THE SOLLATEK AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE SWITCHER (AVS) RANGE The Sollatek Voltshield (AVS) range prevents damage to equipment from over and under voltage levels of any duration. They work by disconnecting power when voltage levels exceed set parameters. Reconnection takes place when power returns to normal.

AVS13 micro, AVS13 RL micro, AVS15 micro The AVS is an Automatic Voltage Switcher rated at 13 Amps (AVS13) or 15Amps (AVS15). The AVS will switch off the equipment connected to it if the mains power goes outside preset acceptable limits and will re-connect -automatically* - when the mains power returns to normal.

AVS30 micro The AVS30 micro is a single phase Automatic Voltage Switcher rated at 30 Amps. The AVS will switch off the equipment connected to it if the mains power goes outside pre-set acceptable limits, and will reconnect automatically when the mains power returns to normal. Reconnection takes place after a delay, to ensure stability of the mains.

OPERATION 1. Make sure that your load does not exceed the rating of the AVS which is 30Amps. 2. The limits of the AVS as a standard are set for a window of 190-260 volts. 3. The AVS has to be wired to the mains supply and to the equipment it is supplying. Please refer to the wiring diagram on page 9.

CONNECTION: CAUTION: IF THE AVS IS ALREADY WIRED, MAKE SURE IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING; 1. Remove the bottom cover to obtain access to connection terminals. To remove bottom cover remove the two white caps and then undo the two screws. 2.

AVS100 The is AVS100 is a single phase Automatic Voltage Switcher rated at 100 Amps. If the voltage goes above or below the pre-set limits (the ‘window’), then the AVS100 will switch off. Once the voltage returns within the window limits, the AVS will wait for a pre-set time, continuing to check the voltages, before automatically turning the load back on.

CONNECTION: CAUTION: IF THE AVS IS ALREADY WIRED, MAKE SURE IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING; Open the door to obtain access to connection terminals. Insert cable from the mains supply through the cable entry at the top of the box. AVS100 CONNECTION DIAGRAM AVS100 INPUT L (Live)

AVS3P-0 The AVS3P-0 is an Automatic Voltage Switcher designed to protect three phase loads from voltage fluctuations, over voltage, under voltage, surges, dips and frequent start/stops. The output is a single volt-free changeover contact, rated at 16A. This is intended to control an external contactor, control circuit, start/stop system or alarm.

Set limits of the AVS3P-0 using the thumb-wheel adjustment inside the terminal compartment. Ensure that limits set are safe for the load being protected. For example: Low =185V and High = 260V is normally considered safe for most equipment but you should check with the equipment manufacturer’s information.

AVS303 The AVS303 is a Three Phase Automatic Voltage Switcher which protects against over voltage and under voltage on any one of the three phases as well as loss of one or more phases. Indication and/or disconnection as a result of mains frequency error or phase sequence error is available as an option.
