How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not manually force the switch under load. Have a qualified person shut down generator and utility before operating ATS manually.
- Confirm utility power: Verify that utility voltage is present at the line side of the ATS.
- Inspect sensing fuses: Some ATS units have small fuses for sensing circuits; replace if blown.
- Manual retransfer (qualified only): With both sources off, use the manual handle to return the switch to utility position, then restore utility power.
When to call a technician: A technician should test the ATS control board and Centurion controller sensing circuits and replace faulty components.
