4 Utility voltage is still low after Circuit board action energizes a Circuit board crank and run
15 seconds. crank relay and a run relay. relays.
See NOTE 1.
5 Utility voltage still low and Circuit board s engine warmup Engine Warmup Timer (10 seconds)
the engine has started. timer runs for 10 seconds.
6 Engine running and engine Circuit board action energizes a Circuit board transfer relay circuit
warmup timer times out. transfer relay in transfer switch Transfer switch transfer relay.
AC output voltage above and transfer to Standby occurs.
50% nominal voltage.
7 Engine running and load is No further action Circuit board voltage pickup
powered by Standby power. sensor continues to seek an
acceptable Utility voltage.
8 Utility source voltage is Circuit board voltage pickup Voltage Pickup Sensor (80%)
restored above 80% of rated sensor reacts and a re-transfer Return to Utility Timer (15 seconds)
