TESTING & SERVICE (continued)

MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER

This procedure will manually transfer the load if the controller is disconnected.

Do not manually operate the transfer switch until both power sources are disconnected (all conductors deenergized).

1.Deenergize both the normal and emergency source conductors (remove fuses or open circuit breakers).

2.Use the maintenance handle to manually operate the transfer switch to the opposite source. First open the closed contacts, then close the other contacts. Do not try to close both Normal and Emergency contact. See Manual Operation on page 1–3 through 1–6.

3.Then remove the maintenance handle..

Verify that the maintenance handle

has been removed before proceeding!

4.If the transfer switch is in the Emergency position manually start the engine generator and then install emergency source fuse or close the circuit breaker.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Note any optional accessories that may be furnished on the ADTS and review their operation. Refer to any separate drawings and/or instructions that may be packed with the ADTS.

Hazardous voltage capable of causing shock,

burns, or death is used in this switch. Do not touch the power or load terminals of the transfer switch!

If the problem is isolated to circuits on the controller or the transfer switch, call your local ASCO Power Technologies sales office or ASI: in the United States, call 1–800–800–2726 or in Canada call 1–888–234–2726. Furnish the Serial No., Catalog No., and Bill of Material (BOM) No. from the transfer switch nameplate.
