SAFETY ALERTS - SAFETY SIGNAL WORD DEFINITIONS
This document contains safety alert pictorial Symbols and Words that point out areas and procedures that
require special attention with regards to safety. These Symbols and Words are defined in ANSI Z535.4-1998,
Product Safety Signs and Labels.
DANGER:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, i not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, i not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, i not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsa e practices.
The safety alert pictorial symbol appears in this document to make users aware of important operating and
safety concerns.
Tools and Test Equipment Required
•iscellaneous hand tools
•D (digital voltmeter)
Voltage Selection
1. If you have a 208, 220 or 240 V ATS the voltage range can be changed. The factory setting is either set to HIGH
(220 to 240 V) or LOW (208 V) depending on ATS model ordered. If the factory preset is not desired, performing
the following steps will change the voltage transfer points.
2. ake sure both Primary and Backup AC sources to the ATS are de-energized.
3. Remove the ATS case cover.
4. Locate the jumper at JP1 (HIGH) or JP2 (LOW). See figure 1.
5. To change the voltage selection simply move the Jumper from the JP1 (HIGH) to JP2 (LOW) position or JP2
(LOW) to JP1 (HIGH) position (depending on the factory preset of your ATS).
6. Replace the ATS case cover.
Remote Status / Alarm Monitoring
1. A DB-9 female connector in the rear of the unit provides status / alarm signals for remote monitoring of the
status of the ATS.
2. Primary AC Input Status DB-9 Pins are: _5_NO _1_NC_2_CO
3. Backup AC Input Status DB-9 Pins are: _6_NO_3_NC_4_CO
4. When Primary AC Input is present and IN SPECIFICATION, there is an OPEN circuit between pin_5_and pin_2_.
When Primary AC input is OUT OF SPECIFICATION, there is a CLOSED circuit between pin_5_and pin_2_.
5. When Backup AC Input is present and IN SPECIFICATION, there is an OPEN circuit between pin_6_and pin _4_.
When Backup AC input is OUT OF SPECIFICATION, there is a CLOSED circuit between pin_6_ and pin_4_.
6. aximum voltage and current that can be used for monitoring the status and alarm of the ATS Series is 120
VDC (VAC), 1 A (maximum DB-9 connector rating).

CAUTION: The unit must be placed in a well – ventilated area to prevent risk o ire due to over-
heating. Ventilation slots must not be obstructed.
CAUTION: The ATS must be protected by an upstream branch circuit protector, or both the Pri-
mary and the Backup, at 125% o the ATS current rating (the maximum input current rating as shown
on the ATS product label) per the National Electric Code or per local electrical codes i outside o the
United States.

Power-Up Procedure
1. Perform a visual inspection of the ATS-500 unit and verify that it is not physically damaged. Verify that the
equipment label states correct voltage, frequency and amperage of the input & output AC power sources.
Also, verify that the stated output voltage, frequency and amperage are compliant with the input power
requirement of the load equipment to be powered by ATS-500.
CAUTION: Turn both switches marked as “Primary Input Breaker” and “Backup Input breaker” to
OFF position.
WARNING: Make sure that both Primary and Backup AC input wires are de-energized.
2. Connect (or plug in) both the Primary and Backup AC input connections. For 15, 20 and 30 Amp hardwire
units recommended tightening torque is 0.79Nm (7 in.-lbs), for 40 Amp hardwire units recommended
tightening torque is 2.26Nm (20 in.-lbs).
CAUTION: Make sure that both Primary and Backup AC input voltages and requencies match
those speci ied on the product label a ixed to the ATS unit. The ATS will only operate when the input
voltage is within speci ication and when the input requency is within ± 5 % o that speci ied. Both
primary and backup must be the same nominal requency.
3. Turn on the Backup AC circuit breaker in the rear of the ATS unit. ake sure that the audible alarm switch
(in front of the ATS unit) is in the "ENABLE" position.
4. The yellow LED should turn on and the alarm sound must turn ON (red alarm LED must turn ON; green
LED must be OFF).
5. Turn on the Primary AC circuit breaker in the rear of the ATS unit.
6. The green LED must turn on after several seconds. Yellow LED must turn OFF. The audible alarm (sound)
and red alarm LED must turn OFF.
7. Turn off the Primary AC circuit breaker. The green LED must turn off. The yellow Backup LED must turn ON.
Red alarm LED and alarm (sound) must turn ON.
8. Turn on the Primary AC circuit breaker. After several seconds, ATS must return to normal operating
condition as in step 6.
9. Turn off the Backup AC circuit breaker. The green LED must remain ON and the red alarm LED and alarm
sound must turn on.
10. Turn on the Backup AC circuit breaker. After several seconds, ATS must return to normal operating
condition as in step 6.
TESTING WITH ACTUAL LOAD EQUIPMENT (SUCH AS COMPUTERS, PLC, TELECOM EQUIPMENT, ETC.)
CAUTION: To avoid electric shock or accidents, ensure that both Primary & Backup AC sources are
de-energized be ore making the wire connection to the AC sources.
11. If the above test steps (1) through (10) are performed and the ATS is functioning properly, then actual load
equipment can be connected (or plugged into) the output terminal block (or output socket) of the ATS. For
15, 20 and 30 Amp hardwire units recommended tightening torque is 0.79Nm (7 in.-lbs), for 40 Amp
hardwire units recommended tightening torque is 2.26Nm (20 in.-lbs).
12. Perform steps 3 through 10 assuring that the load is operating properly.
13. End
