4.1. ATyS FT (fast transfer) switching mechanism The ATyS FT is a I-II position UL 1008 transfer switch, available from 100 to 400A. Here is a view of the customer accessible elements on the switching mechanism: 1. Plastic cover for off load manual operation 2.
The ATyS C66 controller is an ATS controller designed to function as an emergency system automatic transfer switch when used with the ATyS FT and ATyS DT switching mechanism. In this instruction manual we will go over the basic settings for the association of the ATyS C66 with the ATyS FT switch, for moreinformationonthedetailedconfigurationoftheC66downloadthefollowinginstructionsheet: https://www.socomec.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ATYS-C66-INSTRUCTION-MANUAL_INSTRUCTION-...
4.3. ATyS FT Cable Harness The ATyS FT is delivered with a wiring harness, which includes all connections points for sensing, supply voltage to the coils and controller, and input/outputs from the switch mechanism to the controller. Cable harnesses are in compliance with pollution degree III.

4.4. Optional accessories The accessories listed below are not included in the ATyS FT kit and must be ordered separately. Terminal screens Top and bottom terminal screens to protect from direct contact to the terminals. These protection screens can be locked and secured on the switch, are pre-cut for all compatible wire sizes and include holes for voltage and heat sensing.
For the connection between the controller and the accessories and between modules, a RJ45 Digiware cable is needed. There are different sizes available: Length (m) Quantity Reference 4829 0181 4829 0188 4829 0182 4829 0183 4829 0184 4829 0186 4829 0187 50 m reel + 100 connectors 4829 0185 ATyS FT - 549867A - SOCOMEC...
