DANGER is used in this manual to warn of high voltages capable of causing shock, burns, or death.
Rating Label
CAUTION is used in this manual to warn of possible equipment damage. Each automatic transfer switch contains a rating label to define the loads and fault circuit withstand / closing ratings. Refer to the label on the transfer switch for specific values.
Do not exceed the values on the rating label. Exceeding the rating can cause personal injury or serious equipment damage.
Nameplate
The Transfer Switch nameplate includes data for each specific 4000 Series ATS. Use the switch only within the limits shown on this nameplate. A typical Catalog Number is shown on the next page with its elements explained.

SECTION 1
ASCO 4000 Series Automatic OpenTransition Transfer Switches are factory wired and tested. Field installation simply requires mounting and connection of service cables, and auxiliary control circuits (if required).
INSTALLATION
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 level and straight. Refer to the applicable enclosure outline drawing included with the ATS for all mounting details including door opening space. If bottom cable entry is used, the foundation must be prepared so that the conduit stubs are located correctly. Refer to the enclosure outline drawing for specified area and location. Provide cable bending space and clearance to live metal parts. When a concrete floor is poured, use interlocking conduit spacer caps or a wood or metal template to maintain proper conduit alignment.
Mounting
Refer to the outline and mounting diagram provided with the ATS; it shows all mounting details and instructions. Protect the switch from construction grit and metal chips to prevent malfunction or shortened life of the automatic switch switch. Mount the ATS vertically to a rigid supporting structure. Level all mounting points by using flat washers behind the holes to avoid distortion of the switch. The controller is mounted on the cabinet door. An add-on DIN rail is provided for some optional accessories and is mounted below controller on the door.
The cable spacers must be located as shown for 150, 200, and 230 ampere transfer switches.

Deenergize the conductors before making any line or auxiliary circuitry connections. Be sure that Normal and Emergency line connections are in proper phase rotation. Place engine generator starting control in the OFF position. Make sure engine generator is not in operation.

INSTALLATION
Auxiliary Cable Boxes
For 1000 & 1200 amp. sizes, an auxiliary cable box is required for all (normal, emergency, & load)bottom or top entry. Order ASCO part no. 609027 if required.

On 1000 & 1200 amp. be sure to install auxiliary cable box if both service and load cables are entering through the top or bottom of enclosure.
Bus Connections
For large switches use grade 5 hardware to connect bus to appropriate terminal plates. Wipe off the bus surfaces before they are joined. If the bus is very dirty, gently clean the surfaces with a non---flammable solvent. Avoid touching the cleaned surfaces. Tighten bolted joints to the torque specified in Table A.
Controller Ground
A grounding wire must be connected to the controllers lower left mounting stud. Because the controller is mounted on the enclosure door, a conductive strap must be used between the enclosure and the door. This connection provides proper grounding which does not rely upon the door hinges.
Harnesses
The transfer switch is connected to the left side of the control panel by a plug-in harness (two plugs).
The reliability of the connection depends on how clean and how tight the joint is.
Auxiliary Circuits
Connect auxiliary circuit wires to appropriate terminals on the transfer switch. Note the control features that are furnished on this switch. Make the necessary auxiliary connections by referring to the Wiring Diagram.
