The panel must be placed at a safe distance from heating sources, fuel storage,
flammable material (paper, cloth, etc.) and chemical substances. The precautions
adopted must be those approved by the competent authorities. In order to avoid
potentially dangerous situations, isolate the area around the panel preventing
unauthorised personnel from approaching.
Although SICES products comply with the electromagnetic compatibility rules,
still we strongly recommend NOT to install the Panel (and the Genset) next to
equipment ejecting emissions.
Pay special attention while assembling the Control Panel in order to prevent external elements from
falling into the Panel, such as metal shavings or other which could damage or impede the operation
of the electric components.
Note
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide a DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY on the Control
Panel installation once the work has been completed.
WARNING: A wrong installation or electrical connection may cause serious
damage to people, Genset, ATS Control Panel and/or plant connected to it.
In order to protect the panel from indirect contact, overload and short-circuit, it is the installer’s
responsibility to connect a protection device on Source A (MAINS) and B (GENSET) with the correct
characteristics and values for the installation point.
In order to guarantee against electrodynamic stress caused by a short circuit for control panels fixed
to the floor, it is necessary to fix the lines to each other or to a support. It is also necessary to provide
supports for the power cables so that these do not weigh down the transfer switch connection bars.
It is the installer’s responsibility to check that the electrical loads connected to the load and the
related current values do not exceed the panel projected value.
The installer must provide the installation of all the necessary equipment aimed at
guarantee a safe and correct operation of the system in which the ATS LOGICA
Control Panel and Genset are installed (e.g. coordination of the protections against
direct and indirect contacts).
Notes: We recommend you to use the suitable equipment (overvoltage protectors) in order to protect
the circuits directly supplied by the Mains from overvoltage due to atmospheric discharges or
particular events.

The ATS LOGICA Control Panel is a device that allows to supply alternatively a system that uses
two different and independent sourcesof energy,which usually are:Source A (Mains) and/or Source
B (Genset).
According to the nominal current, besides the panel circuits, the switch takes place by means of:
1) 2 four-pole contactors which are electrically and mechanically interlocked (45 - 125A);
2) 1 motorized four-pole changeover switch (160 –4000A).
Mechanical interlock
Auxiliary contacts
45÷125A
45÷125A
The contactors are interlocked by means of a proper accessory. In order to guarantee more safety
to the system, besides the mechanical interlock, there is an electrical interlock carriedout by auxiliary
contacts installed on the front of each contactor.
With this configuration, only one of the two contactors
can be commanded; the second one stays deactivated.
In this way, the load is always supplied by only one source.
When the contactor is closed, the mechanical part in the
figure stays blocked.

The standard version considers the use of the following materials:
From 160A to 2500A: Motorized changeover switch ABB SACE
From 3150 to 4000A: Motorized changeover switch TECHNOELECTRIC
On the front of the motorized changeover switch (160÷4000A) there is a mechanical indicator that
shows the status of the main contacts. Therefore, it is possible to understand on which source the
load is inserted. The figure below shows the possible statuses:

On the front of the switch there is a series of accessories:
1 A lock that impedes any manual or electrical operation.
2 Mechanical indicator of the circuit breakers status.
3 Command selector switch: manual/automatic.
The locking device is important in case you would like to impede any operation by unauthorized
persons, or to guarantee that nobody modifies the supply status creating damage to the people
working in the plant. By means of the locking system placed on the front, you impede the activation
of the manual command. With lock inserted the supply is stopped, inhibiting the electrical command.
The changeover switch, thanks to its exclusive mechanical structure, can be activated manually by
a proper lever. This operation can be useful in case of device failure or in case of connection failure
to the remote control logic.

Use and Maintenance Manual ATS LOGICA CONTROL PANEL with ATS115
In order to make the changeover switch close one of the two sources and supply the load, the ATS
LOCIGA control panel must be always connected to receive the values of the SOURCE A (MAINS)
and SOURCE B (GENSET) voltage, keeping the ATS115 controller on AUTO.
When the connection of the power cables Source A (MAINS) - Source B (GENSET) is carried out
directly on the contactors terminals (sizes 45÷125A), the operation brings to the disconnection of the
auxiliary circuits cables connected to the terminals. Pay attention during the reconnection of the
auxiliarycircuits cables to the power cables in theterminals. Before supplying, ensure that they have
been reconnected correctly according to the diagram.
A wrong connection can cause damage to the auxiliary circuits inside the electrical control panel.
