any help would be appreciated, I reviewed the owner's manual and the Magnum manual, somewhere there is a reset switch and I can't find it.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS...
Follow the below steps to test the function of the F50-ATS.
BEFORE TESTING:
Ensure air conditioning units and other high current users are switched o. It is
harmful for the transfer switch to switch over power sources while under load.
Shut down all power sources to the RV
Label power sources clearly that testing is in progress.
If accessible, remove the lid of the ATS to visually check function.
ATS FUNCTION TESTING:
1. Plug in the shore power cable and turn on the dockside shore power breaker, as soon
as the shore side breaker is turned on you will hear a clunk noise immediately as the
shore power contactor engages inside the ATS, power is then supplied to the RV from
the ATS line out feed.
2. Turn o the shore side power breaker to shut down power to the RV, you will hear a
clunk as the Shore power contactor disconnects (keep the shore power cord connected
with no power for further testing).
3.Start the Generator in the RV and wait for it to run up to speed, as soon as power is fed
to the ATS from the generator the green LED indicator light on the internal ATS PCB will
illuminate, the ATS has a 20-30 second time delay before engaging the internal contactor
to allow for the generator to warm up. After 20-30 seconds you will hear a clunk noise as
the generator contactor engages inside the ATS, power from the generator is now supplied
to the RV from the ATS line out feed.
4. Shut down the generator
ATS SWITCHING TESTING:
To test the switching function after both function tests have passed:
1. Turn on the shore cord shore side breaker to engage the shower power contactor, power
is now being supplied to the RV by the shore power.
2.Start the generator and wait for it to warm up, after 20-30 seconds you will hear a clunk as
the unit automatically switches over power sources from shore power to generator.
3.Turn o shore power from the shore side breaker and conrm the generator is feeding the
line out, the power supply should not be interrupted by doing this.
4.Turn on the shore power shore side breaker again which will engage the shore power
contactor. While the shore power is still connected and on, then turn o the generator, this
will then disengage the generator contactor and automatically switch to running on shore
power feed.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR F50-ATS:
In the event of a problem with your F50-ATS, contact a qualied electrician for advice.
COMMON PROBLEMS:
Transfer switch will not switch over from Shore Power to Generator feed.
Possible cause: Bad PCB.
How to check: Open the transfer Switch lid so the PCB in visible, do not put your hands or
touch anything parts inside the box.
Turn on the generator so electric is being fed to the ATS, using a multi meter check for
correct voltage at the incoming generator wiring terminals.
If the correct power is being fed to the ATS from the Generator the ATS PCB’s the green
LED illuminated. After 30 seconds if the contactor does not close
If the PCB’s green LED is not illuminated while generator voltage is present indicates
the PCB has been damaged and will need replaced.

POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR F50-ATS PROBLEMS:
INGRESS OF FOREIGN OBJECTS INSIDE ENCLOSURE:
Reasons:
Poor installation can cause wood chippings, sawdust, metal lings, or other foreign
matter to enter the case.
Unsuitable mounting position can cause condensation, moisture or dirt to enter the
enclosure,
Potential Damage: Contactor does not function properly, burned out coils, Metal particles
can cause re or short the PCB.
FLUCTUATING POWER OR POWER SPIKES:
Reasons:
Lighting strikes,
Unbalance load at park,
Park Black outs
Utility service at park is undersized or located next to an industrial environment.
Potential Damage: burnt out contactor coils, PCB damage, pitted contacts, further
damage to the RV.
LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY:
Reasons:
Bad or corroded electrical connection,
Extension cord length too long
Operating too much load for power available.
Park power supply insucient
Potential Damage: Pitted contacts, burnt out contactor coils, further damage to the RV.
GENERATOR FEED:
Reasons:
Generator requires maintenance,
Generator Governors or throttle problems
Generator Auto Start/Stop failure.
Potential Damage: Burnt out contactor coils, PCB damage, pitted contacts, further
damage to the RV.
