SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
The ASCO 7000 Series Automatic Transfer & Bypass– Isolation Switch (ATB) consists of an upper bypass–isola­tion switch, a transfer switch, a monitoring and transfer controller, and door–mounted controls. The ATB is factory wired and tested. Installation requires removal of the shipping skid then securing the enclosure to the supporting foundation.
Remove the Transfer Switch
The Transfer Switch is shi pped inside the enclosure (ATS side) in the fully engaged position. Before installing the enclosure remove the Transfer Switch as follows:
1. Open the enclosure doors and install the two ramps (stored on right side).
2. Remove the Isolation Handle which is stored on the lower right front of the Transfer Switch carriage frame. Install the Isolation Handle onto the protruding shaft and turn it counterclockwise (approximately 10 turns) until it stops
3. Unplug J2 and J5 harness plugs, and roll out the Transfer Switch. Cover i t to keep it clean.
.
Supporting Foundation
The supporting foundation and adjacent area must be level and straight, otherwise the Transfer Switch and enclosure may not align causing door problems. The floor under the enclosure must be flat and level. This is very important! The structure of the enclosure must be straightand square. Allowat least 36 inches for roll out of Transfer Switch. Refer to the enclosure drawing for required door opening space.
Mounting
Refer to the enclosure outline drawing furnished with this switch and mount the 7000 Series ATB according to the details and instructions shown on the drawing.
Bolt the cubiclesections together so that they are linedup on the f ront faces. See Figure 1–1.
De–energize the conductors before making any
line or auxiliary circuitry connections. Be sure
that Normal and Emergency line connections are in proper phase rotation. Place engine gen­erator starting control in the OFF position. Make
sure engine generator is not in operation.
Testing Power Conductors
Do not connect the power conductors to the ATB until they are tested. Installing power cables in conduit, cable troughs, and ceiling-suspended hangers often requires considerable force. The pulling of cables can damage insulation and stretch or break the conductor’s strands. For this rea son, after the cables are pulled into position, and before they are connected they should be tested to verify that they are not defective or have been damaged during installation.
!
Protect the switch from construction grit
and metal chips to prevent malfunction or
shortened life for the ATB switch.
If bottom cable entry is used, the foundation must be pre­pared so that conduit stubs are located correctly. Refer to appropriate enclosure outline drawing for specified cable entrance area and location. Provide cable bending space and clearance to live metal parts.When a concrete floor is poured, use interlocking conduit spacer caps or a wood or metal template to maintain proper conduit alignment.
1--1
INSTALLATION (continued)
Connecting Power Conductors
A Wiring Diagram is furnished with the ATB. All wiring must be made in accordance with the local codes. After the power cables have been tested, connect them to the appropriate terminal lugs on the Bypass Switch as shown on the wiring diagram provided with this ATB. Make sure that the lugs provided are suitable for use with the cables being installed. Standard terminal lugs are solderless screw type and will accept the wire sizes listed on the drawings provided with the ATB. Be careful when stripping insulation from conductors; avoid nicking or ringing the conductor. Remove surface oxides from conductors by cleaning with a wire brush. Follow conductor manufacturer’s instructions when aluminum conductor is used. Apply joint compound to conductor, then carefully wipe away excess compound. Tighten the cable lugs to the torque specified on the rating label.
!
Be sure that the Normal and Emergency power
connections are in proper phase rotation.
Bus Connections
If bus connection is used, use SAE grade 5 hardware to connect bus to appropriate terminal plates on bypass switching device. Wipe off bus surfaces before they are joined. If bus is dirty, gently clean surfaces with a non-flammablesolvent. Avoidtouching cleaned surfaces.
!
Do not breathe cleaning solvent vapors.
UseSAEgrade5hardwareandtightentheboltedjoints tothetorquespecifiedinTable2-1.
!
The reliability of the connection depends
on how clean and how tight the joint is.

Harnesses
All internal connections are made at the factory. The bypass switch, transfer switch, and control panel are joined together by an interconnecting wire harness. The disconnect plugs are already engaged on enclosed switches. For open–type switches, the plugs must be engaged after installation is completed. Align harness plugs with sockets in the control and push them together until they are secure.
Engine Starting Contacts
and Auxiliary Circuits
The engine control contact signal connections and auxiliary circuits are located on terminal block TB as shownontheWiring Diagram provided with the ATB. Connect the signal wires to the appropriate terminals.

INSTALLATION (continued)
Install the Transfer Switch
After the enclosure is installed and power cables or bus connected to the Bypass Switch, the Transfer Switch carriagecanberolledin. Thefloorofthecabinetmustbe free of debris and clean. If necessary, use a vacuumcleaner. Make a thorough inspection to be sure no tools are left inside. The Bypass Handle must be in the BYPASS POS position (closed on normal). The Isolation Handle (draw­outcrank)mustbefullycounterclockwiseagainststop.
Do not apply any electrical power to the ATB yet.
It is not necessary to remove the barriers from the bypass switch and transfer switch. If you do remove them, however, reinstall them carefully.
NOTE: Be sure to roll the correct Transfer Switch into the enclosure. If more than one is supplied, each will be labeled above the solenoid operator.
The Transfer Switch NORMAL contacts must be closed. If not, use the manual operator handle (maintenance handle stored on lower carriage) to manually operate the switch. See Figure 1–10. Check that all arc chutes and interphase barriers are in place on the Transfer Switch. Then grasp the Transfer Switch carriage frame and roll it into the cabinet (isolation contacts facing inward). Align the rollersbetween the floor guides and push the carriage in until its crank pins engage the latch plates on both sides. Then follow the procedure below:

NOTE: Solenoid lock SL1 on the Isolation shaft inhibits operation of the drawout(Isola­tion contacts) unless the Transfer Switch and Bypass Switch are in compatible positions. This solenoid must energize to unlock. Be­cause all power sources are de-energized, the interference tag defeats the solenoid in the following inspections.
Do the three inspections on page 1-4 without any electrical power connected. The inspections will verify that the isolation contacts are in proper alignment. If necessary, add shims under the floor. It may be helpful to remove the the right side of the enclosure to expose the isolation contacts during the inspections.
