This feature prevents Line Source to Line Source trans-  
fers from occurring between dissimilar phase sequences.  
This condition is primarily caused by an installation  
error. Connections from Source 1 and Source 2 need  
be verified, compared, and corrected to remedy the  
inconsistent phase rotation between the sources.  
WARNING: Turning off this feature can cause  
severe damage to loads.

In Phase Monitor this feature restricts Live to Live  
Source Transfers to occur unless both Sources are within  
7 electrical degrees or less of each other. (live Source to  
live Source transfers usually occur during transfer back  
to Source 1 or during Testing). R50 does not change  
the operation of the Automatic Transfer Switch in a  
power failure mode. After all timer functions have  
elapsed, the CHECKING FOR SOURCE SYNCHRO-  
NISM will be displayed as well as the direction of  
transfer (S1-S2 for example denotes transfer from  
Source 1 to Source2). When synchronism is accomplished,  
transfer will take place.  
Q2  
Remote Peak Shave or Area Protection Circuit.  
Energize Q2 to simulate Source 1 Line failure causing  
the Generator to start and transfer the load to Source 2.  
Should Emergency fail during this operation, Transfer  
Switch will retransfer back to Source 1.

Remote inhibit transfer to Source 2 circuit. Energize  
Q3 input to allow transfer to Source 2. To enable Q3  
option, engage Q3 jumper.

Notes: - If S2 Frequency is less than S1 Frequency,  
S13P  
display will show a series of (- - - - -…..) symbols.  
- If S2 Frequency is greater than S1 Frequency,  
display will show a series of (+++++…..) symbols.  
- Each (-) or (+) symbol represents 10 electrical  
degrees out of phase. A maximum of 18 symbols  
(180 electrical degrees) can be monitored.  
- The number of (-) or (+) symbols decrease  
as the two sources approach synchronism  
and increase as the two sources drift out  
of synchronism.  
Transfer Commit. Configured via CFG menu.  
(see page 17) When this Feature is set to OFF:  
The transfer Switch is not committed to transfer unless  
the outage duration is longer than the timers that  
precede the transfer to Source 2 position. This assumes  
that the outage will be an isolated event. When this  
Feature is set to ON: The transfer Switch is committed  
to transfer to Source 2 position once the W timer has  
begun timing, even if Source 1 power returns before  
the transfer to Source 2. This is to ensure that the  
transfer takes place, because one outage may be  
followed by another.  
- If S1 and S2 Frequencies are identical, the  
display will show a series of alternating  
- - - -  
symbols (++++…) which also indicate the  
S14  
approximate out of phase degrees  
Test / Auto / Source 1 Selector, Door mount  
In the event that the Sources do not come within 7  
electrical degrees of each other within 60 seconds, the  
unit will display the message: SYNCH CHECKING and  
will allow the user to BYPASS. If the BYPASS button is  
pressed, the unit will display the message: WARNING  
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LOAD. Pressing XFR  
will actually bypass the R50. Since R50 is a passive device,  
the length of time it takes to reach Synchronism is de-  
pendent on the frequency difference between the two  
Sources. Source 1 is usually a Utility and the frequency  
is not within the control of the consumer. Source 2  
needs to be adjusted to create an adequate difference  
in order for the transfer to happen a timely fashion.

