Many thanks again Mac and Wrenches,
This is now put to bed with confirmation the only listed 200A ATS that will
work without a 12V switching controller that I could find around the $1k
mark is indeed the Kohler RDT series.

Many thanks for that August, I will check out that link in more detail,
looking like a good price point, much appreciated for that!
Believe it or not, Briggs was bought out by a conglomerate, Japanese I
think, and the Briggs brand purchased Simpliphi batteries, so those nice
LiFe units are now bra
Thanks for that Mac, very good to know, I have not been able to source and
RDT yet, can only find RXTs, will check with my local Kholer tech friend.
Cheers!
Sunniest regards,

Hi Stuart,
The Kohler RDT switch is a much better switch for what you are doing; it is
a power seeking switch with no accessory device communication needed. It
is more expensive than the RXT switch because it has its own brain board.
A Kohler tech can adjust the delays for you if needed but the d
Hi Stuart,
Got it, now I see you're working with the MidNite AIO. This ATS topic came
up not too long ago and I posted that we used to have success with Briggs &
Stratton ATS units back when we were installing SMA Sunny Island systems.
The Briggs unit does not need a control from an external sourc
Much appreciated August,
Yes, that fancy Enphase System Controller is a nice piece of kit, overseen
a few of those and it is nice they pass through the grid power if there is
an issue, most of the time.

I'm in love with the MN AIO, the build quality is impressive and great
value for money, wit
Thanks Jerry, very good to know.
So the Kohler RXT ATS would automatically switch from Primary to Back up as
soon as power is lost of primary?
The documentation suggests that it 'must be connected to a generator set
equipped with the Kohlerr RDC2 or DC2 generator/transfer switch controller'

Hi Stuart -
Many grid tied PV/ESS manufacturers (Enphase, SolarEdge, Franklin, Tesla to
name a few) now have a Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID) that essentially
acts as a smart transfer switch thus eliminating the need for a 3rd party
automatic transfer switch. What brands equipment are you loo

Asco and kohler both are good, and have used them on AC coupled systems
with great success. Ya l know AC coupled is not the ideal but in
retrofitting it's very common unless you also can replace the inverter with
something like Solark.
