1. General Safety Instructions
• This manual provides instructions on safety, connections and operation of the HIC4xxA Automatic
Transfer Switching Equipment.
• Whether the HIC4xxA is sold as a loose product, as a spare, as an enclosed solution or as any other
configuration, this device must always be installed and commissioned by qualified and experienced
personnel, in line with the manufacturers recommendations, following good engineering practices and
after having read and understood the details in the latest release of the relative product instruction
manual.
• Maintenance on the product and any other associated equipment including but not limited to servicing
operations must be performed by adequately trained and qualified personnel.
• Each product is shipped with a label or other form of marking including rating and other important
specific product information. One must also refer to and respect markings on the product prior to
installation and commissioning for values and limits specific to that product.
• Using the product outside the intended scope, outside Hager recommendations or outside the
specified ratings and limits can cause personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
• This instruction manual must be made accessible so as to be easily available to anyone who may
need to read it in relation with the HIC4xxA.
• The HIC4xxA meets the European Directives governing this type of product and includes CE marking
on each product.
• No covers other than that for auto/manu on the HIC4xxA should be opened (with or without voltage)
as there may still be dangerous voltages inside the product such as those from external circuits.
• Do not handle any control or power cables connected to the HIC4xxA when voltage may be present
on the product directly through the mains or indirectly through external circuits.
• Voltages associated with this product may cause injury, electric shock, burns or death. Prior to carry
out any maintenance or other work on live parts or other parts in the vicinity of exposed live parts,
ensure that the switch including all control and associated circuits are de-energized.
• As a minimum the HIC4xxA comply with the following international standards:
- IEC 60947-6-1
- GB 14048-11
- EN 60947-6-1
- VDE 0660-107
- BS EN 60947-6-1
- NBN EN 60947-6-1
- IEC 60947-3
- IS 13947-3
- EN 60947-3
- NBN EN 60947-3
- BS EN 60947-3

2. Introduction
HIC4xxA “Automatic Transfer Switching Equipment” (ATSE) is designed for use in power systems for
the safe transfer of a load supply between a normal and an alternate source. The changeover is done in
open transition and with minimum supply interruption during transfer ensuring full compliance with IEC
60947-6-1, GB 14048-11 and other international TSE standards as listed.
The HIC4xxA is a full load break (switch type) derived transfer switching equipment where the main
components are proven technology devices also fulfilling requirements in IEC 60947-3 standards.
As a Class PC ATSE, the HIC4xxA is capable of “making and withstanding short circuit currents”
assigned to IEC 60947-3 utilization categories of up to AC23A, GB 14048-11, IEC 60947-6-1 and
equivalent standards with utilization categories of up to AC33B.
HIC4xxA transfer switches ensure:
• Power Control and Safety between a normal and an alternate source.
• A complete product delivered as a fully assembled and tested solution.
• Intuitive HMI for emergency / local operation.
• Integrated and robust switch disconnection.
• Window with clearly visible position indication I – 0 - II.
• An inherent failsafe mechanical interlock.
• Stable positions (I – 0 – II) non affected by typical vibration and shocks.
• Constant pressure on the contacts non affected by network voltage.
• Energy Efficient with virtually no consumption whilst on the normal, alternate or off positions.
• Extremely rugged, error free and built in padlocking facility (configurable).
• Straight forward installation with effective ergonomics.
• Simple motorization control interface.
• ATS configuration through 4 potentiometers and DIP switches.
• Auxiliary contacts for switch positions I – 0 - II (optional).
• “Product availability” output.
• Ample accessories to suit specific requirements.
• Fully integrated ATS controller specifically designed for Mains / Mains and Mains / Genset
applications.
