 1. Introduction
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
NORMAL

This manual contains service procedures for an

WOTPC automatic transfer switch (ATS). This is an OVERCURRENT
open transition (OT) transfer switch with Power- PROTECTIVE
Command® Control (PC). With an open transition DEVICE
switch there is never a time when both sources are
supplying power to the load.

Refer to the schematic and wiring diagram pack-

age that was shipped with the ATS for specific infor-
mation about its configuration.

Use normal and necessary safety precautions be-

fore starting any service procedure. Identify all haz- LOAD
ards by referring to the Safety Precautions and ob-
serve all warnings and cautions within the manual.
Whenever you are troubleshooting, remember that
the generator set, ATS, and utility power source are
all interdependent.

TRANSFER SWITCH APPLICATIONS

Transfer switches are an essential part of a build-

OVERCURRENT
ing’s standby or emergency power system. Power PROTECTIVE
Source 1 (Normal), commonly the utility line, is DEVICE
backed up by Power Source 2 (Emergency), often
a generator set. The transfer switch automatically
switches the electrical load from one source to the
other. EMERGENCY

The load is connected to the common of the ATS FIGURE 1-1. LOAD TRANSFER SWITCH
(Figure 1-1). Under normal conditions, the load is (TYPICAL FUNCTION)
supplied with power from Source 1 (as illustrated).
If Source 1 is interrupted, the load is transferred to
Source 2. When Source 1 returns, the load is re-
transferred to Source 1. The transfer and retransfer
of the load are the two most basic functions of a
ATS.

 TRANSFER SWITCH FUNCTION
Automatic transfer switches, capable of automatic
operation without operator intervention, perform
the basic function of transferring the load to the
available source. The controller monitors each
source for allowable voltage and frequency range.
The WOTPC ATS supports utility-to-generator, util-
ity-to-utility, and generator-to-generator applica-
tions.
UTILITY-TO-GENSET OPERATION
In utility-to-genset applications, the transfer switch
performs the following functions:
1. Senses the interruption of the Source 1 power.
2. Sends a start signal to the generator set
(Source 2).
3. Transfers the load to the Source 2.
4. Senses the return of Source 1.
5. Retransfers the load to Source 1.
6. Sends a stop signal to the generator set.
UTILITY-TO-UTILITY OPERATION
In utility-to-utility applications, the transfer switch
performs the following functions:
1. Senses the interruption of the Source 1 power.
2. Transfers the load to the Source 2.
3. Senses the return of Source 1.
4. Retransfers the load to Source 1.
If one genset fails to operate within the specified
range of voltage and frequency, the transfer switch
automatically starts and connects the other genset.
Level 2 controllers can control a two-utility configu-
ration for prime power. One utility is designated the
preferred source. The control automatically trans-
fers the load between the two utilities and detects
alarm conditions.
The operator can select either source as the pre-
ferred source (see Figure 1-2). The Preferred
Source menu is included in the Test submenus
(see Figure 4-13). The PC service tool can also be
used to designate either source as the preferred
source.
Note: The exercise routine is not available in this
configuration.

