WARNING is used in this manual to warn of a

hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result death or serious injury.

CAUTION is used in this manual to warn of a

hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.

ASCO Series 185 Automatic Transfer Switches (ATSs)
are Listed under Underwriter’s Laboratories Standard for
Transfer Switch Equipment, UL–1008. They are intended
for use only in optional standby systems in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, NEC/NFPA 70, Article
702. This ATS is for use with 2–wire automatic–start
generators only.
Refer to Application Information 381339–292 to confirm

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 load is connected to the
utility.
Load on Generator
This light indicates that the load is connected to the
generator.
Automatic Generator Exerciser
This light indicates the status of the generator exerciser:
- blinks during the exercise period (including cooldown).
- stays on when the exerciser has been set.
- is off when the exerciser has not been set.

3-Generator Starting Contacts

The generator starting contacts connections are on the
controller. Refer to the generator manual. Disconnect
the generator battery and verify that the ignition switch is
in the OFF position. Connect the generator starting
wires to the appropriate terminals on terminal block TB7
as shown on the wiring diagram. For wiring
convenience terminal block TB7 has a removable plug.
