  • Page 34: Operating Instructions

    When utility supply voltage drops below a preset nominal value (70 – 99% of rated adjustable) on any phase, an engine start delay circuit will be initiated. Following expiry of the engine start delay period (0 - 60 sec. adjustable) an engine start signal (contact closure) will be given.

    When utility supply voltage drops below a preset nominal value (70 - 99% of nominal, adjustable) on any phase, an engine start delay circuit will be initiated. Following expiry of the engine start delay period (0 - 60 sec. adjustable) an engine start signal (contact closure) will be given.
  • Page 36: Test Mode Sequence Of Operation

    When the utility supply voltage is restored to above the present values (70 - 99% of rated adjustable) on all phases, a re-transfer sequence will be initiated once the Utility Return timer expires. The utility will close its power-switching device when it is in synchronism with the generator supply via external logic device.

  • Page 38: Abnormal Sequence Of Operation

    6.1.4.1. GENERATOR FAILURE ON LOAD Should the generator set fail while on load, the transfer switch shall re-transfer the load back to the utility supply if within nominal limits. The utility return timer will be bypassed in this condition. NOTE: This operating condition applies to a normal utility failure as well as any test condition.
  • Page 39 The following LCD operation is provided in TSC 800 Software version 2.0 (or higher). SLEEP Mode: The LCD display will automatically turn off and go in to a “sleep” mode to preserve operating life time. The sleep mode will be activated if a faceplate key press is not activated within a 16 minute time period.

    The engine will remain operating until the stop time is reached, then the load will re-transfer back to the utility supply after the utility return timer has expired. The generator will repeat the test sequence as programmed.
  • Page 42 Engine Start: remain on until the FTS4 is placed in another position. The engine will start if the engine’s auto start controller is in the ”Auto” mode. If the primary source fails in this mode, and the secondary source is within parameters, the TSC 800 will initiate a transfer to the secondary source.

  • Page 44: Manual Utility Re-Transfer

    When the TSC 800 is programmed with Phase Balance protection enabled, should a transfer occur due to an out of limit phase balance condition, an alarm message will be shown on the TSC 800 LCD display “UTIL (or GEN) UNBALANCED”. The Phase Balance feature may be user programmed to provide two different re-transfer operating sequences (i.e.
  • Page 45: Programming Instructions

    The reason the re-transfer is inhibited is phase unbalance is generally only detected when load is applied to the source and the condition will appear to clear when the load is removed, as such allowing a re-transfer to the failed source previously determined to have a phase balance fault will only result in multiple unnecessary transfers of the load between sources.
