PowerStay^TM Automatic Power Transfer System
from Gen/Tran^®

The PowerStay™ Automatic Power Transfer System, used in conjunction with a standby portable generator, provides a convenient way to maintain power in a home or business during a power outage. The PowerStay™ system senses when utility power shuts off, triggers a permanently installed generator to start, and once the generator reaches a nominal output level, the selected household circuits are transferred to the generator load according to the priority assigned at installation. This system is designed for use with gas-powered, automatic choke engines with electric/remote start kits, as well as propane, natural gas or diesel-powered generators up to 30 kilowatts. 

SMART FEATURES - microprocessor based

• Safe – Prevents generator backfeed into utility power, like all other Gen/Tran 
  transfer switches.
• Automatic switching between utility and generator power – When the system 
  senses partial or total loss of electricity for 30+ seconds, it automatically starts 
  the generator (equipped with appropriate remote starting capabilities), and transfers 
  the loads according to priority assigned upon installation. When utility power is 
  restored consistently for one minute, the system automatically disconnects the 
  electrical circuits in your home or business from generator power, reconnects them 
  to your utility power, and cools down the generator.
• Smart startup/shutdown – Limits rapid intermittent start-up and shutdown, 
  prolonging generator life. -Waits 30 seconds after sustained power loss to start up 
  generator -Waits 30 seconds to begin sequenced transfer of loads to the generator 
  -Once power is restored, waits one minute to re-transfer loads back to utility. 
  - 30 seconds after re-transfer, completes generator shutdown.
• “Break before make” relays – Allow each household circuit to be taken off the utility 
  line when connection to the generator is made, ensuring that power is not sent to a 
  designated circuit from two different sources at the same time.
• Intelligent load-shedding – In generator mode, the system automatically sheds less 
  important circuits as loading increases on higher priority circuits, which allows a larger 
  number of loads – some intermittent – to be supported without nuisance tripping or 
  having to invest in a larger generator.
• Built-in battery charger – Charges your generator battery between uses so it's ready 
  when you need it.
• Programmable generator exerciser – Tests generator every 14 days at the selected 
  time of day to maintain a healthy generator.
• Generator usage monitor – Tracks total run time to help gauge fuel consumption.
• Programmable alarm system – Can be programmed at installation to sound an alarm in 
  case of expected low fuel levels.
• Flexible – Accommodates gas, propane, LP gas and diesel generators from 3500 watts 
  (14 amp) to 30KW (125amp). Appropriate for any single phase 125/250V electrical 
  application.
• Easy installation – Similar to Gen/Tran^® manual transfer switches.
