INSTALLATION (continued)
Tighten bolted joints to the torque specified in Table A.
The reliablility of the connection depends on how clean and how tight the joint is.
Table A. Tightening torque values for bolted joints
(Grade 5 hardware)
Bolt Diameter | Tightening Torque |
in inches | in foot pounds |
1/4 | 7 |
5/16 | 12 |
3/8 | 20 |
1/2 | 50 |
5/8 | 95 |
3/4 | 155 |
Note: To temporarily disable engine control from the automatic transfer switch you can unplug J3 from the small P3 receptacle at the bottom of the assembly. Be sure to reconnect plug J3 to the P3 receptacle for automatic transfer switch operation.
Controller Ground
A grounding wire must be connected to the controller’s lower left mounting stud. Because the controller is mounted on the enclosure door, a conductive strap must be used between the enclosure and the door. This connection provides proper grounding which does not rely upon the door hinges.
Harnesses
The transfer switch is connected to the left side of the control panel by a
Auxiliary Circuits
Engine Starting Contacts
The engine control contact connections (if used) are located on the transfer switch. Connect signal wires to appropriate terminals as specified in Table B and shown in Figure
Table B. Engine start connections

Functional Test
The Functional Test consists of three checks:
S1 — Manual Operation Test, page
S2 — Voltage Checks, page
S3 — Electrical Operation, page
Read all instructions on the Wiring Diagram and labels affixed to the ACTS. Note the control features that are provided and review their operation before proceeding.
Continue to 1 – Manual Operation Test on next page.
Do these checks in the order presented to avoid damaging the ATS.
