I have had this part for almost 8 months and had not looked at it closely until tonight. The dealer sold me what they called a 12vdc transformer which is logical to me because 120vac is transformed into 12vdc.

The point of this adapter, transformer, converter or power supply is that it needed a 120VAC source BEFORE the ATS which some seem to question. Somehow in the re-installation process to move that 12vdc adapter from an outlet AFTER the ATS to a new installed outlet BEFORE ATS , the dealer may have miswired something to cause it to kill at least the shorepower portion of ATS. When Genset is running the ATS seem to be just fine. Maybe it is somehow stuck on generator flow?

You need to learn the correct language and stop using all the wrong words. I is very hard to follow what you are talking about.


you have shore power, generator, ATS, Electric Panel box, Main breaker, sub breaker, Converter. In that order.


First off. NOTHING goes before the ATS. The chain of command is. Shore power cord connected to INPUT side of ATS. Generate connected to 2nd input side of ATS. RV electric panel box with Main breaker and sub breakers installed connected to OUTPUT side of ATS.

That's it!!! Shore Power, generator, Electric panel. Any load before the electric main breaker is a hack job and against NEC code. No load of any kind is before the panel main breaker.

Also you need to check the voltage at the shore power for 240 volts L1 to L2. And keep checking that all the way back to the main breaker. 240 volts at the main breaker. L1 to L2. You will not get 240 volts from the generator.

You EMS (miss named "surge Protector" needs to see 240 volts. Also your EMS has a 120 sec time dely. It will not pass voltage untill it has gone thru it timed cycle.
