INDICATOR LIGHTS

 

On the front control display are five lights that indicate the status of the sources and the ATS.

 

UTILITY ACCEPTABLE:

This light indicates that the utility voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.

 

LOAD ON UTILITY, LOAD ON GENERATOR:

These two lights indicate which source (utility or generator) is connected to the load.

 

GENERATOR ACCEPTABLE:

This light indicates that the generator voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.

 

AUTOMATIC GENERATOR EXERCISER:

When the utility is acceptable and the load is on the utility, this light flashes the number of days until the next exercise period. when it is off, no exerciser period is set. the light is also off when the generator is running.
