automatically transfers back and initiates generator shutdown.
In the event the Source 1 power source fails and the Source 2
power source does not appear, the ATS remains connected to
the Source 1 power source until the Source 2 power source does
appear. Conversely, if connected to the Source 2 power source
and the Source 2 power source fails while the Source 1 power
source is still unavailable, the ATS remains connected to the
Source 2 power source. In this switch, a breaker and neutral/
ground bond is included.

4.2 Mounting Location

Choose a location that offers a flat, rigid mounting surface capa-
ble of supporting the weight of the enclosed ATS equipment. For
standard ATSs, avoid locations that are moist, hot, or dusty.
However, Eaton offers optional enclosure designs that can be
used in special environments. If there are any doubts as to a
location’s suitability, discuss them with your Eaton representa-
tive.
Check to make certain that there are no pipes, wires, or other
mounting hazards in the immediate mounting area that could cre-
ate a problem.
Carefully remove all packing material from the ATS at the mount-
ing location. Even though an equipment inspection should have
been made when the equipment was received, make another
careful inspection of the enclosure and the enclosed ATS compo-
nents as the packing material is removed and the enclosure read-
ied for mounting. Be especially alert for distorted metal, loose
wires, or damaged components.

4.7 Voltage Selection Adjustments

Certain devices, such as the Voltage Selection Panel, sensing
relays, and timers, need to be set and/or calibrated prior to plac-
ing the ATS equipment in service. Adjustments for logic devices
are described in the separate instructional document dedicated to
the specific logic being used. Voltage selection adjustments are
described in this section.
CAUTION
BE SURE THAT THE CORRECT VOLTAGE IS SELECTED TO MATCH
THE SYSTEM VOLTAGE. AN IMPROPER SELECTION AND/OR CON-
NECTION COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
4.7.1 Voltage Selection Panel 60 Hz)

The North American market voltage selection panel consists of
multi-tap transformers, contained in a steel case mounted in the
transfer switch enclosure (Figure 12). The cover has two connec-
tors on it, with the one on the right being selectable depending
on the voltage applied to S1 and S2. The transformer unit is eas-
ily removed by removing the two front screws and disconnecting
the two plugs. The rear of the transformer enclosure has two
flanges that are inserted into two slots. The voltage is selected
by simply removing the plug from the default selected voltage on
the cover plate and installing the plug to the desired available
voltage. Plugs are provided for 120 to 480 Vac (or up to 600V)
to satisfy any required North American market application volt-
age. The factory default position is 480 Vac. There is a similar
selection panel for international voltages (220, 230, 380, & 415
volts 60 Hz).
DANGER
Figure 12. North American Market Voltage Selection Terminals.
WHEN CHANGING THE VOLTAGE SELECTION, THE POWER MUST BE
REMOVED FROM THE TRANSFER SWITCH. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT
NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT ON EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICING.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD LEAD TO DEATH OR
SEVERE INJURY. WHILE ENERGIZED, AN ARC FLASH AND SHOCK

A basic problem-solving effort is the first step to take prior to
calling for assistance. Frequently, the effort will successfully
address most problems encountered. The problem solving proce-
dure is presented in the Troubleshooting Guide (Table 6, Section
6 of ATC-900 Controller Instruction Booklet). Assure that the TRIP BUTTON
settings in the controller are correct especially the voltage sup-
plied settings. Remember, only qualified individuals familiar with
the ATS equipment and the system in which it is applied should
attempt these problem solving procedures. This includes wear-
ing the correct PPE for the job.
If a problem persists after having completed the problem solving
procedure, contact a Eaton representative for further assis-
tance. When calling for assistance, the following is the minimum
information required to properly address the need:
1. Style number of ATS, if applicable;
2. Catalog number of ATS;
3. Actual location of the ATS (type of facility, address, etc.);
4. Company name and name and position of individual repre-

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES IN AND AROUND ATS EQUIPMENT

NEXT HIGHEST DISCONNECT DEVICE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
PROCEDURE COULD CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
No Adjustments are required. DEATH.
In general, ATS switch equipment is designed to be relatively

maintenance free under normal usage. However, because of the
variability of application conditions and the importance placed on
dependable operation by this type of equipment, inspection and
maintenance checks should be made on a regularly scheduled
basis. Since equipment maintenance will consist mainly of keep-
ing the equipment clean, the frequency of maintenance will
depend to a large extent on the cleanliness of the equipment’s
surroundings. If a significant amount of dust or foreign matter is
present, a more frequent maintenance schedule should be fol-
lowed.
It is suggested that visual inspections of the equipment be made
on a regular basis, not just during scheduled periods. Always be
alert for an accumulation of dirt in and around the structure; loose
parts; and/or hardware, cracks, and/or discoloration to insulation;
and damaged or discolored components.
8.2 Procedures
A suggested maintenance procedure is outlined in Table 5.
Table 5. Periodic Maintenance Procedures
STEP ACTION
a. Make the ATS equipment safe for inspection and/or maintenance. Disconnect the line power from equipment being serviced by opening the next highest disconnect device. Make
certain that any accessory control power is switched off by disconnecting all control plugs. Understand what
service entrance breakers are part of the switch.
b. Inspect the structure area for safety hazards or potential maintenance problems. Inspect the area, especially where switching device is installed, for any safety hazards, including personnel
safety and fire hazards. Exposure to certain chemical vapors can cause deterioration of electrical connections.
Inspect for accumulated dirt, loose hardware, or physical damage.
Examine the primary insulation for evidence of cracking or overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration,
melting, or blistering of conductor insulation, or as pitting or melting of conductor surfaces due to arcing.
Inspect the secondary control connections for damage and the control wiring for insulation integrity.
c. Inspect the power contactor for dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, or corrosion. Remove dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, and corrosion contamination from the surface of the switching device
using a dry soft lint-free cloth, dry soft bristle brush, and vacuum cleaner. Do not blow debris into the power
contactor. If contamination is found, look for the source and fix the problem.
d. Check for material integrity, uneven wear, discoloration, or loose hardware. Severe material cracking will require replacement and loose hardware will need to be tightened.
e. Check the terminals and connectors for looseness or signs of overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration, melting, or blistering of the conductor insulation.
Connections that do not have signs of looseness or overheating should not be disturbed.
f. Contact Inspection Procedure Remove all the screws on the molded cover over the power assembly. Inspect the contacts. Contact Eaton if the
contacts have excessive wear. Reinstall the molded cover and tighten screws to 17 in-lbs.
g. Exercise the power contactor if it is not often exercised while in operation. If the power contactor is used for frequent switching during normal operation or monthly testing, this step can
This will permit a “wiping” action by the contacts. be disregarded.
h. Return the ATS equipment to service. Make certain all barriers are in place and doors closed. Reapply secondary and primary power.
i. Exercise the Breaker and the Switch. If the switch is not exercised including the breaker, use the three position switch on the front to exercise the
breaker and the contactor.
Note: The Load power will be removed.
