Introduction
GE Zenith Transfer Switches are used to provide a continuous source of power for lighting and other critical loads by auto­matically transferring from source 1 power to source 2 power in the event that source 1 voltage falls below preset limits.
Voltage sensing and system control is performed via a state-of-the-art microcontroller located on the cabinet door. It is designed to give highly accurate control of the transfer switch system.
All GE Zenith transfer switches are designed for use on emergency or standby systems, and are rated for total system or motor loads. Transfer switches are UL Listed under Standard 1008 and CSA Certified under Standard C22.2 No. 178 and IEC Listed under Standard 947.
NOTES: A protective device such as a molded case circuit breaker or fused
disconnect switch MUST
be installed on both sources of incoming
power for circuit protection and as a disconnection device. All references made within this manual about the term “S1” or
“Source 1” relate to a Normal Power Source. All references made about the term “S2” or “Source 2” relate to an Emergency or Alternative Power Source.

Mounting
Adequate lifting means must be used to mount the transfer switch into place. The recommended method for moving the transfer switch using the lifting eyes, where supplied, and a spreader bar is illustrated in Figure 1. Enough room should be allowed to open the cabinet doors fully for inspection and servicing of the switch per NEC and local codes.
Safety / Installation
DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
(Can Cause Severe Injury or Death)
Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components.
The safe operation of your switch is GE
Zenith’s focus. The proper storage, installation, operation and mainte­nance will help increase the life of the switch.
Equipment Inspection and Storage
Once you have received the transfer switch, inspect it for any damage. This includes damage to the enclosure, power panel, control panel and wiring harness. If any damage is found or suspected, file a claim as soon as possible with the carrier and notify the nearest
GE
Zenith representative.
Before installation, if it is necessary, store the transfer switch in a clean dry place, protected from dirt and water. Provide ample air circulation and heat, if neces­sary, to prevent condensation.

1. Remove any debris incurred, with a vacuum, due to shipment or installation.
WARNING
Do not use a blower since debris may
become lodged in the electrical and
mechanical components and cause damage.
2. Verify that all cabled connections are correct and that phase rotation of both sources match.
3. Check engine start connections.
4. Verify the correct connection of all control wires.
5. Check settings of all timers and adjust as necessary.
6. Adjust any optional accessories as required.
7. Check the lug torque values of the power connections.
NOTE
: Lug torque values are specified
in table 2 on pg.4.
8. Make sure that all covers and barriers are installed and properly fastened.
NOTE
: Power panels ship from GE Zenith
in Source 1 Position.
CAUTION
Before drilling conduit entry holes or any
accessory mounting holes, cover and protect
the switch and control panel to prevent dirt
and metal fragments from entering the mechanical and electrical components.

Under voltage sensing of Source 2 for single-phase. (R17 replaces R2E for Utility to Utility switches)
R50
In Phase Monitor this feature restricts Live to Live Source Transfers to occur unless both Sources are within
7 electrical degrees or less of each other. (live Source to live Source transfers usually occur during transfer back to Source 1 or during Testing). R50 does not change the operation of the Automatic Transfer Switch in a power failure mode. After all timer functions have elapsed, the CHECKING FOR SOURCE SYNCHRO- NISM will be displayed as well as the direction of transfer (S1-S2 for example denotes transfer from Source 1 to Source2). When synchronism is accomplished, transfer will take place.
Notes: - If S2 Frequency is less than S1 Frequency,
display will show a series of (- - - - -…..) symbols.
- If S2 Frequency is greater than S1 Frequency, display will show a series of (+++++…..) symbols.
- Each (-) or (+) symbol represents 10 electrical degrees out of phase. A maximum of 18 symbols (180 electrical degrees) can be monitored.
- The number of (-) or (+) symbols decrease as the two sources approach synchronism and increase as the two sources drift out of synchronism.
- If S1 and S2 Frequencies are identical, the display will show a series of alternating
- - - -
symbols (++++…) which also indicate the approximate out of phase degrees
In the event that the Sources do not come within 7 electrical degrees of each other within 60 seconds, the unit will display the message: SYNCH CHECKING and will allow the user to BYPASS. If the BYPASS button is pressed, the unit will display the message: WARNING MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LOAD. Pressing XFR will actually bypass the R50. Since R50 is a passive device, the length of time it takes to reach Synchronism is de­pendent on the frequency difference between the two Sources. Source 1 is usually a Utility and the frequency is not within the control of the consumer. Source 2 needs to be adjusted to create an adequate difference in order for the transfer to happen a timely fashion.
Note: For optimum performance, Source 2
Generator should be adjusted a Maximum of 2 Hertz above or below the Utility frequency, minimum of 0.1 Hertz. (58 to 59.9) or (60.1 to 62) Hertz. Adjustment of Generator to 60Hertz could cause lengthy transfer delay
.
R50 Feature can be turned ON or OFF via CFG Menu (see page 17). Factory Default if OFF.
S13
Transfer Commit. Configured via CFG menu. (see page 17) When this Feature is set to OFF: The transfer Switch is not committed to transfer unless the outage duration is longer than the timers that precede the transfer to Source 2 position. This assumes that the outage will be an isolated event. When this Feature is set to ON: The transfer Switch is committed to transfer to Source 2 position once the W timer has begun timing, even if Source 1 power returns before the transfer to Source 2. This is to ensure that the transfer takes place, because one outage may be followed by another.
T
Time Delay (S1) Source 1 Stable Timer. To delay trans­fer to Source 1 (immediate retransfer on Source 2 fail­ure). Adjustable 0-60 minutes in 1 second increments. Standard setting is 30 minutes. Adjust via SET menu (see page 18)

