The transfer motor drives the centre gear which in turn operates the two secondary gears. There is a projection in the secondary gears which slides in a groove in the operating cams moving the cams from side to side. The breaker handles are set inside two outer guides of the cam and are also moved from side to side. There are two micro switches (NLS, ELS) inside the breakers which are operated by the breaker’s main contacts to disconnect the transfer motor power supply and allow the brake to operate.
The type “RO” transfer switch has three operating positions, the normal breaker closed and the emergency breaker open, the emer- gency breaker closed and the normal breaker open or both the normal and the emergency breakers open but never both the normal and emergency breakers closed at the same time.
The type “RO” Robonic Transfer Switch is also easy to operate manually. Simply remove the transfer motor link and turn the black handle on the front of the transfer mechanism in a counter clockwise direction until you hear the breakers operated and the indicator is in the desired position. There will be no interference from the automatic control. For automatic control again, replace the transfer motor link and the Robonic transfer switch will seek the power available.
The various control components are described under the section titled “Automatic Control”.
The transfer motor drives a centre gear which in turn drives two inner secondary gears. These two inner gears then drive larger, outer secondary gears. There are projections from these outer secondary gears which slide in a groove at the back of each operating cams moving the cam up and down. The breaker handles are set inside two outer guides on the cams, moving up and down with the cams. There are two micro switches (NLS, ELS) inside the breakers which are operated by the breaker’s main contacts to disconnect the transfer motor power supply and allow the brake to operate.
The type “PRO” transfer switch has three operating positions, the normal breaker closed and the emergency breaker open, the emer- gency breaker closed and the normal breaker open or both the normal and emergency breakers closed at the same time.
The type “PRO” Robonic Automatic Transfer Switch is also easy to operate manually. Simply remove the transfer motor link and turn the black handle on the front of the transfer mechanism in a counterclockwise direction until you hear the breakers operated and the colour indicator shows the desired position. For automatic control again, replace the transfer motor link and the Robonic Transfer switch will seek the power available.