FIGURE 1-2. PREFERRED SOURCE SUBMENU
GENERATOR-TO-GENERATOR
OPERATION
In genset-to-genset applications, there are two
possible configurations, as shown in Figure 1-3.
• Prime Power − Two gensets provide all of
the power (utility power is not available)
• Dual Standby − Two gensets are used to
back up utility power
In Prime Power genset-to-genset applications, the
ATS performs the same as with utility-to-genset ap-
plications.
In Dual Standby genset-to-genset applications, the
master and the slave ATSs perform the following
functions.
1. The slave ATS begins connected to the pre-
ferred source (either genset A or B, but neither
genset is operating yet) and monitors for the
Stand-by Start signal from the master ATS
(see Figure 1-3).
2. When the signal is received, the slave ATS
starts the preferred genset.
3. If the preferred source voltage is acceptable,
the slave ATS remains there and turns off the
non-preferred genset. Otherwise, the slave
ATS will transfer to the non-preferred source.
4. When the utility source returns on the master
ATS, then it will transfer back to the utility and
disables the Stand-by Start signal.
5. When the Stand-by Signal is disabled, the
slave ATS turns off the operating genset (ei-
ther genset A or B).
Note: The Test/Exercise function and Load Shed
feature are not available in this configuration.
Prime Power (Plant to Plant) Operation
In prime power applications, utility power is not
available. The system includes one transfer switch
and two gensets (see Figure 1-3). One genset is al-
ways running and supplying power to the load while
the other genset is the backup genset. An external
power supply is not needed in this application.
At any time, the PC service tool or the Test sub-
menu (see Figure 1-2) can be used to designate ei-
ther genset (Source 1 or Source 2) as the preferred
genset. The Preferred Source menu is included in
the Test submenus (see Figure 4-13).

If the user manually changes the preferred source

Preferred Source Selection − Under normal op-
eration, one genset is designated as the preferred
source and supplies power to the load. The second
genset is the backup power source. If the preferred
genset fails, the backup genset starts and the
transfer switch transfers the load to the backup
genset.
setting so that the backup genset becomes the pre-
ferred genset, the transfer switch transfers the load
to the new preferred genset when it becomes avail-
able. The unit that is carrying the load is always
considered the preferred source. The control
doesn’t automatically select which source is con-
sidered preferred.

Automatic Changeover − The transfer switch can
be set up to change the preferred source automati-
cally by enabling the changeover timer. The Time
Delay sub-menus under Setup (see Figure 4-12,
depending upon your software version) or the PC
Service tool can be used to enable the changeover
timer and specify a changeover delay time period.
The automatic changeover timer automatically
changes the preferred source and transfers the
load to the new preferred genset after a TDEN time
delay. After the transfer is complete, the control ini-
tiates a cool-down period (TDEC) on the old pre-
ferred genset before shutting it down. The old pre-
ferred genset is now the new backup genset. The
changeover timer is now timing for the next
changeover and the cycle continues as long as the
changeover timer is enabled.

