contactor in the A.T.S. to open. The line side contactor will
close as soon as the generator side contactor clears the
mechanical interlock and closes the electrical interlock.
These interlocks ensure that you get a clean ‘break
before make’ action in the transfer switch.

The restoration of line power also sends a stop signal

to the engine generator set. This stop signal will activate
a cool down timer circuit. The engine generator will shut
down 90 seconds later on the PSS8000 & PSS12000, 3
minutes later on the PSS20000.

This completes your installation and unit testing.

ALWAYS leave the system in automatic mode unless
servicing the unit. For automatic operation, keep both the
generator set and transfer selector switches in the
“AUTOMATIC” position.
