1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your Huayong Double Power Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) 2P100A. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure proper function and to prevent potential hazards. Keep this manual for future reference.
2. Product Overview
The Huayong Double Power Automatic Transfer Switch is designed to automatically switch between a primary (city) power supply and a backup power supply when the primary source becomes unavailable or unstable. This ensures continuous power to critical loads, enhancing reliability and safety.
Key Features:
- Superior Quality: The switch housing is constructed from flame-retardant material, offering flame resistance, ruggedness, and corrosion resistance. It features all-copper silver point contacts for excellent conductivity and high connection efficiency.
- Automatic Transfer: When the city power supply is abnormal, the backup power supply activates immediately. Upon restoration of city power, the switch automatically reverts to the primary source.
- Fast Switching: Designed for rapid power transfer with a switching time of less than 50ms.
- Application: Specifically designed for home track TV installation and suitable for Pz30 distribution boxes.
- Wide Range of Applicable: Suitable for use in residential neighborhoods, commercial buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, and schools.

3. Safety Information
WARNING: Installation and maintenance of this device involve high voltage electricity. Improper installation or handling can result in serious injury, death, or property damage. Always adhere to local electrical codes and safety regulations.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician or authorized service personnel.
- Ensure all power sources are disconnected and locked out before performing any installation, wiring, or maintenance.
- Verify correct wiring connections to prevent short circuits or improper operation.
- Do not operate the switch if it appears damaged or if any components are missing.
- The coil can work normally at 85%-110% of the rated working voltage. Too low input voltage may cause the coil to overheat and burn out.
- Keep children and unauthorized personnel away from the installation area.

5.3 Wiring:
Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product for specific connection details. General wiring steps include:
- Connect the primary (city) power supply to the designated 'Common Power Supply' terminals.
- Connect the backup power supply (e.g., generator) to the designated 'Backup Power Supply' terminals.
- Connect the load circuits to the 'Load' terminals of the ATS.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Double-check all wiring against the diagram before restoring power.

6. Operating Instructions
The Huayong ATS features both automatic and manual operation modes.
6.1 Automatic Mode:
- Set the selector switch on the front panel to the 'Automatic' position.
- In this mode, the ATS will continuously monitor the primary power supply.
- If the primary power fails or becomes unstable, the ATS will automatically transfer the load to the backup power supply.
- Once the primary power is restored and stable, the ATS will automatically transfer the load back to the primary power supply.
6.2 Manual Mode:
- Set the selector switch on the front panel to the 'Manual' position.
- In manual mode, the power transfer is controlled by the user.
- Use the directional handle to manually switch between the primary and backup power sources as needed. Follow the 'Direction' arrow for proper operation.
- CAUTION: Ensure that the backup power source is stable and ready before manually transferring the load to it.
6.3 Indicator Lights:
The ATS is equipped with indicator lights (e.g., 'Common power supply', 'Backup power supply') to show which power source is currently active or available. Consult the product labeling for specific indicator meanings.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your ATS. Always disconnect all power sources before performing any maintenance.
- Periodic Inspection: Annually inspect the ATS for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
- Cleaning: Keep the ATS free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Terminal Check: Periodically check all wiring terminals to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause overheating and potential hazards.
- Functional Test: Periodically test the automatic transfer function by temporarily disconnecting the primary power supply to ensure the switch transfers to backup power and back again when primary power is restored.
