SECTION 3 BYPASSING & ISOLATING
3 --- 1
BYPASSING THE ATS*
This procedure explains how to Bypass the closed
automatic transfer switch contacts. Bypassing is
required before the ATS can be tested or isolated. The
Bypass Handle must be in the OPEN position (green
indicator) and the Isolation Handle must be in the
CLOSED position (window). See Figures 3–1, 3–2, and
3–3.
You can only bypass to the same source
that the Transfer Switch is connected.
Solenoid interlock prevents incorrect operation.

on (Normal or Emergency) on the door. This is the
position of the automatic transfer switch.