Testing  
CAUTION  
Due to hazardous voltage and current, GE Zenith  
recommends that a GE Zenith Certified technician  
or a qualified electrician must perform the  
installation and maintenance of the switch.  
Test Options  
The ATS can be tested in either of two positions:  
1) “Auto Position”  
Full Transfer Test - This test checks the complete  
operation of the ATS by transferring the load’s  
power source from Source 1 to Source 2.  
2) “Test Position”  
WARNING  
Both power sources must be disconnected  
This procedure is recommended for Preventive  
Maintenance (PM) of ATS without interrupting the  
Load thru the BYPASS/ISOLATION SWITCH.  
before manual operation of the switch.  
NOTE: A periodic test of the transfer switch  
under load conditions is recommended  
to insure proper operation. (See National  
Electric Code articles 700 and 701).  
Introduction  
A manual operator handle is provided with the  
transfer switch for maintenance purposes only. Manual  
operation of the switch must be checked before it is  
operated electrically. Both power sources must be  
disconnected before manual operation of the  
switch. Insert the handle and operate the transfer  
switch between the Source 1 and Source 2 positions.  
The transfer switch should operate smoothly without  
binding. Return the switch to the Source 1 position,  
remove the handle, and return it to the holder provided.  
WARNING  
When performing a hi-pot or dielectric test  
on the power section, DISCONNECT the  
control panel plugs from the microprocessor  
to avoid potential damage.  
After completing the inspection, cleaning and servicing  
of the transfer switch, reinstall the switch cover, and  
close and lock the cabinet door. Reclose the circuit  
breakers feeding the utility and generator sources  
to the switch.  
Initiate the electrical transfer test by activating the  
test switch. P timer will time out and the microcon-  
troller will send an engine start signal. When  
the W time has elapsed, the switch will complete  
its transfer by closing into the Source 2.  
Deactivating the test switch will start retransfer to  
Source 1. The switch will complete its retransfer to  
Source 1 after the time delay of the T timer. The U  
engine overrun timer allows the engine generator to  
run unloaded for a preset cool down period.

bypass the "U" time delay if desired. Upon completion of the  
(U) timing cycle, the controller sends an Engine stop signal.  
•
Press and hold the desired test option button until the switch  
transfers to Source 2 (load test) or until the generator has  
been run for the desired amount of time (no load test).  
Releasing the test button before W timer timeout will abort  
the test (Exception: when the transfer commit option, is  
configured “ON”).  
DelayedTransition  
Source 1 Power Failure:  
When the test is initiated, the controller initiates the Time  
Delay Source 2 Start (Engine Start Timer "P") cycle. A manual  
CANCEL button is provided to cancel the test if desired Upon  
completion of the (P) time delay, an Engine start Signal is sent  
to Source 2. When Source 2 voltage and frequency reach the  
preset "Restore" values, the time delay to open Source 1 timer  
(W) begins its timing cycle to ensure voltage and frequency sta-  
bilization before re-transfer. A manual pushbutton BYPASS is  
provided to bypass the "W" time delay if desired. After the (W)  
time delay, the CCNO relay energizes the CNO solenoid to  
open the transfer switch out of Source 1 position. The time  
delay to Source 2 timer (DW) begins its timing cycle. After the  
(DW) time delay, the CCE relay energizes. The switch then  
completes transfer to Source 2 by energizing the CE solenoid.  
The SE limit switch activates to de-energize the CCE relay.  
To test lamps, press TEST then scroll through MORE, then  
press LAMP TEST. To cancel LAMP TEST press MORE.

