Warning
Thank you for selecting an EATON
product to protect your equipment.
You have chosen a STS to ensure the
high availability of your IT systems,
i-e more than 1500 transferts between
the preferred source and the alternate
source.
This STS benefits from a 2 year warranty.
This warranty is valid if you comply with
the following specifications (*) :
Only the computational load can bez
connected to the STS, all the others
types of loads (resistive, inductive or
crest factor >3:1 ) are not covered by the
warranty
The length of the cable between the
z
source (UPS or transformer) and the
STS must be at minimum 50 m, with a
maximum cross-section of 6 mm².
For that reason the Canalis busbar
type does not comply with the STS
specifications.
The 2 sources must be synchronized
z
and you should prevent the phase/neutral
inversion. A desynchronisation (signaled
by the "Site wiring fault" indication LED)
betweeen the two phases of the sources
is a cause of premature ageing of the
STS components.
(*) Don't concern sources and UPS below
6 KVA.

Function
EATON developed STS to guarantee the
uninterrupted operation of your sensitive
equipment. The STS source transfer
switch is a simple and effective solution
to manage the redundancy provided by
two independent power sources.
STS handles the automatic or manual
transfer of your loads between two
independent power sources without
interrupting the supply of power (< 6
milliseconds). Either of the two sources
may be designated as the preferred
source with the other becoming the
alternate source. In the event of a
failure, transfer from one to the other is
automatic and instantaneous.
Automatic transfer to the alternate
source takes place if the voltage of the
preferred source goes outside a tolerance
of 12 % above or below the nominal
value. Return to the preferred source
is automatic when the voltage returns
within the ±12 % tolerance range.
To provide a maximum level of
protection for the connected sensitive
equipment, both power sources should
be on-line type UPSs. However, the STS
module can also be supplied by one UPS
and another type of source, or by two
non-UPS sources providing a sinusoidal
output (AC system, engine generator set,
etc.).

Installation
Setting the input voltage
Before making any connections, make
sure that the sources selected to
supply the STS are compatible with its
characteristics.
STS 16: 208 V - 220 V - 230 V - 240 V.
STS 1400: 120 V.
The factory input voltage setting for STS
16 is 230 V. If necessary, set the voltage
to another value (208 V, 220 V, 230 V or
240 V) using the voltage selector 14 (see
figure 3).
In the event of an electrical fault, a circuit
breaker on each of the source inputs
protects the STS module.
The voltage selector 14 may be
used only when the STS module
is de-energized, i.e. power
cables 7not connected to the
sources.
Once the module has been correctly set
up, connect the two power cables 7to
the two sources.
To facilitate the upstream connection
from the STS 16 to a FR or Schuko
socket, EATON provides, as option, a
2 power cable kit IEC C 19/FR-Schuko
male inlet, 1,90 m length whose part
number is 66397.

Installation
On a flat surface
Figure 5 shows how to attach the
adhesive footpads under the STS module
for installation on a flat surface.
Fig. 5
Fig. 4
Rack mounting
Figure 4 shows how to install the STS
module in a 19-inch bay using the four
M6 bolts and the cage nuts positioned
at the desired height in the cabinet
uprights.
The module is not as wide as the bay
and therefore does not obstruct the flow
of air.
If the temperature inside the
bay can rise above 35 °C,
ventilation is required. If this is
not possible, the STS module
should be installed outside the
bay.

51027617EN/AI - Page 9
Connections
Connect the power cables 7to the two
electrical sources (S1 and S2) supplying
STS.
Connection to UPSs
Connect the power cables 7to one of
the output sockets on each UPS.
STS is energized as soon as one of the
sources (S1 or S2) is in operation.
The UPSs must have the same
characteristics (power rating,
autonomy) and be of the
"ON-LINE double conversion"
topology.
In the event of redundancy
achieved using two "Evolution"
type UPSs, consult us.

Communication
Use of the communications ports on the
STS module is optional and not required
for correct operation of the module.
STS is equipped as standard with a Basic
communications port for incoming data
from both sources S1 and S2 (both UPSs
must have a free Basic port), as well as
with an STS COM communications port.
Basic communication
For a High Availability Pack configuration,
the Basic STS communications port
receives the data from both UPS sources
S1 and S2. To activate the port, it is
necessary to connect the UPS S1 and
UPS S2 communications ports on the
module to the Basic communications
ports on the UPSs S1 and S2, using the
cables supplied with STS (see figure 7).
The Basic port of the STS always
forwards the status information provided
by the Basic port of the UPS currently
supplying the equipment.

