SECTION 3.4

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

5. Connect the positive (+) test lead to Wire 23 at the

terminal strip in the transfer switch.

a. If voltage is present, proceed to Step 6.

b. If voltage is not present, repair wiring between

terminal strip and transfer relay (TR).

6. Connect the negative (-) test lead to the ground lug in

the generator control panel. Connect the positive (+)
test lead to Wire 23 in the generator control panel at the
interconnection terminals (ICT) or at the terminal strip.

a. If voltage is present, proceed to Step 7.

b. If voltage is not present, repair wiring between

transfer switch and generator control panel.

7. Connect the positive (+) test lead to Wire 23 located in

the J1 connector Pin Location 3, connected to the circuit
board (see Figure 3, Section 4.1).

a. If voltage is present, proceed to Step 8.

b. If voltage is not present, repair wiring between

(ICT and J1connector).

8. Turn off utility power to transfer switch, simulating a

utility failure.

a. Generator starts and transfer occurs,

discontinue tests.

b. Generator starts and transfer does not occur.

With the generator running and utility off, ground
Wire 23 in the control panel at interconnection
terminals (ICT) or at the terminal strip. If
transfer occurs replace circuit board.

9. Connect the negative (-) test lead to the ground lug in

the generator control panel. Connect the positive (+)
test lead to Wire 194 in the generator control panel at
the interconnection terminals (ICT) or at the terminal
strip.

a. If the voltage is present, repair wiring between

ICT (or terminal strip) and transfer switch

b. If voltage is not present, proceed to Step 10.

10.Connect the positive (+) test lead to Wire 194 located in

the J1 connector Pin Location 4, connected to the circuit
board (see Figure 3, Section 4.1).

a. If voltage is present, repair wiring between J1

connector and ICT (or terminal strip).

b. If voltage is not present, replace circuit board.

TEST 27- CHECK VOLTAGE AT TERMINAL

LUGS N1, N2

DISCUSSION:
If retransfer to the "Utility" power source side is to
occur, utility source voltage must be available to

terminal lugs N1 and N2 of the transfer mechanism.
In addition, If that source voltage is not available to
NI/N2 terminals, automatic startup and transfer to
"Standby" will occur when the generator manual-off-
auto switch is set to AUTO. This test will prove that
"Utility" voltage is available to those terminals, or is
not available. It is the first test in a series of tests that
should be accomplished when (a) retransfer back to
'Utility" does not occur, or (b) startup and transfer
occurs unnecessarily.

DANGER: PROCEED WITH CAUTION! HIGH
AND DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE
PRESENT AT TERMINAL LUGS N1/N2.
CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGE TERMINALS
WILL RESULT IN DANGEROUS AND
POSSIBLY LETHAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO
NOT ATTEMPT THIS TEST WHILE STANDING
ON WET OR DAMP GROUND, WHILE
BAREFOOT, OR WHILE HANDS OR FEET
ARE WET.

PROCEDURE:

1. Make sure that all main line circuit breakers in the utility

line to the transfer switch are “On” or “Closed.”

2. Test for utility source line-to-line voltage across terminal

lugs N1 and N2 (see Figure 1). Normal utility source
voltage should be indicated.

RESULTS:

1. If low or no voltage is indicated, find the cause of the

problem and correct.

2. If normal utility source voltage is indicated, go on to Test

28.

3. For Problem 14 ONLY, if voltage is good, repair or

replace Wire N1A/N2A between Transfer Switch Lugs
N1/N2 and Fuse Holder connections.

TEST 28 - CHECK VOLTAGE AT UTILITY 1 AND

UTILITY 2 TERMINALS

The Utility 1 and Utility 2 terminals in the transfer
switch deliver utility voltage “sensing” to a circuit
board. If voltage at the terminals is zero or low,
standby generator startup and transfer to the
“Standby” source will occur automatically as
controlled by the circuit board. A zero or low voltage
at these terminals will also prevent retransfer back to
the “Utility” source.

PROCEDURE:
With utility source voltage available to terminal lugs
N1 and N2, use an AC voltmeter or a VOM to test for
utility source line-to-line voltage across terminal block
