DO NOT double stack.
Once the equipment is at the installation location and ready to be
installed, packaging material can be removed and discarded.

there is evidence of outdoor storage. If the equipment is to be
stored indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its
protective packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at
all times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive
conditions, and other contaminants.
It is strongly suggested that the package-protected equipment be
stored in a climate-controlled environment with temperatures
from -30 to 85°C (-22 to 185°F) and with a relative humidity of
80% or less. DO NOT, under any circumstance, stack other
equipment on top of a transfer switch equipment enclosure,

3.5 Features
A variety of standard and optional features are available for Eaton
ATSs. All features or combinations of features may not be avail-
able on specific ATSs. All features and/or accessories are Under-
writers Laboratories (UL) listed unless noted.
The primary function of ATC-800 is to accurately monitor power
sources and provide the necessary intelligence to operate a trans-
fer switch in an appropriate and timely manner. In addition,
the ATC-800 provides useful present and historical data, reliable
two-way communications, and programming through the device’s
faceplate or communications option. The ATC-800 features pro-
prietary microprocessor technology to provide and maintain supe-
rior precision and versatility during both programming and data
access.
3.5.1 Operational Simplicity
From installation to programming to usage, the ATC-800 was
designed with operational simplicity in mind. Only one style
needs to be considered, regardless of input/output requirements
or system voltages and frequencies. The ATC-800 provides the
functionality of numerous other devices combined in one pack-
age that mounts in less than 7 x 11 in. (177.8 x 279.4 mm) of
panel space.
The user friendly front panel interface simplifies routine operation,
programming, data presentation and setting adjustments. An LED
based display provides the flexibility of large character displays for
enhanced visibility. The operation of front panel membrane push-
buttons moves the ATC-800 display from function to function or
step to step within a function. Three LEDs at the top of the face-
plate provide an immediate indication as to the device’s opera-
tional mode. An integral Help Mode provides immediate user

• Tolerance for voltage sensing function: ±1% of full scale.
• Tolerance for frequency sensing function: ±0.3 Hz of setting. 3.5.2 Standard and Optional Features
A variety of programmable features are available to meet a wide
variety of application requirements. Individual features or feature
combinations provide the intelligence required to tailor switches
to individual needs.
The features are factory activated, depending upon customer
requirements. The specific variable setpoints associated with
standard and factory activated features are stored in a nonvola-
tile memory. Activated feature setpoints are available for cus-
tomer adjustment. Any feature not selected and factory activated
cannot be viewed or adjusted.

a. Make the ATS equipment safe for inspection and/or maintenance. Disconnect the line power from equipment being serviced by opening the next highest disconnect device. Make
certain that any accessory control power is switched off by disconnecting all control plugs.
b. Inspect the structure area for safety hazards or potential maintenance problems. Inspect the area, especially where switching device is installed, for any safety hazards, including personnel
safety and fire hazards. Exposure to certain chemical vapors can cause deterioration of electrical connections.
Inspect for accumulated dirt, loose hardware, or physical damage.
Examine the primary insulation for evidence of cracking or overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration,
melting, or blistering of conductor insulation, or as pitting or melting of conductor surfaces due to arcing.
Inspect the secondary control connections for damage and the control wiring for insulation integrity.
c. Inspect the power contactor for dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, or corrosion. Remove dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, and corrosion contamination from the surface of the switching device
using a dry soft lint-free cloth, dry soft bristle brush, and vacuum cleaner. Do not blow debris into the power
contactor. If contamination is found, look for the source and fix the problem.
d. Check for material integrity, uneven wear, discoloration, or loose hardware. Severe material cracking will require replacement and loose hardware will need to be tightened.
e. Check the terminals and connectors for looseness or signs of overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration, melting, or blistering of the conductor insulation.
Connections that do not have signs of looseness or overheating should not be disturbed.
f. Contact Inspection Procedure Remove all the screws on the molded cover over the power assembly. Inspect the contacts. Contact Eaton Care
(1-877-ETN-CARE, Option-2) if the contacts have excessive wear. Reinstall the molded cover and tighten
screws to 17 in-lbs.
g. Exercise the power contactor if it is not often exercised while in operation. If the power contactor is used for frequent switching during normal operation, this step can be disregarded.
This will permit a “wiping” action by the contacts.
h. Return the ATS equipment to service. Make certain all barriers are in place and doors closed. Reapply secondary and primary power.