Fig. 9
UPS with "Protocol Interface"
(option)
This option converts Basic type
information into the RS232 serial
protocol. It is then possible to use the
administration and system shutdown
capabilities of Solution Pac software.
Breaking capacity of relays:
V max = 30 V
I max = 100 mA
NO = normally open,
NC = normally closed.
MultiSlot (optional)
When the MultiSlot option is installed,
the STS and the two UPSs act as a one.
MultiSlot, equipped with two MetaUPS
acquisition cards, concentrates the data
coming from the U-Talk ports on the
UPSs and from the STS COM port on
STS. Communication with the protected
systems is optimized through use of a
U-Talk, J-Bus or SNMP card.
In this case, the protected application will
shutdown only when all available energy
has disappeared, i.e. the batteries on
both UPSs have been depleted. See the
MultiSlot user manual for information on
connections.
STS COM communication
This communications port 13 supplies
status information on STS.

pin 1 – frame earth,
z
pin 4 – source S2 preferred,z
pin 5 – common,z
pin 6 – source S1 within tolerances,z
pin 7 – source S2 within tolerances,z

Avertissement
EATON vous remercie de votre
confiance. Vous avez choisi STS pour
assurer la haute disponibilité de vos
équipements informatiques, soit plus de
1500 manœuvres entre source prioritaire
et source de réserve.
La garantie légale sur cet appareil est
de 2 ans. Elle ne couvre que les cas
d'utilisation respectant les préconisations
suivantes (*) :
Seules les charges informatiquesz
peuvent être protégées par la gamme
STS, tout autre type de charge (résistive,
inductive ou à facteur de crête >3:1 )
étant à exclure.
La distance minimale entre la source
z
(Alimentation Sans Interruption ou
transformateur) et STS doit être au
minimum de 50 m, avec une section
maximale de 6 mm2.
Les circuits de type Canalis sont à
exclure.
Les 2 sources d'alimentation doivent
z
être en phase (attention à l'inversion
Phase/Neutre) : une désynchronisation
(signalée par le voyant "Site wiring fault")
ou un écart de phase entre les 2 sources
est un facteur d'usure prématurée des
éléments de transfert.
(*) ne s'applique pas aux sources et
onduleurs inférieurs à 6 KVA.

Fonction
Pour garantir le fonctionnement
ininterrompu de vos équipements
sensibles, EATON a développé STS.
Le système de transfert de source STS
offre une réponse simple et efficace en
gérant la redondance d'alimentation à
partir de deux sources indépendantes.
STS permet un transfert sans coupure
(< 6 milisecondes), automatique ou
commandé manuellement, depuis
une source d'alimentation principale
(dite aussi prioritaire) vers une source
d'alimentation secondaire (dite source
de réserve). Vous êtes libre de choisir
la source désignée comme prioritaire,
l'autre source devenant "réserve".
En cas de défaillance, le transfert est
automatique et instantané.
Il y a basculement automatique sur la
source de réserve lorsque la tension de
la source prioritaire s'écarte de plus de
12 % de la valeur nominale. Le retour
sur la source prioritaire s'effectue
automatiquement lorsque cette tension
revient à l'intérieur de la tolérance ±12 %.
Caractéristiques
Les caractéristiques du module STS sont
les suivantes :
versions 208/220/230/240 V (tensionz
d'entrée) : STS 16,
version 120 V (tension d'entrée) :
z
STS 1400,
courant d'entrée : 16 A (
zSTS 16), ou
12 A (STS 1400),
protection par disjoncteurs thermiques
z
16 A ou 12 A selon les versions,
seuil de basculement entre source
z
prioritaire et source de réserve : ±12 %,
température maximale d'utilisation :
z
35°C,
dimensions : 1U x 19"
z
(44,45 x 482,6 mm),

Pour garantir une protection maximale
des équipements sensibles raccordés, les
deux sources seront de préférence deux
ASI (Alimentation Sans Interruptions) de
type "on line".
Le module STS peut aussi être alimenté
par une ASI et une autre source ou
par deux autres sources alternatives
sinusoÎdales (réseau électrique, groupe
électrogène, ...).
