ATC-900 Magnum Tranfer SwitchO&MManual
4.7 Control Wiring to Magnum Power Case Switch/
Breaker
Control connections to the magnum power case switch can be 
made to the terminal blocks mounted above each device.  The 
dead front needs to be removed first to gain access to the terminal 
locations. Typically the Source 1 (Normal) is the upper power 
device and Source 2 (Emergency) is the lower power device. The 
terminals are numbered the same for each one and also the same 
for fixed mounted or drawout designs.  An example of the auxil-
iary contacts is shown in typical drawing below.
4.8 Wiring
  
Power sources, load conductors, and control wiring should be 
connected to locations as indicated in the Customer Wiring Dia-
grams supplied with the transfer switch equipment.
4.8.1 Engine Start Connection
The engine control contact connections are located on the bottom 
area of the switch at a terminal block and are Red.  All customer 
connections are located there. The S2 generator start's terminal 
blocks are red in color
Note:  Prior to making the engine start connection to the switch on bypass 
isolation units, set the engine generator controls selector switch in the OFF 
position to prevent an unwanted engine start.  A contact closes between 
these terminal blocks when an engine start signal is provided by the ATS 
logic. 
4.8.2 ALARM CONTACTS (CLOSED TRANSITION ONLY)
Closed transition only ATSs are provided with an extra shunt trip 
on the Source 1 device. This shunt trip is energized when the 
Time Delay Utility Parallel (TDUP) times out (preset by user), thus 
opening the source device.  The TDUP timer starts timing when 
both sources are paralleled.  Refer to the IQ Transfer instruction 
book for additional alarms.
