    • When specified for use with a CTGD Series delayed transition switch, the control panel also includes the following:
    • Event Log OD 16 Event that track date, time, reason and action taken
    • Time Delay on Retransfer to Normal: To delay retransfer to normal source (immediate retransfer on generator set failure); standard setting 30 minutes, adjustable 0-60 minutes
    • 7, 14, 28 day interval timed exerciser, pushbutton/timer operation
    • Test Switch - Momentary
