4. Operating Instructions

The HAT560NB controller offers both automatic and manual operation modes, accessible via its front panel buttons and LCD display.

4.1 Power On and Initial Display

Upon powering on, the LCD will display system information, including voltage and frequency readings for both power sources. The backlight ensures visibility in various lighting conditions.

4.2 Mode Selection

• Automatic Mode: The controller automatically monitors the power sources and initiates transfer based on pre-set parameters and detected abnormalities (e.g., over/under voltage, frequency deviations, phase loss).
• Manual Mode: Allows the user to manually control the opening or closing of the transfer switches. This mode is typically used for testing or specific operational requirements.

4.3 Parameter Setting

All operational parameters can be configured directly on the unit using the push-buttons and LCD interface. Access to parameter settings is protected by a two-level password system to prevent unauthorized changes. Refer to the detailed programming guide (not included in this manual) for specific parameter definitions and adjustment procedures.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your HAT560NB ATS Controller.

• Cleaning: Keep the controller's exterior clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connection Checks: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or system failures.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage to internal components.

For any internal maintenance or repairs, contact qualified service personnel.
