TS 870 TRANSFER SWITCH 
PM062 REV 5 08/05/05  3  Thomson Technology 
3.2.  TRANSFER SWITCHES WITH INTEGRAL OVER CURRENT PROTECTION 
For models of transfer switch with integral over current protection, the over current protection 
must be set prior to operation.  The equipment will be shipped from the factory with a long-
time  current  setting  of  100%  (of  the  equipment  rating)  and  maximum  short-
time/instantaneous current and time delay settings.  
WARNING! 
Do  Not  Energize  this  equipment  until 
device  settings  have  been  verified  to 
ensure  proper  system  protection  & 
coordination.    Failure  to  do  so  may 
result in equipment failure. 
Refer to Section 5.2.2 of this manual for additional information on operation of the Transfer 
switch following an over current trip condition. 
Refer to information supplied with the transfer switch documentation package for adjustment 
procedures on the power switching units over current protection trip unit. Contact the factory 
if any additional information is required. 
3.3.  TRANSFER SWITCHES WITH MULTI-TAP VOLTAGE CAPABILITY 
If  the  transfer  switch  has  programmable  multi-tap  voltage  capability (i.e.  ATS  Model Code 
with  Voltage  Code  “Y”),  confirm  the  transfer  switch  has  been  configured  for  the  correct 
system voltage prior to installation. 
WARNING! 
Failure  to  confirm  and  match  transfer 
switch  voltage  with  the  system  voltage 
could cause serious equipment damage. 
The voltage selections and connections are shown on the engineered drawings attached to 
each  transfer  switch.    The  factory default settings  will  be  indicated  on  the  calibration  label 
attached on the inside of the enclosure door (supplied loose on open style models).  A blank 
label  is  included  to  record  the  applicable  settings  if  the  configuration  is  changed  from  the 
factory default settings.
