transfer switches may be achieved
by manual adjustment of the test switch located on the control
board. The controller test switch will allow manual testing of the
transfer switch. The purpose of the test switch is to simulate a
utility power failure. Normally the test switch would be set to the
utility position, allowing proper sensing for normal utility faults.
To simulate a utility fault when no fault actually exists, the test
switch would be set to the test position, allowing the transfer
switch to transfer to the generator position. After testing, utility
power can be restored simply by setting the test switch back to
the utility position.
Remote test switch
The remote test switch will allow remote testing of the transfer
switch. The purpose of the test switch is to simulate a utility
power failure. The remote test switch may be installed by a
licensed electrical contractor; the switch would be installed at
the TEST 1 and TEST 2 on the terminal block. Normally the test
switch would be set to the DISABLE position, allowing proper
sensing for normal utility faults. To simulate a utility fault when
no fault actually exists, the test switch would be set to the
ENABLE position, allowing the transfer switch to transfer to the
generator position. A SPST test switch rated at a minimum of 1A
should be used.
Exerciser
The purpose of the exerciser is to perform a test of the transfer
switch either manually or automatically. The exerciser may be
adjusted by a licensed electrical contractor to any specific time
or day in which to perform a test. The exerciser can perform a
test for a load or no-load condition. For details instructions on
operational and setting instructions, see
