Transfer to Standby Sequence

RE:    10kw 2004 vintage (actually an SOP (Standard Operation Procedure)

This is controlled by the Generator control Board

The control board puts a + 12VDC on the Transfer Relay (Wire 194)

The Control board puts a GROUND on the Transfer Relay (Wire 23) when actually doing the transfer to the Generator. (See the Diagram)

NO TRANSFER usually means a bad Control board.

Things to check...............

When in Transfer Mode (Utility Power is OFF, either by killing the Power Company Main Breaker or by pulling the 2 cartridge fuses in the Transfer Switch) the Control board should put a ground on terminal 23 and cause the relay to energize. With a volt meter you should be able to read 12 VDC across wires 194(+) and 23(-).  If there is NO voltage then the control board may be bad.  If there is 12 VDC on this terminal pair, then the Control Transfer Relay may be bad.
