PowerMax model PMTS - 30 Automatic Transfer Switch
30 amp - 120 VAC- 3rd. Generation
![]() The PMTS-30 automatic transfer switch automatically
switches from shore power to a secondary power source
when the secondary power source, a generator or inverter,
powers up.
The normal default state of the PMTS-30 allows shore power to
pass through to the circuit breaker or fuse box/distribution panel
of your vehicle.
When the time-delay board sees the second, or auxillary, power
source it breaks shore power (the power cord) and allows the
secondary power to pass through.
This isolates the two power sources.
The time-delay board is set at the factory for a 20 to 30 second transfer
delay once it sees the secondary power source come on-line.
This allows the generator to settle in to its operating speed and reduces the
possibility of generator produced voltage spikes coming through to your
power distribution panel.
Please note that on this model, the time-delay can be by-passed using
the switch shown on the time-delay board.
Wiring is simple and the housing has fifteen knock-outs.
You wire this unit the same as the discontinued IOTA Engineering
model ITS-30R.
Please click on the following link to see wiring diagrams
for the PMTS-30:
The molded enclosure is app. 9-5/16" wide by 8-7/8" tall
(including mounting feet) and 4-1/8" front to back.
Net weight is app. two pounds - six ounces.
Ships in a 12" by 12" by 9" box with a five pound ship weight.
PRICE: ( PMTS-30 ) $ 60.00 each

PowerMax mod. PMTS-50 Fourth Generation automatic
transfer switch.
The PMTS-50 Fourth Generation automatic transfer switch
automatically switches from shore power to a secondary power
source when the secondary power source, a generator or inverter,
powers up.
The normal default state of the PMTS-50 allows shore power to
pass through to the circuit breaker or fuse box/distribution panel
of your vehicle.
When the time-delay board sees the second, or auxillary, power
source it waits twenty to thirty seconcx, then breaks shore power
(the power cord) and allows the secondary power to pass through.
This isolates the two power sources.
As you will see in the pictures, this unit has two 50 amp coils.
Electrical Ratings:
The time-delay board is set at the factory for a 20 to 30 second transfer
delay once it sees the secondary power source come on-line.
This allows the generator to settle in to its operating speed and reduces the
possibility of generator produced voltage spikes coming through to your
power distribution panel.
Please note that the time-delay Can Not be shut off.
This is the easiest to wire automatic transfer switch we have seen.
The cable lugs accept up to 6 ga. wire.
The molded enclosure is app. 9-3/8" long
by 8-7/8 " tall (including mounting feet) and 4-9/16" front to back.
There are fourteen knock-outs for easy routing of wires.
Net weight is app. 4 pounds - 8 ounces.
Ships in a 12" by 12" by 9" box with a seven pound ship weight.

IOTA power distribution panels:
The IDP Series Distribution Panels provide both form and function for a variety of
electrical distribution requirements.
The lightweight wall-mount panel design is both good looking and unobtrusive.
This makes it the ideal for AC and/or DC distribution component for recreational
vehicles or any other application such as stand-by or off-grid use.
Each distribution panel is designed specifically for visible mounting and for easy
access.
The nonmetallic casing is lightweight and durable, providing the perfect solution
for any mounting situation.
mod. IDP-12 power distribution panel
![]() For larger images please click onto each picture.
Compatible with the 50 amp AC panel.
Faceplate dimensions: 3-3/4" by 13-3/4".
Extends 1-5/8" from back of face plate.
Cut-out required: app. 3-3/4" by 12".
Includes an opaque snap-in cover as seen in picture.
The IDP 12 Distribution Panel provides a central DC electrical distribution
for a 12 volt DC system.
Features include 24 fuse positions (outputs) with an LED on each circuit which
lights up to indicate when a fuse is blown on that circuit.
The IDP - 12 requires no internal wiring ,see photo of back.
The dual screw lugs are for positive power input connections and
accept up to 6 gauge wire.
The outputs are 1/4" female spade terminals - and require a 1/4" male
spade terminal (not included) which are available at most auto parts stores.
Accepts ATO or ATC automotive blade-type fuses or manually resettable
blade-type circuit breakers - fuses are NOT included.
Both the breakers and fuses are available at auto-parts stores.
These are only available in a black housing.
IOTA has discontinued these and they are limited to stock on hand.
Currently we have 1 in stock.
PRICE: ( IDP - 12 - 24 ) $ 60.00 each

Solar Converters Universal Generator Starter Solar Converters model GS - 1 AC Universal Generator Starter:
This Generator / Genset starter monitors the battery voltage and when
the battery voltage gets to its low setpoint, the unit starts the generator.
When the battery gets to its high setpoint, the unit stops the generator.
The generator may be remotely started and stopped by dry contact
closures or by its local toggle switch start / stop commands.
The setpoints may be temperature compensated with an optional remote
temperature sensor which we stock.
These are designed for starting AC generators which power a battery charger.
Many remote alternative energy powered telecommunications site use the
GS - 1AC.
The unit monitors the battery voltage and when the solar and / or wind
input falls short of maintaining the battery state of charge the GS-1AC
starts the generator and runs it until the battery bank comes up to
full charge and then shuts down the generator.
They are made in an open frame type which can be mounted in your
equipment or in an electrical enclosure as well as one that includes a
NEMA 3R weathertite enclosure.
Features:
> Single unit handles from 12 volt to 48 volt d.c. battery systems
> LED's indicate relay positions and generator status
> Temperature compensation (- 4 mv / deg. C. / cell ) on start and stop
voltages with the optional temperature sensor # TC - 2
> Remote start and stop controls as well as local start / stop control
> 20 second delay between on and start
> 5 second re-triggerable time delay on voltage sensing to prevent
false starts and stops
> Supports 2, 3 and 4 wire systems as well as advanced control systems
Electrical Specifications:
> Base Model: GS - 1
> Nominal battery voltages: 12 - 48 volt d.c.
> Maximum Input voltage: 63 volts d.c.
> Minimum Voltage: 10
> Relay: 8 amps @ 12/24 V,
2 amps @ 48 V and
5 amps @ 120 VAC rating of Potter & Brumfield T72 series relay
> Self Consumption (A):
Relay Power: 0.5 W per relay coil when powered, voltage independent
Quiescent less than 20 mA, Fusing 1A - internal electronics only
User Controls:
> Generator Stop Voltage
> Generator Start Voltage
> Manual start / stop switch overides remote smart stop control
> Remote start / stop
> Potentiometers and test points read 1/10 the voltage you wish to
start / stop the generator.
As example, if the generator is required to start at 23 volts, set the
potentionmeter for 2.3 volts.
