SECTION 1
Series 300 Automatic Transfer Switches are factory wired
and tested. Installation requires skid removal then
securing the enclosure to the supporting foundation.
INSTALLATION
Testing Power Conductors
Do not connect the power conductors to the ASCO
Series 300 transfer switch until they are tested. Installing
power cables in conduit, cable troughs and ceiling-suspended hangers often requires considerable force. The
pulling of cables can damage insulation and stretch or
break the conductors strands. For this reason, after the
cables are pulled into position, and before they are
connected, they should be tested to verify that they are
not defective or have been damaged during installation.
Supporting Foundation
The supporting foundation for the enclosure must be
level and straight. Refer to the applicable enclosure
outline drawing included with the Series 300 for all
mounting details including door opening space.
Refer to the applicable enclosure outline drawing furnished with this switch and mount the Series 300
according to details and instructions shown on diagram.

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.

INSTALLATION (continued)
Functional Test
The Functional Test consists of three checks: manual
operation, voltage checks, and electrical operation.
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.
Perform steps 1 through 8 at the right. Observe the status
lights.

Transfer To Emergency
The sequence for load transfer to
emergency source begins automatically when normal source voltage
falls below the preset dropout point
or when Transfer Test button is
pressed. An under voltage condition
on any phase of the normal source is
detected by the sensor.
SECTION 3
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Note the control features that are activated or furnished
on the switch and review their operation. Refer to Section
5, Control Features.
PROBLEM
Gen-Set does not start when
the Transfer Test button is
pressed and held for 15
seconds or when the normal
source fails.
3 VOLTAGE
If the problem is isolated to circuits on the controller or the transfer switch, call your local ASCO Power Technologies
sales office, representative, or ASI. In United States, call 18008002726 or email customercare@asco.com. In Canada,
call 18882342726. Furnish the Serial No., Bill of Material (BOM) No., & Catalog No. from transfer switch nameplate.
