Section 1 Product Description
1.1 Purpose
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) transfers electrical loads from a normal (preferred) source of electrical power to an emergency (standby) source when the normal source falls outside the acceptable electrical parameters.
When the normal (preferred) source fails, the ATS signals the emergency (standby) source generator set to start. When the emergency (standby) source reaches acceptable levels and stabilizes, the ATS transfers the load from the normal (preferred) source to the emergency (standby) source. The AT S continuously monitors the normal (preferred) source and transfers the load back when the normal (preferred) source returns and stabilizes. After transferring the load back to the normal (preferred) source, the ATS removes the generator start signal, allowing the generator set to shut down.
Figure 1-2 shows a typical installation block diagram.

2.7 Electrical Wiring
All internal electrical connections are factory-wired and tested. Field installation includes connecting the sources, loads, generator start circuit(s), and auxiliary circuits, if used.
Note: 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 use as a disconnect device.
Refer to the wiring diagrams provided with the transfer switch. Observe all applicable national, state, and local electrical codes during installation.
Install DC, control, and communication system wiring in separate conduit from AC power wiring.
It is not necessary to remove pole covers from the transfer switch for cabling. If you do remove them, reinstall them carefully.
WARNING
Accidental starting. Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the battery cables before working on the generator set. Remove the negative (- ) lead first when disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the negative (- ) lead last when reconnecting the battery.
Servicing the transfer switch. Hazardous voltage will cause severe injury or death. Deenergize all power sources
before servicing. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all transfer switch power sources and disable all generator sets as follows: (1) Press the generator set off/reset button to shut down the generator set. (2) Disconnect power to all battery chargers. (3) Disconnect all battery cables, negative (- ) leads first. Reconnect negative (- ) leads last when reconnecting the battery cables after servicing. Follow these precautions to prevent the starting of generator sets by an automatic transfer switch, remote start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote computer. Before servicing any components inside the enclosure: (1) Remove all jewelry. (2) Stand on a dry,approved electrically insulated mat. (3) Test circuits with a voltmeter to verify that they are deenergized.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage. Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before opening the enclosure.
Making line or auxiliary connections. Hazardous voltage will cause severe injury or death. To prevent electrical
shock deenergize the normal powersource before making any line or auxiliary connections.
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage will cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible
whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all applicable codes and standards. Electrically ground the generator set and related equipment and electrical circuits. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment. Never contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground because these conditions increase the risk of electrocution.
NOTICE
Foreign material contamination. Cover the transfer switch
during installation to keep dirt, grit, metal drill chips, and other debris out of the components. Cover the solenoid mechanism during installation. Afterinstallation, use the manual operating handle to cycle the contactor to verify that it operates freely. Do not use a screwdriver to force the contactor mechanism.
2.7.1 Source and Load Connections
Determine the cable size. Refer to the transfer switch
dimension drawing to determine the cable size and number of cables required for the transfer switch. Make sure that the cables are suitable for use with the transfer switch lugs. Watertight conduit hubs may be required for outdoor use.
Drill the entry holes. Cover the transfer switch to protect it from metal chips and construction grit. Then drill entry holes for the conductors at the locations shown on the enclosure drawings. Remove debris from the enclosure with a vacuum cleaner.
Note: Do not use compressed air to clean the switch.
Cleaning with compressed air can cause debris to lodge in the components and damage the switch.
TP-7191 4/21 21Section 2 Installation
Install and test the power cables. Leave sufficient slack in the power leads to reach all of the power connecting lugs on the power switching device. Test the power conductors before connecting them to the transfer switch. Installing power cables in conduit, cable troughs and ceiling-suspended hangers often requires considerable force. Pulling cables can damage insulation and stretch or break the conductor’s strands.
Test the cables after pulling them into position and before they are connected to verify that they are not defective and that they were not damaged during installation.
Install the cable spacers provided with 150- 230 amp switches as shown in Figure 2-12.

Ethernet Port. The ethernet port is a standard RJ-45 jack. See Figure 3-5 for the location of the Ethernet port. Use Category 5e or better cable to connect the controller to the building’s network.
Use the controller’s Setup menus or a personal computer connected to the controller’s USB port and Kohler SiteTech software to set the communication parameters. The Ethernet communication board may have a default IP address assigned at the factory for test purposes. See Figure 3-6. Change the IP address to an address owned by the user. See the controller operation manual for instructions to set the communication parameters.
The transfer switch controller does not operate as a Modbus-to-Ethernet converter for other devices in a network. For multiple device networks connected to the personal computer through the Ethernet, use a Modbus-to-Ethernet converter for the other devices in the network. See Figure 3-7 and instruction sheet TT-1405, provided with the converter, for connection instructions.
The controller can communicate with up to five (5) simultaneous TCP/IP (ethernet) connections. These five connections do not include the RS-485 serial port. In the extreme case, five users may be communicating with the controller via TCP/IP network connections and another may be communicating through the serial port, for a total of six (6) communication channels. As the controller is asked to communicate with more and more outside devices, the communication will slow down.

3.3.3 External Battery Supply Module (EBSM)
LEDs on the module circuit board light to indicate that each input or output is active.
Note: Each I/O module must have unique address.
Use the address DIP switches on the I/O module to assign a unique (different) address to each module as shown in Figure 3-15. Assign addresses in order from 1 to 4. An LED for each DIP switch lights to indicate that theswitchisclosed.
The alarm module’s fixed address is 5. The battery module’s fixed address is 6.
See the controller operation manual for instructions to assign functions to each input and output. Inputs and outputs can also be assigned using a personal computer with Kohlerr SiteTecht software or over Modbus. See TP-6701, SiteTech Operation Manual, or TP-6113, Modbus Protocol Manual.
INPUT 1
INPUT 2
The external battery supply module kit allows connection to the generator set engine start battery(ies) or other batteries to provide 12 VDC power to the ATS controller. The external battery supply module kit is required for the following applications:
D Systems using extended engine start time
delays. The EBSM provides power to the ATS controller during extended time delays longer than 15 seconds, when neither the Normal nor the Emergency source is available.
D Installations with frequent utility power outages.
The EBSM provides power to the ATS controller when neither source is available, preserving the controller’s backup battery.
D Transfer switches equipped with multiple
accessory modules that require a total of more than 300 mA current. SeeFigure3-8.
The EBSM produces 2 amps at 12 VDC with 9- 36 VDC input. The EBSM input is reverse-polarity protected. The EBSM outputs a low battery voltage signal when the external battery voltage falls below 11 VDC for a 12-volt system or 22 VDC for a 24-volt system. The module is showninFigure3-16.
