MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER
This procedure will manually transfer the load if the
Controller is disconnected.
Do not manually operate the transfer switch
until both power sources are disconnected:
open both circuit breakers.
1. Open normal and emergencysource circuit breakers.
2. Use manual handle to manually operate transfer
switch to the opposite source. Remove the handle.
See Section 1, Manual Operation.
3. If the transfer switch is in the Emergency position
manually start the engine generator and then close
the emergency source circuit breaker.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Note the Control Featuresthat areactivated orfurnished
on the switch and review their operation. Refer to
Section 5, Optional Features.
Proceed with care! The ASCO 386 is energized.

Transfer switch does not
transfer the load to the
emergency source.
Turn Transfer Control switch clockwise to
Transfer to Emergency position.
Generator ouput c ircuit breaker must be
closed. Voltmeter should read at least 90%
of nominal phase t o phase voltage between
transfer switch terminals EA and EC
(or EL1 and EL2 for 2 pole switches). *
Generator frequency must be at least 57 Hz. *
* These are factory settings.
Transfer switch does not
transfer the load to the normal
source.
Turn Transfer Control switch counterclock-
wise to Transfer to Normal position.
Voltmeter should read at least 90% of nominal
phase to phase voltage between transfer switch
terminals NB and NC, NC and NA,
and NA and NB (or NL1 and NL2 for 2 pole
switches).
Trouble-Shooting Motor Load Transfer (Optional Feature 27) (refer to page 5-1)
Use extreme caution when using a m eter to
measure voltages in the following steps. Do not
touch power termi nal s; sh ock, b ur ns, or death
could result !
1. Connect a voltmeter (set for twice system
phase-to-phase voltage) between Transfer Switch
terminals NA and EA.
2. Manually start generator. Voltmeter needle should
sweep back and forth at a regular rate between 0
and about twice system voltage.
3. Turn the TRANSFER TO EMERGENCY control
switch clockwise. The load should transfer to
emergency source when meter needle is near 0
volts. If transfer does not occur, the Motor Load
Transfer accessory is not operating.
4. Turn the T RANSFER TO NORMAL control
switch counterclockwise. The load should
retransfer back to the normal source when the
needle is near 0 volts. If retransfer does not occur
after the time delay, the Motor Load Transfer
accessory is not operating.
5. Disconnect the voltmeter.
If the problem is isolated to circuits on the controller or the transfer switch, call your local ASCO Power
Technologies sales office or ASI. In the Unit ed State s, call 1–800–800–2726. Furnish the Seri al No., Bi ll of
Materi al (BOM) No., & Cat alog No. from transfer swit ch nameplate .