Prime Power Wiring − A permanent start jumper is
installed in the transfer switch and is shipped from
the factory in the prime power mode. Verify that the
jumper (TB3-57 to TB3-59) is installed (see inter-
connect drawing 626−2108, sheet 1 in Chapter 8).
System Startup − To set up a system for prime
power operation:
1. Place the motor disconnect switch in the Off
position, and both generator selector switches
into the OFF position.
1-4
2. Place the transfer switch in the Source 1 posi-
tion.
3. Place the Off−Manual−Auto selector switch on
the Source 1 genset control in the Auto posi-
tion. The genset will start and supply power to
the load (the load will be energized and TDE-
Ca may be timing).
4. Use the PC Service tool or the Test sub-menu
to set this genset as the preferred source.
5. Wait for TDECa to finish timing.
6. Place the Off−Manual−Auto selector switch on
the backup genset (Source 2) control in the
Auto position.
7. Place the motor disconnect switch in the Auto
position.
8. If desired, use the Time Delay sub-menus un-
der Setup or use the PC Service tool to enable
the changeover timer and specify a change-
over delay time period.
Testing the System by Turning Off the Pre-
ferred Source:
1. With the preferred source genset running and
supplying power to the load, place the genset
control Off−Manual−Auto selector switch in
the Off position. The backup genset should
start and run.
After the voltage and frequency are at accept-
able levels, the transfer switch should transfer
the load to the backup genset.
2. Place the genset control Off−Manual−Auto se-
lector switch on the preferred genset back in
the Auto position. The preferred genset should
start and run.
After the voltage and frequency levels are at
acceptable levels, the transfer switch should
transfer the load back to the preferred genset.
After the transfer is complete, the control initi-
ates a cool-down period (TDEC) on the back-
up genset and it should stop.
Testing the System by Changing the Desig-
nated Preferred Source:
1. With the preferred source genset running and
supplying power to the load, use the PC Ser-
vice tool or the Test sub-menu to change the
preferred source. The new preferred source
should start and run.
After the voltage and frequency are at accept-
able levels, the transfer switch should transfer
the load to the new preferred source.
After the transfer is complete, the control initi-
ates a cool-down period (TDEC) on the old
preferred source and it should stop.
2. Use the PC Service tool or the Test sub-menu
to change the preferred source back to the
original genset. The original genset should
start and run.
After the voltage and frequency levels are at
acceptable levels, the transfer switch should
transfer the load back to the original genset.
After the transfer is complete, the control initi-
ates a cool-down period (TDEC) on the back-
up genset and it should stop.
Dual Stand-By Operation
In dual stand-by applications, utility power is avail-
able. The system includes two transfer switches
and two gensets. Utility power supplies power to
the load and both gensets are backup gensets.
Under normal operation, the utility is supplying
power to the load through the lead transfer switch.
The lead transfer switch is a utility-to-genset
switch. The two gensets are connected to the gen-
set-to-genset transfer switch. The load side of this
switch is connected to the genset side of the lead
transfer switch.
Upon loss of utility power to the lead transfer
switch, a signal is sent to the genset-to-genset
transfer switch to start the preferred genset. When
the lead transfer switch senses generator voltage,
it transfers the load to that genset. If the preferred
genset fails to start, a signal is sent to the backup
genset to start. The PC Service tool or the Test sub-
menu on the genset-to-genset transfer switch can
be used to set the preferred source.
If the Stand-By Start is inactive, upon initial power–
up (or reset), or during software initialization, the
1-5
transfer switch control will not start either genset.
When a Stand-By Start command is received from
a Master ATS (or other device), the preferred gen-
set immediately starts. If the preferred genset does
not start, a time delay engine start (TDES) is initi-
ated and the control starts the backup genset. The
load is connected to the genset when it becomes
available.
If the preferred genset becomes available while the
backup genset is active, a time delay retransfer
(TDEN) period is initiated and the load is retrans-
ferred back to the preferred genset. A time delay
cool-down (TDEC) period is initiated before turning
off the backup genset. When the Stand-By Start
becomes deactivated, a TDEC period is initiated
and the active generator is turned off.
Preferred Source Selection − Under normal op-
eration, one genset is designated as the preferred
source and the second genset is designated as the
backup power source. If the both the utility power
and the preferred genset fails, the backup genset
starts and the genset-to-genset transfer switch
transfers the load to the backup genset.
At any time, the PC Service tool or the Test sub–
menu on the genset-to-genset transfer switch can
be used to designate either genset (Source 1 or
Source 2) as the preferred genset. If the preferred
genset is changed and the backup genset be-
comes the preferred genset, the transfer switch
transfers the load to the new preferred genset if it is
needed and when it becomes available.
Alternating Preferred Source − In an attempt to
keep the running time equally distributed between
both gensets, the control can be set to alternate be-
tween the gensets when utility power fails. The se-
lected preferred genset starts with the first power
outage. The second power outage starts the back-
up genset, which now becomes the preferred gen-
set. Upon subsequent outages, the preferred gen-
set alternates.
Only utility outages and tests or exercises initiated
at the lead transfer switch result in the gensets be-
ing alternated. The designated preferred genset
will not change if it fails and the backup genset
takes over the load. This alternating preferred
source can only be enabled with the PC Service
tool. When enabled, a genset can be designated
as the preferred source for a maximum of two
weeks. Time adjustments can be made in one-hour
increments.
Control Voltage − A dual stand-by configuration
requires an external 12−24 VDC power supply to
keep the genset-to-genset control active. An op-
tional Battery Kit is available, or the genset starting
batteries can be used. See drawing 630−2024 for
connection details.
Dual Stand-By Wiring − For dual stand-by ap-
plications, the jumper (TB3-57 to TB3-59) must be
removed (see interconnect drawing 630−2024 in
Chapter 8).
System Startup − To set up a system for dual
stand-by operation:
1. Place the motor disconnect switch on both
transfer switches in the Off position.
2. Connect both transfer switches to the Source 1
side.
3. Make sure the Off−Manual−Auto selector
switch on both gensets is in the Off position.
4. Make sure the genset-to-genset transfer
switch is being powered by an external DC
supply.
5. Press the Lamp Test/Reset button on the gen-
set-to-genset transfer switch. If all of the front
panel lights come on, the control is running
properly.
6. Use the PC Service tool or the Test sub-menu
on the genset-to-genset transfer switch to set
the Source 1 genset as the preferred source.
7. Energize utility power to the lead transfer
switch. The load is energized and a time delay
(TDECa) begins.
8. Wait for TDECa to finish timing.
9. Set the time delay engine start (TDESa) to
zero on the lead transfer switch.
1-6
10. Set the time delay engine stop (TDECa) to
zero on the lead transfer switch.
11. If desired, use the PC Service tool to enable
the alternating preferred source.
12. Place the motor disconnect switch in the Auto
position on both transfer switches.
Testing the System by Removing Utility Power
and Turning Off the Preferred Genset:
1. With the utility supplying power to the load and
neither genset running, turn off the utility circuit
breaker feeding the load transfer switch. The
preferred genset should start and run.
After the voltage and frequency are at accept-
able levels, the lead transfer switch should
transfer the load to the preferred genset.
2. Place the Off−Manual−Auto selector of the
preferred genset (running) control in the Off
position.
The preferred genset should stop and the
backup genset should start and run.
After the voltage and frequency are at accept-
able levels, the genset-to-genset transfer
switch should transfer the load to the backup
genset.
3. Place the Off−Manual−Auto selector switch on
the preferred genset back to the Auto position.
The preferred genset should start and run.
After the voltage and frequency are at accept-
able levels, the genset-to-genset transfer
switch should transfer the load to the preferred
genset. The backup genset should stop after
the time delay engine cool-down (TDECa) is
completed.

