Options
Time Delays
2CAn extended time delay on engine starting. Adjustable from 0 to 60 min in 1 second steps. Factory set at 5 minutes.
1GSimilar to accessory 2C except using 24 volt DC external input signal. 7000 Series controller remains active when both power sources are de-energized.
Manual Controls for Automatic Transfer Switches
6CReset switch for manual retransfer to normal with automatic retransfer in the event of emergency source failure.
6DSelector switch for automatic/manual retransfer to normal. Automatic bypass if emergency fails.
Engine Generator Controls and Accessories
12Three position engine control selector switch.
Positions: 1 - Stop 2 - Automatic 3 - Engine Test
Note:The addition of accessory 12 requires the product to be labeled "Non-Automatic Transfer Switch" as defined in UL1008.
Engine controls containing engine stop positions should be located at the engine generator. (Consult ASCO for application assistance).
Indicators
14A/14BAdditional auxiliary contact sets to indicate switch position. Two sets are standard. Specify total number of sets if more are required.
18BTwo-pole, double-throw contacts operate when emergency source voltage is present at transfer switch terminals.
18GTwo-pole, double-throw contacts operate when normal source voltage is present at transfer switch terminals.
99Push-to-Test feature on all pilot light indicators.
Customer Control Circuits
30ALoad-shedding circuit initiated by opening of a customer-supplied contact.
30BLoad-shedding circuit initiated by removal of customer-supplied control voltage. (Specify voltage).
31ZSelective load disconnect control contacts (two provided) which operate with time delay prior to and/or after load transfer and retransfer.
43RTerminal block for all customer control connections on 30-150 amp only (standard on all other sizes).
Neutral Conductor Options
Solid neutral, with fully-rated terminals. (AL-CU) UL Listed.
Conventional neutral switching pole.
Overlapping neutral transfer contacts. Allows for proper ground-fault sensing and avoids generator voltage transients during transfer.
Notes:Specify neutral option in catalog number, see page 16 for instructions.
Extension Harness
37BSix foot (6') extension harness to increase distance between transfer switch and control panel on open-type units.
Analog Load Metering Options
23BThree phase ammeter with selector switch (with current transformers and shorting blocks).
24BThree phase voltmeter with selector switch.
Notes:Refer to ASCO 7000 Series Data Monitor which provides voltage, frequency and power monitoring.
Serial Communications
72ASerial communication module for remote communications to ASCO Power Quest products.
Surge Protection - ASCO Pulsar 450 rated 40KA
73AC1Normal source protection. (3Ø, 4wire WYE)
73AC2Emergency source protection. (3Ø, 4wire WYE)
73AC3Load side protection. (3Ø, 4wire WYE)
Notes:Other distribution voltages available (Contact ASCO).
Special Applications

111BGenerator-to-Generator for Prime Power Applications
Bypass Isolation Switch Options
14A1Auxiliary contact to close in Bypass to Normal position.
14B1Auxiliary contact to close in Bypass to Emergency position.
14TAuxiliary contact to close when transfer switch is in Automatic position.
14UAuxiliary contact to close when transfer switch is in Isolate position.
14VAuxiliary; contact to close when transfer switch is in Open position.
14WAuxiliary; contact to close when transfer switch is in Test position.
ATS Bypass Isolation Drawout Features (1000-2000 amperes)
82B Transfer switch lifting yoke to facilitate the removal of the transfer switch from the drawout carriage.
