SECTOIN 3 : OPERATION
3.1 General
five functions of the ATS-34
：
● Automatic mode
● OFF mode
● Bypass mode
● Programming mode
● KCU-XX Remote Communication
The practical use of each operation under each
category will be explained in this section. It is assumed
that prior sections are understood, and the operator
has a basic understanding of the hardware.
3.2 Auto Mode
The AUTO mode of the ATS-34 controller provides for
automatic start, stop, and transfer and retransfers from
source to source as dictated by the programmed
values.
The ATS-34 controller constantly monitors the
condition of both generators
’ power sources thus
providing the required intelligence for transfer
operations.
3.3 OFF Mode
In OFF the ATS-34 disables all the transfers and
protection functions, the display window and all the
LEDs are turned off.
Both remote start signals are also disabled in OFF and
the ATS can’t transfer the load to any source
automatically.
However, when programming, the OFF button allows
you to move to the next program line and then change
the values for that line using
down (▼) and up (▲)
buttons.
3.4 Bypass Mode
If the ATS-34 is running in AUTO, pressing the bypass
button ignores its current duties and force starts the
next generator, and
transfer’s power from this
generator to the other. If the second generator fail to
start or its voltage and frequency does not become
available, the controller keeps the load connected to
the working generator and triggers an alarm.
Activate the Bypass only when in AUTO.
3.5 Programming Instruction
You program the ATS-34 from the front faceplate.
To start, set the controller to OFF and press & hold the
OFF button for 4 seconds. The word “Vr1.0” appears
on the display for 2 seconds, showing the software
version.
You are now ready to start the line-by-line
programming sequence. Always press the OFF key to
move to the next line. To change the parameter, on
each line use the up (▲) and down (▼) arrows.
Repeatedly pressing the up (▲) or down (▼) key,
changes the displayed by one. To change faster, hold
the buttons down.
Remember to
always press the “OFF” button to move
to the next line or until t
he “End” appears on the
screen.
Note
:
To end and exit at any time, hold the “OFF” key
down for 4 seconds.
If you make an error or need to return to factory
settings, stay or reenter programming and then hold
the AUTO keys down for 4 seconds, until the word
“Au.Po” appears on the screen verifying that all
programming lines are factory reset back like in the
manual. (See line-by-line programming table for
ATS-34 factory settings).
3.6 Remote Communication Instruction
You can monitor and control the gen-set and controller
from a remote PC using the optional USB / RS485 /
Ethernet remote communication modules.
WARNING
A remote start signal can activate the ATS-34 and
the engines can start at anytime without warning.
Place a “Danger” warning sign next to the
generator, stating that this generator can start at
anytime! also install a warning buzzer or a flash
light. Unexpected engine starts can result in
serious injury or death. When performing service
or maintenance, always disconnect the remote
start signal input.
If you have an Ethernet module installed on your
ATS-34 you can remotely monitor and operate the
ATS and generator using the IPhone and Android
mobile phones. Free App software currently available
for Apple iOS5.1 system or above and android
operating system. Free software can be downloaded
from App Store or Google Play
by simply key in “Kutai”
and hit search.
