The ASCO Catalog 5110 Serial Module (optional Accessory
72A) is required with 4000 Series, 7000 Series, or Series 300
Automatic Transfer Switches (ATSs) for serial communica-
tions. With this option installed, the ATS Controller can
respond to requests (from ASCO devices) to send the status
of standard features and optional accessories. In addition, the
controller can receive remote commands to control the
operation of the ATS.
This manual explains how to install the Serial Module on
4000 Series, 7000 Series, and Series 300 ATSs only.

SERIAL MODULE INSTALLATION
With Accessory 72A Serial Module Catalog 5110 added
to 4000 Series, 7000 Series, and Series 300 Automatic
Transfer Switches (ATSs), real–time data can be accessed
through the serial interface. Refer to the installation
drawings provided and follow the steps below to install
the Serial Module.
Group 1 or 5
ATS Controller
De–energize the Normal and Emergency sources
before opening the enclosure. Place the engine
generator starting control in the OFF position.
Make sure the generator is not operating.
9–pin D
Mounting connector
The Serial Module mounts on a DIN rail directly under
the ATS controller. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
1. De–energize both Normal and Emergency sources that
feed the ATS. Then open the enclosure door and check serial
connector
with a non–contact AC voltage detector.
2. Mount the DIN rail (supplied in the kit) onto two studs

Connections Serial
A short serial cable connects the Serial Communication Module
Module to the Controller. If a Power Manager is present,
a long serial cable connects the Serial Communication
Module to the Power Manager. Refer to the wiring
diagram provided. The wiring must be performed by an
experienced licensed electrician in accordance with the
DIN rail
National Electrical Code and all local codes.
1. Install the 10–inch serial cable (from the kit) between
removable plug
the ATS controller receptacle (J7 on 4000 & 7000 with terminals
Series, J4 on Series 300) and the Serial Module
receptacle J1. Figure 1. Serial Module mounted on DIN rail.

Setting the ATS Address
Set the communication address in the ATS controller.
Follow either the 4000 & 7000 Series procedure or the
Series 300 procedure below. Use Table D to record the
address and other ATS information.
4000 & 7000 Series ATSs
1. Refer to Group 5 Controller User’s Guide 381333–126
pages 2–8 and 2–9 for how to set a unique address for
this Automatic Transfer Switch.
2. If ASCObus II protocol is used (such as used with VPi
computer software) and a Power Manager is included
with the ATS, the Power Manager must be
programmed with the same address as that selected for
the ATS Group 5 Controller connected to the Serial S3 DIP

Module.
However, if Modbus protocol is used and a Power
Manager is included with the ATS, the Power Manager
must be programmed with a different and unique Figure 6. Location of S3 DIP switch in

1. Remove the cover from the controller by releasing the
latch on the right side with your thumb. See Figure 5. actuator
2. Locate DIP switch S3 (left center) and set a unique (8 on each DIP switch)
address for this ATS. Use a ball---point pen (or similar
pointed tool) to slide the switch actuators left or right off on
so that they match the illustration next to the setting
(left=off, right=on). Recheck the setting. See Figures
6 and 7, and refer to Table C on the next page. Figure 7. Setting DIP switch actuators.
