Introduction The ATL800 control unit implements state-of-the-art functions required for automatic transfer applications. The system incorporates a unique series of hardware and software features which guarantee high flexibility, e.g. management of three supply source lines and two tie breakers, graphic display, double power supply, expansion modules, programmable system layout, integrated PLC etc., for use in a wide variety of possible conditions of application, all of which can be programmed by the user.
Energising the equipment ATL800 has two power supplies: 100-240VAC or 12-24-48VDC. Priority is given to the AC power if both are present at the same time. The equipment is normally set to the OFF mode when it is switched on. Modify parameter P01.03 in the M01 Utility menu if the operating mode selected before switch-off must be maintained.
Password protected access The password is used to enable or block access to the setting menu and the command menu. The password is deactivated and access is free on new equipment (default). If the passwords are enabled, they must be entered to access the equipment (the passwords are numeric).

Expandability With its expansion bus, the ATL800 can be expanded with the additional modules of the EXP…. series. Up to three EXP… modules can be installed at the same time. The EXP… modules supported by the ATL800 are divided into the following categories:...
The communication channels may operate at the same time. By activating the Gateway function, it is possible to have an ATL800 equipped with an Ethernet port and the basic RS-485 port which works as a ‘bridge’ towards the other devices provided with the RS-485 port only, so obtain a saving (one Ethernet access point only).
See settings menu M21 for alarm definition. PLC logic (PLCx) Xpress can be set using a ladder program for creating a PLC internal logic inside the ATL800, so as to be able to freely create any function necessary for genset accessory applications.

P04.04 - Tripping delay between MIN and MAX battery alarms. P04.05-P04.06-P04.07- Serial communication enabling between ATL800 and any BCG…RS series communicating battery chargers. It allows to read the voltages, charging currents and alarms concerning the corresponding battery charger and to view information on the dedicated video page. ‘Local’ means the battery charger connected to the battery which powers the ATL800 in DC.

P08.17 - Maximum phase angle difference between the two sources to be synchronised. P08.18 - Minimum simultaneous dwell time between the three previous conditions before the synchronism is considered reliable. P08.19 - Maximum waiting time for the synchronisation conditions. After this time, an open transition is performed. P08.20 - Instantaneous parallel time in closed transition.

Alarms When an alarm occurs, an alarm icon will appear on the display together with an ID code and the description of the alarm in the selected language. If the page navigation buttons are pressed, the pop-up window with the alarm indications momentarily disappear and then reappear after a few seconds. ...
Description of the alarms CODE DESCRIPTION REASON FOR THE ALARM Battery voltage too low Battery voltage under minimum threshold for a time longer than set. Battery voltage too high Battery voltage under maximum threshold for a time longer than set. BRK1 breaker timeout Breaker BRK1 of line SRC1 did not perform the opening or closing operation before the timeout.
Start genset 1 In AUT mode, when closed, overrides starting of genset 1. Start genset 2 As above, referred to genset 2. Emergency NC contact which, if open, opens all the breakers and generates alarm A14 Emergency (block property of A14 are priority) . Line SRC1 genset ready When closed, indicates that the genset connected to the SRC1 line is available for use.
As above, referred to SRC2. Siren Powers the acoustic warning siren. Operative mode Output energised when the ATL800 is in one of the modes set with parameter P14.03. OFF mode Energised when ATL800 is in OFF mode. MAN mode Energised when ATL800 is in MANUAL mode.
Installation ATL800 is designed to be flat panel mounted. Frontal protection of IP65 is guaranteed with correct assembly and optional sealing. Insert the system in the panel hole making sure that the seal, if present, is correctly positioned between the panel and instrument frame.
