How to conduct generator test with load transfer for a 165 Series ATS?
During this test, a utility failure is simulated. The generator starts and the load transfers to the generator. Then the load retransfers back to the utility and the generator stops.

1. Press and hold the Push to Test button until the GENERATOR acceptable light comes on and stays on (the generator cranks and starts).

2. The automatic transfer switch waits 15 seconds to allow the generator to warm up. Then it transfers the load to the generator. The TRANSFER SWITCH on the generator (alternate source) light comes on.

3. After 5 minutes the automatic transfer switch retransfers the load back to the utility. To bypass the time delay, press and release the Push to Test button again. The TRANSFER SWITCH on utility (preferred source) light comes on.

4. After load retransfer the generator will continue to run unloaded for one minute for engine cooldown. Then it is stopped. The GENERATOR acceptable light goes off.
