Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What is the primary function of this controller? It acts as the “brain” of an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), deciding when to disconnect from the utility grid and connect to the generator during a power outage, and vice versa when the utility power returns.
❓ Is it compatible with different types of switches? The 8440-1867 is designed to be highly versatile and can interface with various motorized transfer switch mechanisms. Always consult the wiring diagram to ensure electrical compatibility with your specific switch actuator.
❓ How does it prevent “out-of-phase” transfers? The controller includes phase-matching and monitoring logic to ensure that the two power sources are synchronized or within safe parameters before the switch operation is completed.
