The engine-start terminals are clearly identified by a label on the microcontroller backplate. In the case of manual transfer switches, or in other applications not requiring the microprocessor, clearly marked terminal blocks are provided in the upper left corner of the control panel for the engine start control wires.

Terminals for field connections to the A3 Emergency auxiliary contacts and the A4 Normal auxiliary contacts are also provided. These terminals are clearly marked and appear on the side of the power panel. On 400 amp metal frame units these terminals appear on the bracket above the operator handle.

Manual operation is possible for maintenance purposes only. Manual operation of the switch can be checked before it is operated electrically.

With all power off, insert a Phillips screwdriver or equivalent size tool into the manual operator socket and operate the transfer switch between the Utility and Generator positions. The transfer switch should operate smoothly without binding. Return the switch to the Utility position, remove the screwdriver.
