Transfer To Emergency
The sequence for load transfer to emergency source begins automati- cally when normal source voltage falls below the preset dropout point or when Transfer Switch Test button is pressed. An under voltage condi- tion on any phase of the normal source is detected by the sensor.
When the normal source voltage fails or the Transfer Switch Test button is pressed, the SE relay

When the emergency source is accepted by the sensor, relay ER begins its timing cycle (transfer to emergency delay).

Retransfer to Normal
The sequence for load retransfer to the normal source automatically begins when the voltage sensor detects restoration of the normal source. The voltage level must rise above the preset pickup point on all phases before the sensor will accept the normal source.
When the normal source is accepted by the sensor, relay SE begins its timing cycle (adjustable 1 sec. to 30 min., retransfer to normal delay). For immediate retransfer press Bypass Time Delay button. SE relay is provided with a time delay on pickup to prevent immediate load retransfer to the normal source. The delay insures that the normal source has stabilized before reconnection of vital loads. If the normal source voltage falls below the present dropout point before the time delay expires, the timing cycle is reset to zero. If the emergency source fails for more than 4 seconds during the timing cycle, ER relay drops out and the load is immediately retransferred to the normal source, if that source is acceptable.
SE relay energizes and ER relay is dropped out. The TS coil is energized, the transfer switch operates, and all switch contacts (mains, controls, auxiliaries) reverse position. The transfer switch is now supplying the load from the normal source again.
Upon retransfer to the normal source, NR relay begins its timing cycle (unloaded running delay [engine cooldown] ). NR relay is provided with a 5 minute time delay on pickup to keep the engine running for a
NR relay energizes after the time delay and signals the
