1 --- Push Buttons

On the front control display are three push buttons that control the operation of the generator and the ATS.

Before using the transfer test button, be sure that conditions are safe for running the generator and for load transfer.

Transfer Test

Use this button to test the system. This operation starts the generator and transfers the load. Be sure that conditions are safe to do this operation.

Bypass Time Delay

Use this button to cancel the active time delay or exercise period (stops the generator after cooldown).

Set Engine Exerciser

Use this button to set the automatic generator exerciser (page 3).

2 --- Indicator Lights

On the front control display are five lights that indicate the status of the sources and the ATS.

Utility Acceptable

This light indicates that the utility voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.

Generator Acceptable

This light indicates that the generator voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.

Load on Utility

This light indicates that the generator voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.

Load on Generator

This light indicates that the generator voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.

Automatic Generator Exerciser

When the utility is acceptable and the load is on the utility, this light flashes the number of days until the next exercise period. When it is off, no exerciser period is set. The light is also off when the generator is running.