SWITCH PANEL
The switch panel (Figure 2-3) is a standard feature
on all WOTPC transfer switches. It contains six
indicator lamps and three membrane buttons.
FIGURE 2-3. SWITCH PANEL
Indicator Lamps
Source 1 Available and Source 2 Available
These indicators are lit when the corresponding
sources have acceptable output voltage and/or fre-
quency. These indicators can be lit simultaneously.
Source 1 Connected
This indicator is lit when the ATS is in the Source 1
position and Source 1 is supplying power to the
load.
Source 2 Connected
This indicator is lit when the ATS is in the Source 2
position and Source 2 is supplying power to the
load.
Not in Auto
For all configurations, the Not in Auto indicator
lights when the ATS is not in Auto.
The transfer switch is not in auto when any of the
following signals are active:
• Motor Disconnect Switch is set to Off
• Fail-to-Disconnect event is active
• Control is locked out
• Wiring harness is disconnected from J12 on
the Power Module
• Controller is set to Offline
• The Operator Release key switch is in the
Unlocked (Manual) position − This only ap-
plies to models that include the optional ex-
ternal manual operation handle.
Test/Exercise Active
The Test/Exercise Active indicator is lit when the
ATS has a test or exercise in progress.
Membrane Buttons
Test
For utility-to-genset applications, the Test switch
sends a start signal to the generator set designated
Source 2 and blinks the Test/Exercise Active indi-
cator. After the start and transfer time delays or
source synchronization, Source 2 starts and as-
sumes the load provided that the With Load option
is selected. Press the Test switch again to end the
test; the Test/Exercise Active indicator goes out
and Source 1 resumes as the source of power.
For utility-to-utility applications, the Test switch
starts the transfer time delay or source synchro-
nization and the non-preferred Source assumes
the load, provided that the With Load option is se-
lected. Press the Test switch again to end the test;
the Test/Exercise Active indicator goes out and the
preferred Source resumes as the source of power.
For genset-to-genset applications, there is no
test function.
Override
The Override switch terminates most system time
delays. The Program Transition (TDPT), Elevator
signal (TDEL) and Engine Cool Down (TDEC) are
not affected by this button. If you press this switch
while the Transfer Inhibit input is active, the switch
immediately transfers the load. If you press this
switch while the Retransfer Inhibit input is active,
the switch immediately retransfers the load. For
more information on Transfer Inhibit, see page
2-10. For information on Retransfer Inhibit, see
page 2-10.
The Override function is not available unless the
front panel switch is in the Program position.
Reset/Lamp Test
The Reset/Lamp Test button turns on all control
panel indicators. This switch also acknowledges
2-3
events and resets active faults (refer to Events on
page 3-16).
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display is standard on Level 2 controls
and optional on Level 1 controls. It contains a 2-line
by 20-character digital display module and 6 mo-
mentary contact membrane buttons. The display
provides a method for monitoring load power con-
dition, adjusting transfer switch parameters, moni-
toring PowerCommand Network status, or re-
viewing transfer switch events. It is password pro-
tected to limit access to unauthorized adjustments.
The module displays the software menus and the
buttons are used to navigate through the menu sys-
tem.
Each menu indicates the function of the four
switches at the sides of the display module. Not all
buttons are active for each menu. See Section 4:
Digital Display Menu System, for details on the
complete digital display menu structure.

