SAFETY
All equipment designed and manufactured by Sollatek (UK) Ltd
complies with the latest safety codes of practice. You should still
follow all safety instructions and use caution when installing and
operating electrical equipment.
To avoid the risk of a shock, DO NOT expose this equipment
to rain, moisture, or liquid spillage. Before attempting to use it,
ensure that the contactor solenoid does not exceed 16 amps. The
equipment load must not exceed the contactor rating.
START-UP
WAIT When the AVS3P is powered up, it will enter Wait Mode and your
equipment will remain OFF.
ON After the wait time has elapsed, the AVS3P connects the supply to turn
your equipment ON.
Start-up Error
OFF
WAIT
OFF
All three phases must be sensed in order to operate. If on power up
one or more phases cannot be sensed, the AVS3P will remain in the
off position. Equipment will remain OFF.
STANDARD OPERATION
OFF High Voltage. Equipment OFF
WAIT Good Voltage, recovered from high voltage. AVS3P in Wait Mode,
equipment OFF
ON Good Voltage. Equipment ON
WAIT Good Voltage, recovered from low voltage. AVS3P in Wait Mode,
equipment OFF
OFF Low Voltage. Equipment OFF
The AVS3P can also be set to protect against bad frequency (goes outside the
operating range), phase imbalance (voltage deviation) and/or phase rotation (phases
are swapped post-commissioning).
WAIT MODE
Wait Mode provides voltage monitoring and protection against power-back surges
and frequent power-ups by ensuring the mains power has fully stabilised before
automatically reconnecting it to your equipment after the set wait time has elapsed.
The AVS3P will automatically adjust the wait time depending on the disconnection
period to make the total OFF time equal to the set Wait Time. i.e. If Wait Time is 3
minutes and the disconnection is 2 minutes, then the wait time added is just 1 minute.
TIMESAVE™
If the AVS3P has been turned OFF for more than the set wait time, The AVS3P will
reconnect the supply to your loads in 10 seconds.

SETTING CHANGE
Dial Range Default Description
Delay
Time
OFF, 30
sec to 10
min
3 min The duration that the AVS3P will monitor the voltage
before connecting it to your equipment after start-up or a
disconnection period caused by high or low voltage.
If set to OFF, the power will be connected to your
equipment after a 10 second sensing delay.
High
Voltage
230 V to
300 V, OFF
260 V The maximum voltage that the AVS3P will still power your
equipment. The AVS3P will disconnect the equipment
from the supply when the voltage exceeds this set value.
If set to OFF, the AVS3P will continue to supply the
equipment regardless of the voltage value.
Low
Voltage
OFF, 160 V
to 230 V
200 V The minimum voltage that the AVS3P will still power your
equipment. When the voltage falls below this set value,
the AVS3P will disconnect the equipment from the supply.
If set to OFF, the AVS3P will continue to supply the
equipment down to 150V (minimum working voltage),
below this, the AVS3P will disconnect the supply.
Note: Always match the set AVS3P limits to the equipment requirements.

(10s or user-selected DELAY timeout).
• If Delay is OFF, default 10-second delay is
automatically activated.
• If LVD is OFF, only default 150V fast OFF is
active.
• If HVD is OFF, no high-level voltage protection.
Turn the dial with a small
screwdriver or your thumb to
