This ASCO Series 185SE Service Entrance Power Transfer Switch automatically transfers single phase loads up to 100A and includes a circuit breaker disconnect device for the normal source. An additional circuit breaker for the emergency source is optional. The automatic transfer switch senses the loss of utility power and signals the generator to start and restore power to your home or business – even if no one is home. When utility power has been restored, the Asco Transfer Switch automatically transfers your vital loads back to the utility and shuts the generator down.

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.
  • Generator Acceptable: This light indicates that the generator voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.
  • Load on Utility: This light indicates that the generator voltage is acceptable for connection to the load.
  • Load on Generator: 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.

Time Delays
