The last two wires you will install are the DC control
leads (4 or 6 gauge) for the start circuit in the ATS.
These last two connections will be discussed later in
more detail.
WINCO UL ATS (ASCO 165)
See the ASCO installation manual for additional
details on proper wiring of the Automatic Trans-
fer Switch.
The standby generator terminals in the ATS are
marked “ALTERNATE L2 & L6”. The “hot” leads
G and G3 from the generator are connected to the
terminals L2 & L6.
The normal line power terminals in the ATS are
marked “PREFERRED - L & L5”. The “hot” line
power leads are L and L3 from your normal power
supply are connected to terminals L and L5.
The load terminals in the ATS are marked “LOAD
- L3 & L7”. The leads to the load distribution panel
are connected to terminals L3 & L7.
The neutral leads from all three locations are con-
nected to the isolated terminal lugs on the sidewall
of the cabinet. This terminal block is labeled “NEU-
TRAL” and the terminal lugs are mounted on red
isolation standoffs.
The ground leads from all locations are connected to
the grounded terminal lugs also located on the side
wall. This set of terminals is labeled “GROUND”.
INSTALLATION NOTES
The load current carrying wires (L) and (T) must be
sized to handle the maximum load current without
excessive voltage drop. By code, the wire must be
heavy enough to handle the full current rating of the
main line circuit breaker (or fuse) in the enterance
(or sub-panel) protecting the contactor switch.
All wires should be installed in rigid or flexible con-
duit. Because of the many different types of service,
feeder, and distribution equipment, no specific wiring
instructions can be provided. It is, however, recom-
mended that copper wire be used. In all cases it is
essential that while the load is connected to the gen-
erator, there can be absolutely no feedback from the
generator to the power line or the power line to the
generator. When properly installed, the normal ATS
control and safety systems will eliminate all paths for
feedback. Check with your local electrical inspector
on applicable local, state and federal codes.

***** WARNING *****
******************
A service disconnect must be installed in front of the
ATS panel as the ATS is not service enterance rated.
This will alow you to test the generator under load.
Should you ever have to work on the switch, you will
be able to disconnect the power and work on the
switch cold without having the power company pull
your meter.
To wire the automatic transfer switch into the exist-
ing wiring, first determine which circuits will be on
the emergency load circuit. If the entire load is to
be transferred, the transfer switch can be wired in
directly after the watt-hour meter and the service
enterance, providing the service enterance ampere
rating is within the transfer switch’s rated capability.
If only specific circuits are to be powered under
emergency power failure conditions, and additional
distribution panel designated “emergency distribution
panel” must be installed.
All selected emergency circuits are removed from
main distribution panels and reinstalled in the emer-
gency distribution panel. Suggested circuits: freez-
er, refrigerator, furnace, emergency lights, sump
pump, emergency outlet circuits, etc. Total running
load must not exceed generator rating.

INTERCONNECTION
**** CAUTION ****
Never run the AC and DC wiring in the same con-
duit.
ASCO 165 UL SWITCH
Your DC connection points in the ASCO 65 UL ATS
are on the terminal block in the upper right hand
corner of the ATS panel. The terminal block (TB7) is
numbered through 9. These terminals will accept
# 22 - # 4 AWG stranded wire. It is recommended
that you use # 6 AWG for distances up to 200 feet.
You need to run two (2) wires from the generator set
to the transfer switch. You will be using terminals
4 and 5, wire Start # 23 will connect to terminal # 5
and wire Battery Negative # will connect to termi-
nal # 4. See table and illustration on the next page.
