What happens when a fail safe switch is bypassed?
Fail-safe bypass switch contact mechanisms are identical to those used in the switch’s ATS section, simplifying maintenance and stocking of spare parts. When a fail-safe bypass switch is bypassed, its load contacts will cause the same type of momentary load interruption that occurs when transferring a comparably sized transfer switch.
What do you need to know about failsafe wiring?
Failsafe wiring practice is one of those topics that separates control system designers and electricians from other technical specialties. This is one of the areas that show up as problems if the design/installation team are not normally controls oriented.
What is the goal of a fail safe circuit?
The goal of fail-safe design is to make a control system as tolerant as possible to likely wiring or component failures. The most common type of wiring and component failure is an “open” circuit, or broken connection.
How are model switches configured for failsafe operation?
The fact that the switch has a Form-C contact set allows the same model switch to be configured for failsafe operation, using the N.C. set for high levels and the N.O. set for low levels. With the tank empty, the low-level switchs N.O. contacts are open, removing the interlock for the motor.
When does the transmission go into failsafe mode?
For example the A5S360R transmission will go into 5th gear when there is a mechanical malfunction and 4th when there is a power failure to the TCM, (this is a key note to remember when diagnosing). Since pressure regulation ceases, the shift to failsafe mode will be abrupt or harsh, unless the transmission is already in the failsafe gear.

What to do if you can’t find your safe combination?
If your safe has an electronic lock, the safe serial number or the serial number of the electronic safe lock itself, can be used to see if there is a master override code for the safe. Entering the override code will reset the electronic lock so that the locks default combination will work.

Can a maintenance bypass switch be transferred to a normal source?
To bypass to either the normal or emergency source with a maintenance bypass switch, the ATS must be in the source position to which the operator wishes to bypass. If it is not, then it must be electrically or manually transferred to that source before it can be safely bypassed.
When does a bypass / isolation switch become useless?
If for some reason the automatic transfer switch portion of the unit has been rendered mechanically or electrically inoperable while in the opposite position, bypass becomes impossible and the bypass/isolation switch is left useless.