Electronic Control Circuit Modules

The WOTPC transfer switch control incorporates a

Digital and a Power Module. Two versions of each
are available: one for Level 1 controls and one for
Level 2 controls. The power modules are available
in four different voltage ranges (240 VAC 1 phase 3
wire, 208−240 VAC 3 phase 4 wire, 380−480 VAC 3
phase 4 wire, and 600 VAC 3 phase 4 wire). The
digital module has two 3-volt batteries to power the
real-time clock when no source voltage is avail-
able. When replacing these batteries, change them
one at a time.
Digital Module: The digital module (see Figures
2-6 and 2-7) contains the logic and timing circuits
that control transfer switch operation. These mod-
ules also contain many of the customer interface
circuits (including the genset start signal and net-
work port), the RS-232 communications port for the
service tool, and drivers for the control panel indi-
cators, switches, and bar graph meter panel.
J24 J28 J25
J27
FIGURE 2-7. LEVEL 2 DIGITAL MODULE
Power Module: The power modules contain a
power supply for the digital modules, voltage sens-
ing transformers, and relays. These modules also
contain the interface circuits for the transfer switch
including the position sensing switches and relay
drivers.12 VDC rectification and regulation circuits
on this module are powered by both sources
through transformers.
The Level 1 power module has three transformers
allowing power from either source (1 or 2) for the
switch components. The connections for two trans-
formers on Source 1 are A-B and B-C. Source 2
transformer is connected at A-C.

Terminals 1 − 4 on TB2 are used for remote start-
ing. The ATS control closes the RMT contact
(TB2−4) to TB2−2 when a genset start is required.
Connect RMT (TB2−4) to the genset start signal.
For gensets requiring a grounded start signal con-
nect the jumper between TB2−2 and ground
(TB2−1). For gensets requiring a battery start sig-
nal connect the jumper between TB2−2 and B+
2-7
(TB2−3). For gensets requiring a dry contact clo-
sure for genset start do not use the jumper. Con-
nect RMT (TB2−4) and TB2−2 to the genset start
contacts.

