Automatic vs. Manual Operation
Position Automatic Non-Automatic
Automatically transfers to the standby source when available, if the preferred source is lost
AUTO Transfers back to the preferred source when it becomes available
Automatically transfers to an available Enables the Not-In-Auto indicator

source if the connected source is lost Transfers only when the switch is manually
Does not automatically transfer back to moved to the TRANSFER position:
preferred when both sources are available Does not automatically transfer to an
MANUAL available source when the connected
source is lost
Does not automatically transfer back to
preferred when both sources are available
Can use to transfer when the switch is in Must use for all transfers when the switch is
MANUAL position and both sources are in the MANUAL position
available Initiates transfer sequences to the other
TRANSFER Initiates transfer sequences to the other source including all time delays
source including all time delays Operates pre- and post-transfer load control
Operates pre- and post-transfer load control time delays if both sources are available
time delays if both sources are available
Load Control
• Load Shed
• Time-Based Load Control
• Current-Based Load Control
Load Shed
Disconnects non-critical loads to prevent generator overload.
Standard Features
• Disconnects non-critical loads to prevent generator overload
• Monitors generator current and frequency to determine when
to shed loads
• Loads are added and shed according to priority
• Forced transfer from Emergency to OFF for programmed-
transition models
• Load priorities are hard-wired at installation
• Requires load shed kit
Recommendation
• For applications with multiple transfer switches
• For applications where ATS units have low priority loads where
it is critical not to exceed the load capacity of the generator
Time-Based Load Control
• Control up to 9 individual loads
• Adds and removes based on pre-transfer and
post-transfer
– Only occurs at time of transfer
– Requires I/O modules
Recommendation
• Good for highly inductive loads while minimizing
the size of the generator
Time-based load staging (delay=5.0s)
Current-Based Load Control
• Control up to 9 individual loads
• Adds and removes based on current measurement
– Occurs at any time during operation
– Requires I/O modules and current sensing kit
Recommendation
• Good for insuring power stability for critical loads while minimizing the size of the generator
Three Source System
• One generator is available while the other
is serviced
• Automatic backup power
• Extend time between maintenance and

overhauls
• Lengthen time between refueling
