The ASCO series 165 Automatic Transfer Switch, with accessory 105, is designed work with most electric start generators to provide a fully automatic backup power system.

  • The standard ASCO 165 is for use with two wire start generators. The standard 165 controller (without Accessory 105A or 105E) signals the generator to start by de-energizing it's "Normal" relay (NR). The relay contacts are wired to the engine-mounted starting controls, which in turn initiate the starting and stopping sequence.

  • The four wire start options (acc.105A or 105E) provide cycle cranking functions into the 165 transfer switch start circuit instead of the engine controls.

  • The accessory 105A was developed specifically for the Coleman Powermate. Accessory 105A is used on Coleman generator sizes 8.5kW (Model # PM0628511.01), 10kW (Model # PM0621011.01), and 15kW (Model # PM0621512.01). All other Coleman gensets use the standard two wire control.

  • Accessory 105E should be specified for all other applications that require four wire start.

  • Accessory 105E is designed to work with electric start generators that DO NOT need a human to operate the choke. If you need to manually operate the choke to start your generator, accessory 105E WILL NOT WORK.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

The controller interfaces to the engine through two sets of relay contacts, designated the START and RUN contacts. To start the engine, the controller de-energizes both relays, which cause the engine to crank. The controller monitors the output voltage and frequency of the generator and uses a proprietary algorithm to determine when to terminate cranking. Once the engine has started, the controller re-energizes the START Relay to terminate cranking, but keeps the RUN relay de-energized. To stop the engine, the controller re-energizes the RUN relay.

If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, the controller re-energizes both the START and RUN relays, waits 10 seconds and tries again. The controller will repeat the cycle three times and will then lock out further attempts, and generate an error condition.

Battery power must be provided to the controller on four-wire start circuits so that it remains powered during the cranking cycle.

The controller also provides over frequency shutdown of the engine. When the controller detects if the generator frequency exceeds 69hz, the controller will immediately shutdown the engine, display an error condition and lock out further attempts to start the engine until the alarm is cleared

 

Performance sets the Series 165 apart.

The Series 165 Automatic Transfer Switch incorporates the latest generator transfer switch technology developed by ASCO for dependable operation in any environment.

  • When utility power fails for just 3 seconds or more, the Series 165 Automatic Transfer Switch signals the generator to start.

  • In less than 30 seconds your electrical power is restored and life returns to normal.

  • Once the Series 165 Automatic Transfer Switch senses utility power has reached an acceptable voltage level for a period of time, it automatically reconnects your home or business to commercial power.

  • It then smoothly shuts the generator down after a one minute cool down period to extend generator life.

  • The Series 165 Automatic Transfer Switch automatically performs a test to simulate utility power failure every 14 days.

  • The user-friendly control panel also allows you to manually run a test at the push of a button.

  • LED indicators let you know the availability of both power sources and transfer switch positions.

 

SERIES 165  AUTOMATIC GENERATOR TRANSFER SWITCH
 FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

  • 3-second time delay to override momentary utility source failures.

  • 15-second transfer to emergency time delay to allow the generator to stabilize after starting

  • 15-second time delay after transfer to the standby source, to ignore momentary voltage dips on the generator during initial loading.

  • 5-minute time delay on retransfer, to allow utility source to stabilize prior to transferring the load back to utility.

  • 1-minute unloaded running time delay for  generator cool-down before shutdown. 

  • Simulates a power failure every 14 days to exercise and test your generator.
