Functional Test

The Functional Test consists of three checks: manual

operation, voltage checks, and electrical operation.

Do these checks in the order presented to

avoid damaging the automatic transfer switch.

!

Read all instructions on the Wiring Diagram and labels
affixed to the automatic transfer switch. Note the control

features that are provided and review their operation

before proceeding.

1 – Manual Operation Test

A detachable maintenance handle is provided on the frame
of the Transfer Switch for maintenance purposes only.

Manual operation of the transfer switch should be checked

before it is energized (operated electrically).

Do not manually operate the transfer switch

until both power sources are disconnected:

open both circuit breakers.

1. After deenergizing both power sources, open the

enclosure door. Locate and remove the maintenance
handle and hub stored on the transfer switch frame.

Then install the hub onto the center operator shaft and

insert the handle firmly into the hole in the side of the
hub (spring fully compressed). See Figure 1–3 and 1–4

and Table B.

2. If the transfer switch is closed on Normal (window shows

CLOSED

), grasp handle firmly and turn it counterclock-

wise. The transfer switch should operate smoothly

without binding. If it does not, check for shipping

damage or construction debris.

3. Turn the handle clockwise to return the transfer switch to

the Normal position. Observe that the window indicators

(left side) show the top shaft OPEN and the bottom shaft

.

Note: If Normal and Emergency connections are

reversed this operation is also reversed.

4. Remove the maintenance handle and hub and store it on

the frame in the place provided.

Verify that the maintenance handle and hub

have been removed before proceeding!
