3. Operational Testing
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug in the powercord. If the main panel circuit breakers are switched on,
RV load should operate normally. Unplug the powercord.
2. Start the generator. There is a pre-programmed 20-30 second delay in the
transfer switch. The delay is designed to allow the generator a brief warm-up
period. When the delay completes its cycle the switch should engage and
the RV load should operate normally. An audible click should sound as the
switch engages.
3. Shut down the generator. As the generator winds down the switch should
disengage without chatter or cycling. An audible click should sound as the
switch disengages.
4. Plug in the powercord. Start the generator. After the preprogrammed
delay, the switch should transfer power automatically from the powercord to
the generator. Listen for the audible click as the switch transfers, as there
will likely be no other indication that the switch has engaged. Shut down the
generator and unplug the powercord.
5. On transfer switch arrangements with three power supplies, plug in the
powercord, start the generator, and turn on the inverter. With all three
supplies energized at the same time, the switch will select the generator for
the primary supply choice. Shut down the generator. The switch will transfer
to the powercord. Unplug the powercord. The switch will transfer to the
inverter. The inverter should always be connected so that it is only selected
in the absence of both the other supplies.
4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Low Voltage
Low voltage is harmful to most appliances. Contactor-based transfer switches are
also affected by low voltage; if the voltage level drops far enough the contactor
points will “chatter”. Sustained contact chattering can cause transfer switch
damage. Switches that have been damaged by chattering need to be returned to
the factory for replacement.
