The 8600 Controller is designed to support reliable, efficient power management across complex electrical systems. If your facility loses power, our automatic transfer switch controller instantly detects the failure, starts your backup generator, and signals the switch to safely reroute power. Built on a programmable logic controller (PLC) platform, the high-speed electronic controller continuously monitors the voltage and frequency of both the primary and alternate power sources.
Our controller provides clear, real-time visibility into system health via an LCD display and LED status indicators, allowing teams to quickly assess power conditions. When a power failure occurs, rapid diagnosis is essential. The 8600 Controller features data logging that records exactly what happened during a transfer. This valuable operational data helps maintenance teams efficiently identify root causes, significantly reducing troubleshooting time.
The Lake Shore 8600 Controller grows with your business, ensuring that your infrastructure can handle tomorrow's demands today. With simple Modbus integration and Ethernet expansion capabilities, your team can seamlessly connect the controller to existing remote annunciation panels and building management systems.
A critical automatic transfer switch controller must be both highly secure and adaptable to your environment. The 8600 Controller features a password-protected interface and a clear LCD display, ensuring that system statuses are immediately visible while protecting vital settings from unauthorized adjustments.
Because we specialize in custom power solutions, the 8600 includes factory-set PLC functions. This allows our engineers to program the exact logic required for your project's unique transfer schemes.
Waiting months for critical power equipment isn't just an inconvenience — it can drain your operational budget and create costly unplanned downtime. At Lake Shore Electric, we ensure that speed is built into our process.
Our extensive in-house inventory, combined with custom fabrication capabilities, allows us to dramatically reduce the long lead times that often cause delays in complex power projects. We do more than just pull products from a catalog — we deliver high-performance, custom transfer control solutions engineered to meet your exact specifications.
The new 8600 automatic transfer switch controller is the next generation of our legacy 7650, offering enhanced smart features without losing the rugged reliability we're known for. Contact our team for a quote on our 8600 controller.