(See National Electric Code articles 700 and 701)  
ClosedTransition  
GE Zenith Closed Transition Transfer Switches are  
designed to Transfer the Load between two available  
sources with out interrupting power to the Load  
(Make-Before-Break). Paralleling of the two sources  
occurs within a predefined window of synchronization  
and lasts less than 100 milliseconds. The initial Source  
is then disconnected.  
The ATS defaults to an open transition transfer when  
Source 1 fails. Closed transition transfer is not possible  
with only one source available. If the optional Transition  
Mode Selector (TMS) is available, one can select an  
Open Transition Transfer or a Closed Transition  
Transfer when both Sources are available..  
If while in Closed Transition Mode, the ATS fails to  
open the source it is attempting to "transfer out of"  
within 100 milliseconds, an Alarm will sound and the  
source that the ATS just closed into will be opened  
leaving the ATS in its initial source while disabling all  
other transfer operations until the problem is corrected  
and the "Fail to Open Lockout Reset" has been pressed.  
Initiating a Closed Transition  
When a Test is initiated, the controller initiates the  
Time Delay Source 2 Start (Engine Start Timer "P")  
cycle. Upon completion of the (P) time delay, an  
Engine start Signal is sent to Source 2. When Source 2  
voltage and frequency reach the preset "Restore" values,  
the time delay to open Source 1 timer (W) begins its  
timing cycle. After the (W) time delay, the ATS closes  
into Source 2 only after the controller ensures the prop-  
er phase relationship between the two Sources. After the  
ATS closes into Source 2, the SE limit switch becomes  
activated to de-energize the CCE relay and energize  
the CCNO relay which opens the ATS out of Source 1.  
The SNO limit switch activates to de-energize the  
CCNO relay. The ATS has now closed into Source 2  
position without interrupting the load.  
A signal will be provided (STE) to Shunt Trip the  
Generator Circuit Breaker if the Transfer Switch  
remains closed into both Sources for more than 325  
milliseconds. The load will then be fed by the Source 1.  
The maximum time that the two Sources would be  
parallel, under these conditions, is less than 500  
milliseconds. Before operating the Closed Transition  
Transfer Switch, the condition must be corrected and  
the Shunt Trip reset. Refer to procedure for servicing  
the Switch after Shunt Tripping occures.  
Re-Transfer with Closed Transition  
Deactivating the Test Switch initiates the re-transfer.  
When Source 1 voltage and frequency reach the preset  
"Restore" values, the time delay to open Source 2 timer  
(T) begins its timing cycle. After the (T) time delay, the  
ATS closes into Source 1 only after the controller  
ensures the proper phase relationship between the two  
Sources. After the ATS closes into Source1, the SN limit  
switch becomes activated to de-energize the CCN relay  
and energize the CCEO relay which opens the ATS out  
of Source 2. The SEO limit switch activates to de-ener-  
gize the CCEO relay. The ATS has now closed back into  
Source 1 position without interrupting the load.  
The unit is Factory set to accomplish transfer  
within 5 electrical degrees.  
Requires an Isochronous Governor with an  
operating frequency of 60+/- 0.2 Hz.  
Requires a Shunt Trip Breaker on the Generator set  
with a response time not exceeding 50 milliseconds.

the Switch after Shunt Tripping occures.  
Re-Transfer with Closed Transition  
The unit is Factory set to accomplish transfer within  
5 electrical degrees.  
Requires an Isochronous Governor with an operating  
frequency of 60+/- 0.2 Hz.  
Requires a Shunt Trip Breaker on the Generator set  
with a response time not exceeding 50 milliseconds.  
Deactivating the Test Switch initiates the re-transfer.  
When Source 1 voltage and frequency reach the preset  
"Restore" values, the time delay to open Source 2 timer  
(T) begins its timing cycle. After the (T) time delay, the  
ATS closes into Source 1 only after the controller  
ensures the proper phase relationship between the two  
Sources. After the ATS closes into Source1, the SN limit  
switch becomes activated to de-energize the CCN relay  
and energize the CCEO relay which opens the ATS out  
of Source 2. The SEO limit switch activates to de-ener-  
gize the CCEO relay. The ATS has now closed back into  
Source 1 position without interrupting the load.

