SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
The ASCO Series 200 automatic transfer switching
equipment (A TSE) consists of a transfer switching device,
monitoring and transfer control device (controller), and
membrane controls (for door mounting). The ATSE is
factory tested. Installation requires mounting the devices
into an appropriate size enclosur e and connection of
power conductors, engine start signal wires, and auxiliary
circuits.
Mounting
The Outline and Mounting Diagram furnished with the
ATSE show s all mounting details and instructions.
NOTICE
Protect the automatic transfer switching
equipment from construction grit and metal chips
to prevent malfunction or shortened life of the
transfer switching device.
Mount the transfer switch vertically in the back of the
enclosure as shown on the Outline and Mounting
Diagram provided. Level all mounting points of t he
rigid supporting structure by using flat washers behind
the holes to avoid forced distortion of the transfer
switch.
Mount the membrane controls and the controller on the
inside of the enclosure door as shown on the Outline
and Mounting Diagram provided. The membrane
controls must be accessible through a cutout in the
door. Connect the membrane controls to the right side
of the controller with the ribbon cable provided. Then
connect the transfer switching device harness plugs to
the left side of the controller. See Figures 1–1 and 1–2.

An add-on rail is provided for some optional accessories. If provided, mounted it below the controller. Then
make the connections shown on the Wiring Diagram.
Grounding
Grounding (earthing) is accomplished by mounting the
automatic transfer switching equipment in a metal
enclosure. Connect the control panel grounding wire
(lower left side) to equipment (enclosure or clean earth)
ground. This wire can be connected to the controller’s
lower left mounting stud. Because the controller is
mounted on a door, a conductive strap must be used
between the enclosure and the door. This connection
provides proper grounding which does not rely upon the
door hinges. See Figure 1–3.

SECTION 2 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Lights show position of transfer switching device.
Transfer To Emergency
Thesequenceforloadtransferto
emergency source begins
automatically when normal
source voltage falls below the
preset dropout point or when
Transfer Test button is pressed. An
under voltage cond ition on any
phase of the normal source is
detected by the sensor.
When the no rmal
source voltage fails
or the Transfe r Test
button is pressed, the
SE relay de-energizes and relay NR
begins its timing
cycle (1 or 3 seconds,
momentary n o rmal
source outage delay) . The NR relay is provided with a time
delay on dropout to override momentary outages and
prevent nuisance starting of the engine-driven generator.
If the normal source vol tag e returns abov e the sensor
dropout setting before the time delay expires, the NR
relay timing cycle is reset to zero and relay SE energizes.
If the normal source voltage does not return above the
sensor dropout setting before the time delay expires, the
NR relay de-energizes and signals the engine-driven
generator to start. At the same time, a voltage and
frequency sensor begins monitoring the emergency
source. The sensor will accept the emergency source only
when both voltage and frequency reach preset pickup
points. Usually about ten seconds elapse from dropout of
the NR relay to acceptance by the sensor. This time span
occurs because the engine-driven generator must crank,
start, and run up to nominal pickup points. For this
reason, if the Transfer Test buttonispresseditmustbe
held for 15 seconds. If the emergency source is available
immediately, the sensor may accept it as soon as NR relay
drops out.
When the emergency source is accepted by the sensor,
relay ER begins its timing cycle (transfer to emergency
delay). ER relay is provided with an adjustable (0 to 5
minutes) time delay on pickup to delay transfer of the
load to the emergency source. F or immediate transfer
press Bypass Time Delay button.
ER relay energizes, the TS coil is energized, the
transfer switching device operates, and all switch
contacts (mains, controls, auxiliaries) reverse position.
The transfer switch is now supplying the load from the
emergency source.
The tra nsfer switching device will remai n i n the
Emergencyposition untilthe normal source is restored.
If the Transfer Test button is used, the transfer switching
device will remain on emergency until the retransfer to
normal delay times out.
Hold 15 sec.to
start the engine
generator and to
transfer the load
to emergency.

