isolation feature allows the power
transfer switch to be inspected, tested
and maintained without interrupting
power to the load.
The 7000 Series also includes a
Microprocessor Based Controller,
which represents the most
advanced digital based microprocessor control panel in the industry.
It includes, as standard, all of the
voltage, frequency, control, timing
and diagnostic functions required
for most emergency and standby
power applications.
