 +  * S4 is a 3-position center return selector switch with "ON" and "OFF"
 +    * S4 is only enabled when S3 is not in "AUTO".  
 +    * When S3 is in either "City" or "Gen" bypass mode, S4 switches ON or OFF the respective contactor. 
 +  * S3 is mounted inside a protective shroud to prevent casual operation.  
 +  * Placing S3 in the City (Utility) disables genset auto-start and K-GC (5) 
 +    * To turn on City/Utility power, momentarily turn S4 to the "ON" position. 
 +    * To turn off the City/Utility Power, momentarily turn S4 to the "OFF" position.   
 +    * Low voltage from City power will not open contactor K-UC (3) until the voltage falls to approximately 60VAC.  
 +  * Placing S3 in the Generator position disables K-UC (3), City Power and starts the Generator. 
 +    * To switch on Generator power, momentarily turn S4 to the "ON" position once generator is up to speed.  
 +    * To turn off the Generator Power, momentarily turn S4 to the "OFF" position.   
 +    * Power to the load will remain OFF until S3 is returned to AUTO, or switched to CITY.  
 +    * If the generator fails (or runs out of fuel) and the voltage falls below approximately 60VAC, contactor K-UG (5) will open by itself.  
 +      * Allowing this to happen can damage equipment, including the generator diodes.

 +**DANGER:** Current transformers must be connected to a device, or short-circuited before power is applied in the circuit to be measured. Current transformers are //constant current// devices, not //constant voltage// like ordinary transformers. 
 +
 +  * **A C.T. with loose leads can have lethal voltage on the terminal, possibly over 1000V.**