Retransfer to Normal
The sequence for load retransfer to the normal source
automatically begins when the voltage sensor detects
restoration of the normal source. The voltage level
must rise above the preset pickup point on all phases
before the sensor will accept the normal source.
When the normal source is accepted by the sensor,
relay SE begins its timing cycle (adjustable 1 sec. to 30
min., retransfer to normal delay). For immediate
retransfer press Bypass Time Delay button. SE relay is
provided with a time delay on pickup to prevent
immediate load retransfer to the normal source. The
delay insures that the normal source has stabilized
before reconnection of vital loads. If the normal source
voltage falls below the present dropout point before the
time delay expires, the timing cycle is reset to zero. If
the emergency source fails for more than 4 seconds
duringthe timingcycle, ER relay drops out and the load
is immediately retransferred to the normal source, if
that source is acceptable.
SE relay energizes and ER relay is dropped out. The TS
coil is energized, the transfer switching device operates, and all switch contacts (mains, controls, auxiliaries) reverse position. The transfer switching device i s
now supplying the load from the normal source again.
Upon retransfer to the normal source, NR relay begins
its timing cycle (unloaded running delay [engine cool-
down] ). NR relay is provided with a 5 minute time
delay on pickup to keep the engine running for a
cool-down period.
NR relay energizes after the time delay and signals the
engine-driven generator to shut down. All circuits are
reset for any future normal source failure.
Activation of standard control features shown in Section
5 will alter the sequence of operation and introduce
additional time delays during transfer operations.

NOTICE
Do not make any setting changes while the
controller is energized.
How to Change a Setting
1. Prevent the transfer switching device from operating by disconnecting one source first, then the
other, as follows:
a. If the transfer switching device is in the Normal
position, ope n the emergency source circuit
breaker. Turn the engine starting control to off.
Then open the normal source circuit breaker.
b. If the transfer switching device is in the
Emergency position, open the normal source
circuit breaker. Turn engine starting control to
test or run. Then open the emergency source
circuit breaker.
2. Disconnect bot h harness plugs from controller by
squeezing the latches. Do not pull on the wires.
3. Remove cover from the controller by releasing latch
on right side with your thumb. See Figure 4-1.
4. Locate the appropriate adjustment potentiometer or
DIP switch for the setting that you want to change.
Refer to Table 4-1 and Table 4–2 on page 4-1 and
Figure 4-2, Figure 4–3, Figure 4–4 on page 4–2.
5. Use a small screwdriver to turn the potentiometer
clockwise to increase the time delay or counterclockwisetodecreaseit. SeeFigure4-3.
6. Use a ball-point pen (or similar pointed tool) to
slide the switch actuators left or right so they match
the illustrationnext to the setting(left = off, right=
on). Recheck the setting. See Figure 4-4.
7. Install the cover on the controller by hooking it on
the left side and latching the right side.
8. Reconnect both harness plugs to the controller by
aligning and pressing straight in until lat ches click.
Close the automatic transfer switching
equipment enclosure door and tighten the
screws before restoring power.
9. Close the enclosure door, then restore bothsources:
a. If the transfer switching device is in the Normal
position first close the normal source circuit
breaker, then close the emergency source circuit breaker.
b. If the transfer switching device is in the
Emergency position, close the normal source
circuit breaker. The load will be automatically
retransferred to the normal source. Then close
the emergency source circuit breaker.

SECTION 5 CONTROL FEATURES – ENGINE EXERCISERS
These ti mers periodically exercise the emergency engine-generator plant. They can be set to exercise with or without
load transfer, or they can be completelydisabled. The engine-generator should be exercised under load once a week for
a minimum time period of 20 minutes, or follow the recommendations of the e ngine-generator set manufacturer. Refer
to page 4–2 for location of DIP switches, battery (provided), and jumper block in the controller.
BUILT–IN ENGINE EXERCISER
The engineexerciser included in the Series 200 automatic
transfer switching device provides a once a week
20–minute exercise period. It occurs immediately
the SET ENGINE EXERCISER push button is pressed
(and held
for at least 5 seconds), and then at the same
time weekly thereafter. A 9 volt alkaline battery
(DuracellR MN1604, EverreadyR 522, or PanasonicR
6AM6) is furnished and installed in the controller to
maintain the setting. T he battery jumper block must
shifted to the ON position
. See Figure 4–2 on page 4–2.

INPHASE MONITOR
FOR MOTOR LOAD TRANSFER
Inphase monitoring logic controls transfer and retransfer
of motor loads, so that inrush currents do not exceed
normal starting currents. It avoids nuisance tripping of
circuit breakers and mechanical damage to motor
couplings.
The Motor Load Transfer feature is built into the
controller. DIP switch S1 (actuator 5) activates this
feature: right = ON, left = OFF.

LOAD DISCONNECT FEATURE
Connect external circuits to the terminals indicated on
the Wiring Diagram provided with the ATSE.
The double throw (Form C) contact is rated for 28 VDC
or 120 VAC (5 amps resistive). The contact operates prior
to a selectable 0, 3, 10, or 20 second delay before transfer
of the automatic transfer switching device. The contact
resets either immediately following transfer or after the
same
delay as set for pre–signal before transfer.
Time delay between the load disconnect control signal
and initiation of transfer i s set on the controller with DIP
