3. Product Overview
The JFZTPVAK TU510A is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) controller for diesel generators, featuring a user-friendly interface and robust connectivity options.
3.1 Front Panel

Image Description: This image displays the front face of the TU510A control panel. It features two red digital displays on the upper right, likely for voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) readings. Below these are graphical indicators for L1, L2, L3 phases and generator/mains status. At the bottom, there are six push-buttons labeled 'AUTO', 'MAN', 'TEST', 'TO MAINS', 'TO GENSET', and 'L TEST', indicating various operational modes and testing functions. The panel is black with clear white and green labels.
3.2 Rear Panel and Connections

Image Description: This image shows the rear of the TU510A control panel, revealing multiple green terminal blocks for electrical connections. These blocks are clearly numbered (e.g., 1-7, 8-9, 10-16, 17-27) for various inputs and outputs. A DB9 'RS-CONNECTOR' is visible on the upper right, indicating serial communication capability. A 'Q.A. PASS' sticker is also present, signifying quality assurance. A label with Chinese text provides connection details.
4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the TU510A control panel. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a certified electrician or qualified technician.
4.1 Mounting
- Mount the control panel in a secure, dry location, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or vibration.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Use appropriate fasteners to secure the panel to a stable surface.
4.2 Wiring Connections
Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your unit and the rear panel image for specific terminal assignments. General connections include:
- Power Supply: Connect the main power supply to the designated terminals.
- Generator Connections: Connect the generator output to the appropriate terminals.
- Mains Connections: Connect the utility (mains) power input to the relevant terminals.
- Engine Control: Connect engine start/stop, fuel, and other control signals.
- Sensors: Connect oil pressure, water temperature, and other necessary sensors.
- Communication: If applicable, connect the RS-CONNECTOR for remote monitoring or configuration.
Important: Double-check all connections for polarity and secure fastening before applying power.
5. Operating Instructions
The TU510A control panel offers several operating modes:
- AUTO Mode: Press the AUTO button. In this mode, the controller automatically monitors the mains power. If mains power fails, the controller will start the generator, transfer the load, and reverse the process when mains power returns.
- MAN (Manual) Mode: Press the MAN button. In manual mode, the generator can be started and stopped manually using the appropriate controls. Load transfer is also initiated manually.
- TEST Mode: Press the TEST button. This mode allows for testing the generator's operation without necessarily transferring the load.
5.1 Load Transfer Buttons
- TO MAINS: Manually transfers the load from the generator to the mains supply.
- TO GENSET: Manually transfers the load from the mains supply to the generator.
5.2 Display Readings
The digital displays on the front panel typically show:
- V: Voltage readings (e.g., mains voltage, generator voltage).
- Hz: Frequency readings (e.g., mains frequency, generator frequency).
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your TU510A control panel.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
- Environmental Check: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
7. Troubleshooting
If the control panel is not functioning as expected, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Check the main power supply to the control panel and all associated fuses or circuit breakers.
- Generator Not Starting: Verify fuel levels, battery charge, and engine start/stop wiring. Check for any active alarms on the panel.
- Load Not Transferring: Ensure both mains and generator power are stable and within acceptable parameters. Check transfer switch wiring.
- Incorrect Readings: Verify sensor connections and calibration if applicable.
For persistent issues, contact qualified technical support.
