Monarch SE 2004 - Transfer Switch

286 | Section 8 Electrical System ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Monarch SE 2004
NOTE: Three types of shore power outlets most commonly used are
shown in the illustration.
The transfer switch automatically transfers AC power from the
shore power cord or generator through the transfer switch to the
110/240 Volt AC breaker panel. When using the generator as the
power source, the transfer switch has a time delay built into it
before transferring power to the AC breaker panel. This allows the
generator time to warm up before applying an AC load. When
operating the generator while hooked to shore power, the transfer
switch automatically selects generator power as priority over shore
power.
NOTE: The shore cord is NOT electrically connected
to the generator. When the generator is operating,
the electrical contacts of the shore cord are not
electrically energized.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the transfer
switch contacts do not have appliances on or AC
loads plugged into outlets when hooking up to
shore power or starting the generator. The transfer
switch will begin to disengage at approximately
90 Volts AC. Operation at this voltage may damage
the transfer switch, appliances or other items
plugged into outlets. Start the generator and
disconnect from shore service until the shore
service supply voltage stabilizes.
