System Setup
You must perform the following before operating the system:
• Ifgeneratorisinstalledinanarearegularlysubjected
to temperatures below 40°F (4°C), select a 50 second
warm up time by moving jumper JP2 (C) installed
on transfer switch control board from ‘20’ position to
‘50’ position.
• SettheDPSW1(A) and DPSW2 (B) dipswitches
on the transfer switch control board to match the
kW rating of the standby generator, as described in
Setting Dipswitches.
Setting Dipswitches
Dipswitches are used to adjust control board operation
based on generator capacity. DPSW1 and DPSW2 switches
are set to correspond to total system kW rating. Dipswitch
DPSW1 (A) has units of 1,000 watts; Dipswitch DPSW2 (B)
has units of
10,000 watts.
Set dipswitches with utility and generator power removed
from the transfer switch to ensure proper control system
operation. If dipswitches are set when power is present at
transfer switch, a power reset needs to be performed before
the new dipswitch settings will take effect. Power reset is
when all power is removed from the transfer switch and then
reintroduced after 30 seconds.
NOTICE An FC_8 will occur on standby generator control
board if dipswitches are not properly established as noted
above.
The “On” position for the dipswitches is the switch number ON
THE TRANSFER SWITCH CONTROL BOARD, not on the
switch. For example, for an 18,000 watt generator, set DPSW2
dipswitch 10 to “On” position. Set DPSW1 dipswitch 8 to “On”
position. 10,000 plus 8000 equals 18,000 watts.
Set only one
switch to “On” position on DPSW1 and DPSW2.
Refer to following chart for proper switch selection(s).
NOTICE
Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in
less available engine power. Specifically, engine power will
decrease 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea
level and 1% for each 10° F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C).
Generators located in these conditions must have the transfer
switch programmed appropriately for this power decrease.
NOTICE Use extreme caution when setting dipswitches or
damage to control board will result.
• Use a pencil or small piece of plastic to set the dipswitch.
• NEVER use a screwdriver or any type of metal object to
set dipswitches.
