SECTION 1
Series 300 Automatic Transfer Switches are factory
wired and tested. Installation requires skid removal
then securing the enclosure to the supporting
foundation.

NOTICE
Mounting
Refer to the applicable enclosure outline drawing
furnished with this switch and mount the Series 300
according to details and instructions shown on diagram.
Line Connections
Controller Ground
Harnesses
The transfer switch is connected to the left side of the
controller by a plugin harness (two plugs).

INSTALLATION (continued)
Engine Starting Contacts
Customer connections for engine control contact and
TS auxiliary contacts connections are located on
terminal block TB which is mounted on the front lower
left of the transfer switch. Refer to wiring diagram
provided with the Series 300 ATS and connect the
engine start wires to the appropriate terminals. See
Figure 11 and Table A.

Functional Test
The Functional Test consists of three checks: manual
operation, voltage checks, and electrical operation.
NOTICE
Do these checks in the order presented to avoid
damaging the automatic transfer switch.
Read all instructions on the Wiring Diagram and labels
affixed to the automatic transfer switch. Note the
control features that are provided and review their
operation before proceeding.

3 Electrical Operation
This procedure will check the electrical opertion of the
Automatic Transfer Switch. See Figure 16.
Transfer Test
Both normal and emergency sources must be available
and the emergency source generator (if used) must be
capable of being started in this procedure.
