LX-250 Transfer Switch power panel or to TB8-1 and TB8–2 on the left side of the LX-350
Transfer Switch power panel.

BREAKER. The Automatic Transfer Switch should transfer to the alternate source per
system requirements. Bump the motor to check for proper rotation. If incorrect, move the
FIRE PUMP ISOLATING SWITCH to the OFF position and switch the generator set off using
the switch located on the generator. Switch any two leads on the line side of the FIRE PUMP
ISOLATING SWITCH. Return the generator set control switch to the Auto position and close
the FIRE PUMP ISOLATING SWITCH. The generator set may start.
3. Operate the pump on the alternate (emergency) source using the START and STOP push
buttons.
4. Close the CIRCUIT BREAKER. The Control Module should now be sensing normal power
and timing for retransfer. Press the BYPASS RETRANSFER TO NORMAL push button to
return the Transfer Switch to the normal position.
