Automatic Transfer Switch ATS104SP
Description
The configurable Automatic Transfer Switch Model ATS104SP allows many of the industry’s demanding specifications to be
achieved. The ATS104SP is used to start a generator on a mains failure, sending a signal to the Auto Start Enabled Generator
and transfer the load when engine’s operating criteria has been met. The engine's warm-up time before accepting load and cool-
down time after relieving load can be set directly on the module (via terminals T1, T2, T3, T4 and battery negative terminals
9,10,11,12).The ATS104SP allows working on 3 phase and single phase mains/generator supply.
How it works
Under normal circumstances when mains power is available, National Grid power supply runs through the Automatic Transfer
Switch (ATS) contactors and connects to your distribution board. When mains power fails, the ATS will pause for a 25 sec. period
to ensure you haven’t had a power spike. ATS will then initiate a generator start signal (by closing terminals 3 and 4), warm up the
generator within preset time set by internal programmable timer* (see table A below) and then connect the generator power
supply to your home or business premises. Upon mains power being restored the reverse happens and the controller
automatically transfers load from the generator power back to mains shutting down the generator after a cool-down period (cool-
down period = warm-up period) and restoring it to standby mode. The ATS104SP series modules have been designed for front
panel mounting. The module is fitted into the cut-out (68X68mm) with the fixing clips removed. These are then fitted from the rear.
