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 has units of 1,000 watts; Dipswitch DPSW2 has
units of 10,000 watts.
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 8,000 equals
18,000 watts. Set only one switch to "ON" position on
DPSW1 and DPSW2.
NOTICE Use extreme caution when setting dipswitches or
damage to control board will result.
•
Use a pencil or small piece of plastic to set the dipswitch.
•
NEVER use a screwdriver or any type of metal object to
set dipswitches.
System Test
With the generator system switch in AUTO, turn the
100 Amp circuit breaker feeding the transfer switch to the
OFF position. After a few minutes the generator will start
and the transfer switch will transfer essential loads to
generator power.
To return to utility power, turn the 100 Amp circuit breaker
feeding the transfer switch ON.
Controls
Other than a Manual Override lever, there are no operator
controls because this is an automatic transfer switch. The
manual override is to be used only by licensed professionals.
