Model ATS-30A

Introduction

This ATS-30A product is designed with two independent power inlets to supply power to the load from a prima-ry power source. Should primary power source fail, the secondary will automatically back up the connected equipment without any interruption. The transfer time from one line to another is seamless to the connected equipment. After switching to a secondary power source, the ATS can also switch power back to the primary input when power to the primary input is restored.

PLEASE NOTE
The utilization of the communication port is optional and it is not necessary for the correct functioning of the ATS.

Contact Ports
The contacts port is formed using six (6) pins numbered from left to right (see fig. 1), which can be connected to an external monitoring system (such as a BMS) in order to monitor the operational status of the ATS. The external equipment must respect the voltage and current characteristics of contacts port.

The contacts port provides the following pins:

• Pin 1: common contact.
• Pin 2: “Source B” active contact (if the contact between “pin 1” and “pin 2” is closed, output is supplied by “Source B”).
• Pin 3: “Source A” active contact (if the contact between “pin 3” and “pin 1” is closed, output is supplied by “Source A”).
• Pin 4: “Source A” status OK contact (if the contact between “pin 4” and “pin 1” is closed, “Source A” is present and regular).
• Pin 5: “Source B” status OK contact (if the contact between “pin 5” and “pin 1” is closed, “Source B” is present and regular).
• Pin 6: Status OK contact (if the contact between “pin 6” and “pin 1” is closed, ATS functioning status is regular).

(if the contact between “pin 6” and “pin 1” is closed, ATS functioning status is regular).

ATTENTION
The pins of the contact port are able to carry maximum current of 8A and maximum voltage of 250Vac.