Programmed Transition
Program Transition introduces a delay (TDPT) dur-
ing transition of the switch. Programmed transition
stops the switch in the neutral position for an ad-
justable interval of time. In this position, the load is
not connected to either Source 1 or 2. This delay al-
lows residual current from inductive loads to decay
to an acceptable level before transfer is completed.
The parameters are adjustable. The length of time
that the ATS is in the neutral position can be ad-
justed from 0 to 60 seconds in 1 second incre-
ments. The default value is 0 seconds. The proper
adjustment is a function of the load. This feature is
enabled by default. The values are set with PC ser-
vice tool or the digital display.
Transfer Times
The controller senses and records the time it takes
for the ATS to break from one source and reconnect
to the other source. (Transfer times are not re-
corded if Programmed Transition delay is in use).
Test With or Without Load
The operator can test the ATS, generator, and pow-
er system automatically. The operator can transfer
the load during the test or to only test the generator.
Both hardware means (switch input) and software
means (PowerCommand network) input can acti-
vate an automatic test sequence.
Programmable Generator Exerciser
Programmable generator exercises and exercise
exceptions are generally programmed to be recur-
ring. They can be programmed from the PC service
tool or the digital display when it is available.
Level 1 controllers include two programmable gen-
erator exercises and two programmable exercise
exceptions. While all events can be set using the
PC Service tool, only one exercise and one exer-
cise exception can be set with the digital display.
Level 2 controllers include eight programmable
generator exercises and eight programmable exer-
cise exceptions. While all events can be set using
the PC Service tool, only two exercises and two ex-
ercise exceptions can be set with the digital display.
All controllers have a push-button switch on the
digital module that enables and disables the exer-
ciser clock. See the Digital Display Menu System
section for details on setting the clock. The Real-
Time clock must be set before exercise programs
are entered.
For utility-to-genset configurations, the exerciser
clock initiates genset start and run cycles at speci-
fied intervals for specified durations. The exerciser
is not used in utility-to-utility or genset-to-genset
configurations (see Generator-to-Generator Con-
trol Mode).
Remote Test Switch
The transfer switch may be wired with a remote test
switch.
For utility-to-genset applications, closure of a set
of contacts across the remote test transfer input
(TB2-5 and TB2-8 − see Figure 2-12) causes the
transfer switch to sense a (simulated) utility power
failure and sends a start/run signal to the generator
2-8
set. The load is transferred to Source 2 when
Source 2 becomes available.
A jumper can be temporarily connected between
TB2-5 and TB2-8 to test this feature.
Opening a set of contacts across the remote test
transfer input causes the transfer switch to sense
that utility power has been restored and transfers
the load back to Source 1.

TEST TRANSFER
For utility-to-utility applications, closure of a set of
contacts across the remote test transfer input
(TB2-5 and TB2-8) causes the transfer switch to
sense a (simulated) power failure of the primary
source and transfers the load to the backup source.
Opening a set of contacts across the remote test
transfer input causes the transfer switch to sense
that the primary source has been restored and
transfers the load back to the primary source.
This feature is not available with genset-to-
genset applications.
Real-Time Clock
All controllers have a real-time clock that keeps
track of the time and date. This clock is year 2000
compliant. The controller uses the real-time clock
to time and date stamp all events.
Note: The clock is not set at the factory. To set the
clock, use the digital display or PC Service tool.
Voltage Imbalance Sensor
Three phase Level 2 controllers include a voltage
imbalance sensor for both Source 1 and Source 2.
This feature informs the operator when there is sig-
nificant voltage imbalance between the phases of
Source 1 or Source 2. This feature is used for
equipment protection.
A voltage imbalance is typically caused by severe
single phase loading. The sensor indicates a failure
when the maximum deviation from the average
voltage is greater than a user-specified value be-
tween 2 and 10 % (drop-out) of the average voltage
in 1% increments. The pickup value is fixed at 10%
of the drop-out. The time delay for the imbalance
sensor drop-out is adjustable (2−20 seconds).
The operator can enable this sensor. See the Digi-
tal Display Menu System section. This sensor is in-
active for single phase systems and indicates no
failures. To prevent nuisance faults, the setting can
be increased up to 10 % of the nominal voltage.
Phase Rotation Sensor
Three phase Level 2 controllers include a phase
rotation sensor. This feature monitors the phase
rotation of the source opposite from the connected
source. When the alternate source is out of phase
rotation with the connected source, transfer is in-
hibited. This generally occurs on new installations
or after storm damage or generator rewiring. This
feature protects against equipment damage by
preventing transfer to a source that is out of phase.
This feature is required in fire pump applications.
CAUTION Level 1 controls do not support
three-phase sensing on Source 2. Do not select
the three-phase option for the Source 2 Sens-
ing adjustment with Level 1 controls, even if the
system is three phase. This setting will prevent
Source 2 from becoming available.
Both voltage sources have to be applied in order to
check phase rotation. Generally, a power source
may become out of phase rotation in new installa-
tions, after a storm, or when there is generator re-
wiring.
This feature is enabled by default. To disable it, see
the Digital Display Menu System section.

