    Great video! We have been dealing with a problem in a CTG 1200A ATS with the MX150 controller.
    The thing is, we set up the everything and genset run every test fine from the controller including load test, no load start, etc.
    The thing is that when we shut down the utility to test like in a real life situation:
    1) I takes 1 exact minute to close the start relay, even when the start delay is set to the minimum time.
    2) When it finally starts, as soon as the generator runs, the start relay opens and turns the genset off, and closes and open again and again until when stop it manually.
    3) I’m not very familiar with the MX150, but the controller screen is supposed to turn off when the utility goes out?
    Any input on this will be appreciated!! Thanks 🙏🏻

      have you tried setting the engine start for something like 10 seconds?
      you may have lost the coin cell battery, power down the ATS, and remove the back cover form the controller and you'll see it.
      lastly and most likely the logic is corrupt, if it is send it to these guy's www.flightsystems.com/
      i use them a lot, i think the last one we did cost about $550

    Hi chainsaws and generators. I’m trying to figure out where to connect my “remote start” wires coming from my backup generator to the automatic transfer switch mx150. Based on your video. I just need to connect my two wires to the P relay on terminals 1 and 2? Great video by the way buddy!

    Hey Chainsaw and Generators can you show how to program the MX150 to run under gen load for a few hours?

    Is the P relay take power from the controller? Can you explain how the SCR get signal from controller?

      Yeah, power down the swich and see if it moves freely, not binding up.
      Check to see if the coil has power while transferring, if so the coil maybe bad. Check the resistance of the coil.
