ATC-900 Magnum Tranfer Switch O & M Manual

The fixed switching device frame has two mounting feet, one on 

each side, to permit the fixed switching device to be securely 

mounted.  Each mounting foot has two slotted mounting holes 

which are used to bolt the switching device securely in place.  Use 

either 3/8” or M 10 bolts for this purpose.  Refer to the dimen-

sional drawings supplied with the transfer switch for switching 

device and bus stab dimensions.

6.3 Switching Device Operation

Switching devices should be operated manually and/or electrically 

before they are put into service.  This can be done during the 

installation process or some later date prior to start-up.  To check 

the switching device operation, follow the operational procedures 

outlined in switching device manual supplied with the transfer 

switch for both manually operated and electrically operated 

switching devices.

Section 7: Operation of the Bypass Isolation
Transfer Switch

7.1 Operator Panel

The design of this transfer switch allows quick removal of the dif-

ferent switching devices for inspection or maintenance or, if 

required, quick replacement. 
Depending on the optional features selected by the customer the 

bypass isolation switch will have two operator panels with 

switches and lights (Figure

36 and 37

). 

Figure 36.Typical Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch Device Panel.

The left door control panel will have following standard features:

1. AMBER LED on the ATC-900 Controller to indicate if the 

Source 1 power source is available.

2. AMBER LED on the ATC-900 Controller to indicate if the 

Source 2 power source is available.

3. GREEN LED on the ATC-900 Controller to indicate if the 

Source 1position is energized, that is, the Source 1 switching 

device in the automatic transfer switch is closed.

4. RED LED on the ATC-900 Controller to indicate if the Source 

2 position is energized, that is, the Source 2 switching device 

in the automatic transfer switch is closed.

5. The Engine Test Pushbutton can be pressed twice and 

released with the ATC-900 controller in the status state to ini-

tiate a self test. This test can be initiated and accomplished 

while in the Run or Program Modes. Pressing the Engine Test 

Pushbutton again while in the engine run condition aborts the 

test.

Upon test initiation, a generator start of the non-preferred 

source is engaged after TDES timeout. If a full test is pro-

grammed, a transfer with all programmed timers occurs. The 

test engine run timer will hold the load for the required time-

out and the test is concluded with a re-transfer cycle. For an 

engine run only test, no transfer will occur and the engine will 

run for the programmed run time.

6. Three-position selector switch to control the generator:

AUTO - The intelligence circuit of the transfer switch will 

start the generator if the Source 1 power source is not 

available.

OFF - The intelligence circuit of the transfer switch will not 

be able to start the generator, which eliminates nuisance 

starts during maintenance.

RUN - The generator will run regardless of the availability 

of the Source 1 power source.