Loss of Single Phase Sensor
Three phase Level 2 controllers include a loss of
single phase sensor. This feature initiates a trans-
fer from a source that has lost a single phase and
prevents a transfer to a source that has lost a single
phase. This is generally caused by a single phase
to line ground or open. The controller indicates a
fault when the relative phase angle between any
line-to-line phase angle drops to less than 90. This
feature is mainly used to protect three phase de-
vices, such as motors.
The operator can enable this sensor. See the Digi-
tal Display Menu System section. This sensor is in-
active for single phase systems and indicates no
failures.
Generator-to-Generator Control Mode
Level 2 controllers can control a two-generator
configuration for either dual standby or prime pow-
er. One generator is designated the preferred
source. The control automatically transfers the
load between the two generators and detects gen-
erator alarm conditions. This configuration re-
quires the optional Battery Kit when used in dual
standby mode.
The operator can select the preferred source
(Source 1 or Source 2) in the genset-to-genset
mode. The preferred source selection is made at
the digital display (under Test).
A separate changeover timer automatically trans-
fers loads between the two generators. The
changeover timer is set from the digital display or
the PC Service tool. The exerciser clock is not
available in this configuration.
Utility-to-Utility Control Mode
Level 2 controllers can control a two-utility configu-
ration for prime power. One utility is designated the
preferred source. The control automatically trans-
fers the load between the two utilities and detects
alarm conditions. The exerciser clock is not avail-
able in this configuration.
The operator can select either source as the pre-
ferred source. See the Digital Display Menu Sys-
tem section.
Transfer Inhibit Input
This feature is used to control load transfer to gen-
sets. When activated, load transfer will not take
place unless the Override button on the switch pan-
el is pressed or the transfer inhibit input is disabled.
A transfer inhibit input is set up by connecting a re-
mote contact between TB2-6 and TB2-8 (see Fig-
ure 2-13). Closing the contact enables the feature
and opening the contact disables it. When enabled,
the event is displayed on the front panel.
This feature can also be activated through a net-
work or with the PC service tool. A jumper can be
temporarily connected between TB2-6 and TB2-8
to test this feature.

Retransfer Inhibit Input
This feature is used to prevent the ATS from auto-
matically transferring the load back to Source 1 (or
the preferred source in genset-to-genset applica-
tions). When activated, load retransfer will not take
place unless the Override button on the switch pan-
el is pressed, the retransfer inhibit input is disabled,
or Source 2 (or the backup source in gen-
set−to−genset applications) fails.
NOTE: If Source 2 (or the backup source in gen-
set-to-genset applications) fails, the Re-
transfer Inhibit is ignored.
Retransfer Inhibits are set up by connecting a re-
mote contact between TB3-53 and TB3-54 (see
Figure 2-14). Closing the contact enables the fea-
ture and opening the contact disables it. When en-
abled, the event is displayed on the front panel. For
TB3 location inside the transfer switch cabinet, see
Figure 2-16.
