Preface
The Automatic Transfer Switch (hereafter referred to as ATS) uses world-famous ATS or AC Contactors as
the main switches, and are manufactured from advanced and closely-controlled production processes. It is
combined with all our automatic generators to form a complete and thorough Automatic Transfer System.
The DKG-173 Transfer Controller is installed inside the ATS, which applies to three phase or single phase
systems with phase voltage of 220v AC. Pluggable connectors are connected with external connections, which
make the maintenance, inspection, or replacement easy and convenient.
We have 125A single phase ATS, 125A three phase ATS, and 200A single phase ATS for your different needs in
various conditions.
Functions
ATS has control functions (such as generator start-up delay, mains restore delay and voltage
detection, etc.). When the ATS is connected to automatic generators, the generator's control
box will send the transfer signal in order to transfer loads automatically. It can operate with our automatic
control systems or other brands that have remote-start self-control functions which are simple and economic.

Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Read the following information carefully before attempting to install, operate
or service this equipment. Also read the instructions and information on all tags, decals, and labels that may
be affixed to the transfer switch. Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the generator,
DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special instructions about a
particular operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their
definitions are as follows:
DANGER
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied
with, will result in personal injury or property damage.
WARNING
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied
with, may result in personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied
with, could result in damage to equipment and/or property.

Important Safety Instructions
• Remove all jewelry (such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc.) before working on this equipment.
• If work must be done on this equipment while standing on metal or concrete, place insulative mats over a dry
wood platform. Work on this equipment only while standing on insulative mats.
• Keep the transfer switch enclosure door closed and bolted at all times. Only qualified personnel should be
permitted access to the switch interior.
Equipment Description
The automatic transfer switch is used for transferring electrical load from a UTILITY (NORMAL) power source
to an EMERGENCY (STANDBY) power source.
Mounting
• This model automatic transfer switch is designed for use only with Trane home standby generator sets.
• Install the transfer switch as close as possible to the electrical loads that are to be connected to it. Mount the
switch vertically to a rigid supporting structure.
• To prevent switch distortion, level all mounting points. If necessary, use washers behind mounting holes to
level the unit.
• Before connecting wiring cables to terminals, remove any surface oxides from the cable ends with a wire
brush. All power cables should enter the switch next to transfer mechanism terminals. If ALUMINUM
conductors are used, apply corrosion inhibitor to conductors.
• Tighten terminal lugs to the torque values as noted on the decal located on the inside of the door. After
tightening terminal lugs, carefully wipe away any excess corrosion inhibitor.

Operation Instructions
Automatic Mode
1. Move the control switch of the ATS Control Panel on the AUTO position, the control mode of the generator
is "AUTO".
2. When mains are on load, the indicators "Mains Available" and "Mains On Load" will light up.
3. When mains failure occurs or utility is abnormal, the generator will be controlled by the Control Box for
"Start-up Delay" automatic start.
4. When the generator has started and the voltage is normal, the "Generator Available" indicator lights up. If
the ATS automatically switches the generator on, and the "Generator On Load" indicator lights up.
5. When the utility is restored, the "Mains Available" indicator lights up. The ATS automatically transfers to the
mains side after the generator control box has sent the "Mains on Load" signal. The "Generator on Load" light
goes off and the "Mains on Load" indicator lights up.
6. When the ATS control box detects that generator voltage is normal, the "Generator Available" indicator
lights up. The ATS transfers to the generator side when the GCT time setting is set on conditions of "Generator
on Load".

DKG-173
DIN RAIL MOUNTED ATS CONTROLLER WITHOUT DC SUPPLY
DESCRIPTION
The DATAKOM model DKG -173 is a DIN Rail mounted ATS controller
not requiring DC supply.
The Front Panel LED provides information about mains and generator
power availability as well as contactor positions.
FEATURES
• DIN Rail mounted
• No DC supply required
• Adjustable MCB and GCB delays
• 10A/250V AC MCB and GCB outlets
• 10A/28V DC/250V AC remote start output
