2 – Voltage Checks
First check nameplate on transfer switch; rated voltage must be the same as normal and emergency line voltages.
Use extreme caution when using a meter to measure voltages in the following steps.
Do not touch power terminals; shock, burns, or death could result !
Perform steps 1 through 6 at the right. Observe the status lights. See Figure
OBlack circle means light is on. P White circle means light is off.
*If necessary, adjust voltage regulator on the generator according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The Automatic Transfer Switch will respond only to the rated voltage specified on the Transfer Switch nameplate.
