Quick Start Guide
LSE 8600 Controller
ATS Initial Installation
1. Battery Power Control Wire:
The battery power control wires will need to be installed from the generator batteries prior to energizing the controller. If the generator
battery power is 12VDC, the positive will be terminated on terminal 027 and the negative will be terminated on terminal 036. If the
generator battery power is 24VDC, the positive will be terminated on terminal 025 and the negative will be terminated on terminal 036.
Please refer to the order specic drawings included with the equipment for more information.
Note: If the ATS was purchased with a DC UPS, disregard this step. If 12VDC or 24VDC is not available and the DC UPS was not
purchased, please contact Lake Shore Electric.
2. Engine Start Control Wire:
The engine start control wires will need to be installed prior to energizing the controller. The Engine Start output from the controller is
a Form “C” output. The wire terminations for the engine start functions will need to be coordinated with the generator manufacturer to
determine the correct input is used for the application. For the normally open contact, terminate the wires from the generator on terminals
ESNO and COM. For the normally closed contact, terminate the wires from the generator on terminals ESNC and COM. Please refer to the
order specic drawings included with the equipment for more information.
ATS Control Start-Up
1. Close the DC Control Power fuse.
2. Close and latch the main door of the ATS.
3. The Controller will boot up in “Auto” mode.
• If utility power is available, the ATS will close the “NS” switch (S1) and connect the load to utility power.
• If utility power is not available, the ATS will start the generator, close the “ES” switch (S2), and connect the load to generator power.
4. The ATS is now operational.
Note: Any time the controller loses DC power, it will boot up in “Auto” mode when DC Power is available.
