Description of Controls 5.3 CONTROLS 5.3.1 MODE SELECTION This button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode allows the module to control the function of the load switching completely automatically. The module monitors the remote start input and S1 supply status and once a start request is made,S2 is placed on load.
Operation 6 OPERATION 6.1 AUTOMATIC MODE OF OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock. Activate auto mode by pressing the Auto pushbutton. Auto mode will allow the transfer system to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping the generator as required with no user intervention.
Operation 6.2 MANUAL OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock. Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state of the load switching devices.
Operation 6.3 TEST ON LOAD OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock. Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state of the load switching devices.

The backlight will be on if the unit has sufficient voltage on the power connection while the unit is turned on. 7.2 PROTECTIONS 7.2.1 S2 The 334 ATS module monitors S2 supply to ensure that it remains within configured levels. If 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.
Protections 7.2.3 PLANT BATTERY Plant battery alarms are Warning alarms only. The module displays the fault but no further action is taken. Under Voltage warning The battery supply is below the configured Under Voltage warning level. Under Voltage warning The battery supply is above the configured Over Voltage warning level.