Relay/Transformer (R/T Box)  
StandardTransition  
the MX250 from the line voltage, further protecting  
Each MX250 microprocessor based ATS controller  
requires a relay/transformer box to apply line voltage to  
the ATS operator via coil control relays. Also required is  
power for the MX150 printed circuit board and an appli-  
cation of sensing voltage proportional to line voltage.  
This is accomplished by the relay transformer box. This  
method of switching operator voltage and applying power  
and sensing voltage to the printed circuit board isolates  
the controller from harmful line transients. Two versions  
of the R/T box exist depending on the type of ATS  
(standard transition or delayed transition).  
The following layout drawings of the R/T Box compo-  
nents (standard and delayed transition) include a bill of  
materials for replacement parts. Schematics are included  
to indicate proper wiring.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics  
DANGER  
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.  
These charts may indicate problems that require authorized GE Zenith service personnel.  
Hazardous voltages may exist on termination plugs other than those that go into the Entelli-Switch 250.  
GeneralTroubleshooting  
The following troubleshooting guide is used to recognize,  
and determine basic faults. When using this guide, it will  
ask several questions about the condition of the switch.  
This guide will then list an order of the possible faults.  
You will then look at the first suspected fault to determine  
if it is the problem. If it is not a fault, you go to the  
second suspected fault. If you go through all of the  
suspected faults, or the chart instructs you to, call  
a GE Zenith Representative for further assistance.  
NOTE: When you use the troubleshooting charts,  
the Annunciation column refers to the LED’s on  
the control panel.

CAUTION  
Due to hazardous voltage and current, GE Zenith rec-  
ommends that a GE Zenith Certified technician or a  
qualified electrician must perform the

operation.  
installation and maintenance of the switch.  
WARNING  
Both power sources must be disconnected  
Testing  
A manual operator handle is provided with the  
transfer switch for maintenance purposes only.  
Manual operation of the switch must be checked  
before it is operated electrically. Both power sources  
must be disconnected before manual operation  
of the switch. Insert the handle and operate the  
transfer switch between the Source 1 and Source 2  
positions. The transfer switch should operate smoothly  
without binding. Return the switch to Source 1  
position, remove the handle, and return it to  
the holder provided.  
before manual operation of the switch.  
A preventive maintenance program will insure high  
reliability and long life for the transfer switch. The  
preventive maintenance program for the transfer  
switch should include the following items:  
Inspection and Cleaning  
The switch should be inspected for any accumulation  
of dust, dirt, or moisture, and should be cleaned by  
vacuuming or wiping with a dry cloth or soft brush.  
do not use a blower since debris may become lodged  
in the electrical and mechanical components and  
cause damage.  
After completing the inspection, cleaning and servicing  
of the transfer switch, reinstall the switch cover,  
and close and lock the cabinet door. Reclose the  
circuit breakers feeding the utility and generator  
sources to the switch.  
Remove the transfer switch barriers and check the  
condition of the contacts. Any surface deposits must  
be removed with a clean cloth (do not use emery  
cloth or a file). If the contacts are pitted or worn  
excessively, they should be replaced. A general  
inspection of mechanical integrity should be made  
to include loose, broken or badly worn parts.  
Initiate the electrical transfer test by activating the  
TS test switch. P timer will time out and the micro-  
controller will send an engine start signal. When  
the W time has elapsed, the switch will complete  
its transfer by closing into Source 2.  
Deactivating the test switch will start retransfer to  
Source 1. The switch will complete its retransfer  
to Source 1 after the time delay of the T timer.  
The U engine overrun timer allows the engine  
generator to run unloaded for a preset cool  
down period.  
Servicing  
All worn or inoperative parts must be replaced  
using GE Zenith recommended replacement parts.  
Please refer to the Replacement Parts manual for  
specific part information and ordering procedures.  
Please contact the GE Zenith Technical Services  
Department for the Replacement Parts manual.  
NOTE:  
A periodic test of the transfer switch  
under load conditions is recommended  
to insure proper operation. (See National  
Electric Code articles 700 and 701).  
The operating mechanism of the transfer switch  
is lubricated with Lubriplate 105. The lubricant  
applied at the factory provides adequate lubrication for  
the lifetime of the switch. Should debris contaminate  
the mechanism, clean and apply additional Lubriplate.  
WARNING  
When performing a hi-pot or dielectric test  
on the power section, DISCONNECT the  
control panel plugs from the microprocessor  
to avoid potential damage.  
GE Zenith can provide complete preventative main-  
tenance services. Please contact the GE Zenith Technical  
Services Department for additional information.
