5.2 Installation Steps

1. Mounting: Securely mount the ATS to a stable surface using appropriate screws. Ensure the mounting orientation (vertical or horizontal) allows for proper access and ventilation.
2. Power Source 1 Connection: Connect the primary power source (Common Firewire, Common Neutral Line) to the designated terminals on the ATS.
3. Power Source 2 Connection: Connect the secondary/standby power source (Standby Firewire, Standby Neutral Line) to its designated terminals.
4. Load Connection: Connect the load circuit to the output terminals of the ATS.
5. Control Circuit Connection: Connect any necessary control wiring as per the wiring diagram.
6. Verification: Double-check all connections for tightness and correctness before applying power.

6. Operating Instructions

The ATS offers both automatic and manual operation modes.

6.1 Automatic Mode

1. Set the control switch to the "Auto" position.
2. The ATS will continuously monitor both power sources.
3. If the primary power source fails or drops below acceptable levels, the ATS will automatically switch the load to the secondary power source within 2 seconds.
4. When the primary power source is restored, the ATS will automatically switch the load back to the primary source (automatic recovery).
5. Indicator lights will show the active power source (e.g., "Un Non" for primary, "Ur Ron" for secondary).

6.2 Manual Mode

1. Set the control switch to the "Manual" position.
2. In manual mode, the transfer between power sources is controlled by the manual handle.
3. Rotate the handle to select the desired power source (e.g., "N" for normal/primary, "R" for reserve/secondary).
4. Ensure the handle is fully engaged in the selected position.
5. Manual operation should only be performed by trained personnel.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your ATS. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

• Periodic Inspection: Visually inspect the unit for any signs of damage, loose connections, or overheating at least once every six months.
• Cleaning: Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Terminal Tightness: Periodically check and tighten all electrical connections to prevent arcing and overheating.
• Functional Test: Test the automatic transfer function periodically by simulating a primary power failure (if safe to do so and permitted by your system design).
