We have recently experienced several calls on new installations regarding units refusing to transfer to generator load. The gensets would start and shut down in the auto mode but would not transfer. After verifying system voltage, further investigation determined that the generator output voltage was not matched to utility voltage and in fact was approximately 20 to 30 volts lower, the transfer switch always senses system voltage and determines if it is within pre set parameters before transferring to that load, in these cases a simple adjustment of the generator output voltage resolved the problem and the units began performing perfectly.

I hope you do not mind me posting.
I have just finished my first advice website on How to Buy a Generator called
www.whatgenerator.com and thought your website visitors might find the information useful.
I have spent 5 years in the generator industry, and have in-depth knowledge which I would like to pass on.
