Equipment Description
The transfer switch is intended to transfer the entire load
of normal residential installations when used with the
supervisory contacts provided. The load is connected either
to utility power (normal) or home standby power (generator).
The transfer switch monitors utility and generator voltages
and will automatically connect to the appropriate source of
power.
Major components of the transfer switch are a 2 pole double
throw transfer switch, control circuit board, fused utility
terminals and interconnecting wiring. The control board also
has two inputs for current transformers that sense generator
current.
The transfer switch is solenoid-operated from utility or
generator inputs and contains suitable mechanical and
electrical interlock switches to eliminate the possibility of
connecting the utility service to the generator output. It
has ratings capable of switching full utility power into the
residence. In addition, a manual override lever is provided
for the transfer function.
The control circuit board has active circuits sensing utility
and generator voltages. It creates a signal for the generator
start-up, switch transfer, and retransfer when utility is
restored. The control board also contains red and green
LED’s indicating the power sources available and two
relay operated contacts that provide supervisory control of
external loads.
When protected by one of the type circuit breakers described
below, this transfer switch is rated for use on a circuit
capable of delivering not more than 22,000 rms symmetrical,
240 volts max.

System Setup
You must perform the following before operating the system:
• Ifgeneratorisinstalledinanarearegularlysubjectedto
temperatures below 40°F (4°C), select a 50 second warm up
time by moving jumper JP2 (C) installed on transfer switch
control board from ‘20’ position to ‘50’position.
• SettheDPSW1(A) and DPSW2 (B) dipswitches on the
transfer switch control board to match the kW rating of the
standby generator, as described in SettingDipswitches.
Setting Dipswitches
Dipswitches are used to adjust control board operation based
on generator capacity. DPSW1 and DPSW2 switches are set to
correspond to total system kW rating. Dipswitch DPSW1 (A) has
units of 1,000 watts; Dipswitch DPSW2 (B) has units of
10,000 watts.
Set dipswitches with utility and generator power removed from
the transfer switch to ensure proper control system operation.
If dipswitches are set when power is present at transfer switch,
a power reset needs to be performed before the new dipswitch
settings will take effect. Power reset is when all power is removed
from the transfer switch and then reintroduced after 30 seconds.
NOTICE An FC_8 will occur on standby generator control board if
dipswitches are not properly established as noted above.
The “On” position for the dipswitches is the switch number ON
THE TRANSFER SWITCH CONTROL BOARD, not on the switch. For
example, for an 18,000 watt generator, set DPSW2 dipswitch 10 to
“On” position. Set DPSW1 dipswitch 8 to “On” position. 10,000 plus
8000 equals 18,000 watts.
Set only one switch to “On” position
on DPSW1 andDPSW2.
Refer to following chart for proper switch selection(s).
NOTICE
Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less
available engine power. Specifically, engine power will decrease 3.5%
for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for each 10°
F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C). Generators located in these conditions
must have the transfer switch programmed appropriately for this
power decrease.