A manual CANCEL button is provided to cancel the test if desired Upon completion of the (P) time delay, an Engine start Signal is sent to Source 2. When Source 2 voltage and frequency reach the preset "Restore" values, the time delay to open Source 1 timer (W) begins its timing cycle to ensure voltage and frequency sta­bilization before re-transfer. A manual pushbutton BYPASS is provided to bypass the "W" time delay if desired. After the (W) time delay, the MX controller initiates a transfer signal through the SCR-NO to operate the main transfer operator. The load is now transferred to the Open position. The time delay to Source 2 timer (DW) begins its timing cycle. After the (DW) time delay, the MX controller initiates a transfer signal through the SCR-E to operate the main transfer operator. The load is now trans­ferred to Source 2 line. The transfer switch is mechanically locked. SN limit switch awaits the next operation to Source 1.

Testing
NOTICE
A periodic test of the transfer switch under load conditions is recommended to insure proper operation.
(See National Electric Code articles 700 and 701)
ATS Testing
Start generator and verify proper voltage, frequency and phase sequence (match to Source 1). Shut down gen set and place in Auto. Complete the visual inspection of the transfer switch, and close the cabinet door.
Initiate the test by pressing the TEST button on the LCD keypad. The controller will then prompt for your access code. After entering the code, three test options will appear— XFR LOAD, FAST TEST and NO XFR (See Figure 10).
• XFR LOAD test starts the generator and using the
current timer settings, transfers the load to Source 2.
• FAST TEST test presets timer values to a maximum
30 seconds during the test. After completion of the test, all timers are reset to their original values. (T3, W3, DT and DW remain)
• NO XFR test starts the generator but does not
transfer the load to the Source 2.
Press and hold the desired test option button until the switch transfers to Source 2 (load test) or until the generator has been run for the desired amount of time (no load test). Releasing the test button before W timer timeout will abort the test (Exception: when the transfer commit option, is configured “ON”).
To test lamps, press TEST then scroll through MORE, then press LAMP TEST. To cancel LAMP TEST press MORE.

Standard and Delay Transition
Each MX150 microprocessor based ATS controller requires a Controls Power Supply (CPS) to apply line voltage to the ATS operator via SCRs. Also required is power for the MX150 printed circuit board and an application of sensing voltage proportional to line voltage.
Controls Power Supply (CPS)
This is accomplished by the Controls Power Supply (CPS). This method of switching operator voltage and applying power and sensing voltage to the printed circuit board isolates the MX150 from the line voltage, further protecting the controller from harmful line transients.

ZTG/ZTGD Operation and Maintenance Manual (70R-1000D)
Maintenance and Testing
A preventive maintenance program will insure high reliability and long life for the transfer switch. The preventive maintenance program for the transfer switch should include the following items:
Inspection and Cleaning
The switch should be inspected for any accumulation of dust, dirt, or moisture, and should be cleaned by vacuuming or wiping with a dry cloth or soft brush. do not use a blower since debris may become lodged in the electrical and mechanical components and cause damage.
Remove the transfer switch barriers and check the condition of the contacts. Any surface deposits must be removed with a clean cloth (do not use emery cloth or a file). If the contacts are pitted or worn excessively, they should be replaced. A general inspection of mechanical integrity should be made to include loose, broken or badly worn parts.
Servicing
All worn or inoperative parts must be replaced using GE Zenith recommended replacement parts. Please refer to the Replacement Parts manual for specific part information and ordering procedures. Please contact the GE Zenith Technical Services Department for the Replacement Parts manual.
The operating mechanism of the transfer switch is lubricated with Lubriplate 105. The lubricant applied at the factory provides adequate lubrication for the lifetime of the switch. Should debris contaminate the mechanism, clean and apply additional Lubriplate.
GE Zenith can provide complete preventative main­tenance services. Please contact the GE Zenith Technical Services Department for additional information.
CDT battery replacement - lithium batteries may last up to 10 years, however it is recommended that battery replacement be included in a 3-5 year service cycle. The battery maintains the exerceser memory only and does not otherwise affect the operation.
Testing
A manual operator handle is provided with the transfer switch for maintenance purposes only. Manual operation of the switch must be checked before it is operated electrically. Both power sources
must be disconnected before manual operation of the switch.
Insert the handle and operate the transfer switch between the Source 1 and Source 2 positions. The transfer switch should operate smoothly without binding. Return the switch to Source 1 position, remove the handle, and return it to the holder provided.
After completing the inspection, cleaning and servicing of the transfer switch, reinstall the switch cover, and close and lock the cabinet door. Reclose the circuit breakers feeding the utility and generator sources to the switch.
Initiate the electrical transfer test by activating the TS test switch. P timer will time out and the micro­controller will send an engine start signal. When the W time has elapsed, the switch will complete its transfer by closing into Source 2.
Deactivating the test switch will start retransfer to Source 1. The switch will complete its retransfer to Source 1 after the time delay of the T timer. The U engine overrun timer allows the engine generator to run unloaded for a preset cool down period.
NOTE: A periodic test of the transfer switch
under load conditions is recommended to insure proper operation. (See National Electric Code articles 700 and 701).
CAUTION
Due to hazardous voltage and current,
GE Zenith
recommends that a
GE Zenith Certified technician
or a qualified electrician must perform the
installation and maintenance of the switch.
WARNING
Both power sources must be disconnected
before manual operation of the switch.
WARNING
When performing a hi-pot or dielectric test
on the power section, DISCONNECT
the
control panel plugs from the microprocessor
to avoid potential damage.
