Chapter 1 Overview Chapter 1 Overview Series 230 C1000 Intelligent Controller (hereinafter referred to as Controller) is used to control the Series 230 transfer switch. The Controller is designed to control two sources. When either source has over voltage, low voltage, failure, or abnormal frequency, the Controller will instruct the transfer switch to transfer to a better source or transfer to the center-off position in order to protect the load.
Chapter 1 Overview When there are abnormalities with both Source I and Source II, the transfer switch will transfer the load to the center-off position to protect the load from getting damaged. Built in abnormal transfer diagnosis capabilities in order to protect the transfer switch. Many settable options, including over/under voltage, over/under frequency for both sources, and switching time delays.
