Description of Controls 5.3 CONTROLS 5.3.1 MODE SELECTION NOTE:- Icons only apply when display mode in the software programme is set to `icons` This button selects the preferred mode of operation. to complete the selection press the button. Automatic mode. This mode allows the module to control the function of the load switching completely automatically.
Operation 6 OPERATION 6.1 AUTOMATIC MODE OF OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to external panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the instruments is NOT affected by panel lock. Activate auto mode by pressing the mode button until Auto is selected and then press the button to confirm.
Operation 6.2 MANUAL OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock. Manual mode allows the operator to change the state of the load switching devices. 6.2.1 STARTING SEQUENCE NOTE:- There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
Operation 6.3 TEST ON OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock. Test mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state of the load switching devices.
Operation 6.4 LOAD SWITCHING CONTROL The following timing diagrams detail the differences between the load switching control options. 6.4.1 BREAKER SCHEME A NOTE : S2 Closed Auxiliary and S1 Closed Auxiliary inputs do not affect the operation of the load switching in Breaker Scheme A 6.4.2 S1 / S2 LOAD INHIBIT...
Operation 6.4.5 BREAKER SCHEME B Breaker Scheme B is intended only for use with certain designs of transfer switch. If you are using contactors, you MUST select Breaker Scheme A. 6.4.5.1 CHECK SYNCHRONISING IS DISABLED 6.4.5.1.1 TRANSFERRING TO S2 To open S2 breaker the Open S1 output energises, it then de-energises when the S1 Closed Auxiliary indicates it has successfully opened, or after 1s whichever occurs first.
Operation 6.4.5.2 CHECK SYNCHRONISING IS ENABLED NOTE : The module waits indefinitely for synchronisation unless the ‘Return to programmed transition’ function is active in which case after 2 minutes it performs a non-sync transfer as described in the previous section. NOTE : The transfer time is ignored during a check-sync but is used if the transfer fails and it performs a non-sync transfer.
Protections 7 PROTECTIONS 7.1 S2 The 331 ATS module monitors the S2 supply to ensure that it remains within configured levels. If the S2 supply fails, it is taken off load and the start/run signal is be removed. S2 failure S2 has not become available after the period of the S2 Failure timer has expired.
Front Panel Configuration 8 FRONT PANEL CONFIGURATION This configuration mode allows the operator limited customising of the way the module operates. Use the module’s navigation buttons to traverse the menu and make value changes to the parameters: Next page Edit /Accept Increase value / next item value.
