ShenZhen Gene Power ATS-16A Automatic Transfer Switch

Introduction

This ATS product is designed with two independent power inlets to supply power to the load from a primary 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.

Important Safety Warnings

Before using the unit, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, this manual and the batteries.

WARNING!! The ATS must be connected to earth when in use.
In line with current regulations, only use the cables that have been supplied with the machine. The power supply socket must be easily accessible to the operator.

WARNING!! The ATS has been designed exclusively to operate indoors. It is advisable to install it in areas where no inflammable liquids or gases, or other harmful or noxious substances, have been stored.

ATTENTION!! A soft damp cloth may be used to clean the outside of the machine (always with the system disconnected from the mains power supply and users).

Do not use any type of solvent as this may damage the external finishing of the machine.

ATTENTION!! The ATS has been designed exclusively for professional use.
NOTE: These instructions may be modified by the wiring regulations in force in the country where the ATS is purchased.

Installation

NOTE: Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged.

Mounting the Unit

The unit can be mounted in a standard 19″ rack. Fasten the mounting brackets to the unit using the screws provided. With brackets attached securely, users can mount the unit in a standard 19″ rack as shown below.

NOTE: If the temperature around the unit will rise above 40 °C, ventilation is required

Connecting the Unit

For connecting the ATS, plug “input source A connector” and “input source B connector” to the two independent power sources or UPSs depending using the SCHUCKO-IEC or IEC-IEC 16A cables supplied. Plug the user load to the output 10A (“Output 1 and 2”) or 16A (“Output 3”) sockets depending on user’s requirements.

Operation

Power On/Off
Put the input power switch in “ON” position. The output will then be supplied by the source set as selected.

Setting priority of power source
It is possible to set the power source preference to supply the output by pushing the button of “source preference selector”. The default power source is “Source A”.

• Source A
• Source B

Communication Port

The ATS is supplied with the following communication ports:

• Serial port is available with RS232 com. port and USB com. port on the front panel.
  NOTE: the use of one port automatically excludes the other.

• Contacts port on the rear panel.

Serial Ports: RS-232& USB connectors

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).

The following diagram shows the functioning of the contacts port.

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

Trouble Shooting

Use the table below to solve minor problems.

The ATS with the mains voltage present, does don’t turn on.
(The LEDs does not flash and no alarm sounds.)| No connection with input plugs| Connect the mains to the input plugs as indicated in the installation section.
Input switch in “OFF” position| Turn the input switches in “ON” position.
Input power failure| Check that the mains voltage is present or check if the UPS supplying the ATS is powered on.
Protective device upstream activated| Reset the protective device. Warning: check that there is no overload or short-circuit at the output of the UPS.
The load is not powered.| No connection with output sockets| Connect the load to the output sockets
Intervention of 10A thermal protection| The thermal protection device will operate in the event of a short circuit or overload on one of the 10A output sockets. The thermal protection can be reset by pushing the button in which will result in the power being reconnected to the load. Therefore prior to attempting a reset of the thermal protection, please check the connected loads rating and/or determine if there are any problems. Then once reset, reconnect each load one at a time to ensure no problems exists.
The display shows nothing or provides incorrect information.| There is power supply problem in display.| Shut down the ATS completely and wait for a few seconds.
Switch the ATS on again, if the problem persists, contact the nearest technical support centre.
The display is off but the load is powered.| There is power supply problem in display.| Contact the nearest technical support centre.

If there is any abnormal situations occur, which doesn’t list above, please call the service people immediately for professional examine.
