4.3 Engine Test Mode
The ATS-380 is provided with a test pushbutton that
simulates a loss of normal source. Pushing the
TEST key on the front of panel, the ATS-380 will run
in engine test mode. The TDES and TDNE
programmed time delays will be performed as part
of the Test. There are two test modes:
●
With load engine test.
●
Without load engine test. (The TDNE time delay
will not be performed)
When the user terminated the engine test mode by
press the AUTO pushbutton, then the controller will
return to automatic mode. When normal power is
available, the transfer switch automatically transfers
back from standby source to normal source and
initiates engine shutdown after a preset engine
cooling down time delay.
When the user terminated the engine test mode by
press the OFF pushbutton, the ATS will keeps the
present status and the ATS-380 controller initiates
engine shutdown immediately without cooling down
time delay and returns to off mode.
4.4 Off Mode
The off mode of the ATS-380 controller will disable
all the transferred and protected functions, and all
the status LEDs will be turned off in this mode. The
real time clock will be showed on the front display
window.
In the event that power is lost from the normal
source, the ATS-380 controller will not start the
engine and the ATS can’t transfer the load to the
standby source automatically.
When in program mode, pushing the off pushbutton
allows the user to change the program line table and
set the selected parameter using decrease (
▼
) or
increase (
▲
) button.
4.5 Programming Mode
The ATS-380 controller is fully programmable from
the devices faceplate once in the Programming

the ATS-380 controller will quickly discover that
ATS-380 controller programming is just a matter of

& decrease (

window for 2 seconds. This number indicates the
version of the software.
You are now ready to start a line by line
programming sequence. To advance to the next line,
push the OFF button on the front panel. To change
each line’s programming parameters, press the
increase (
▲
) and decrease (
▼
) buttons. When
pressing and releasing the increase (

increased or decreased by one. The Increase (
▲
)
or decrease (

it is pressed and not released.
Always push the “ OFF ” button to advance to next
programming line or until the word “ END ” appears
on the screen. To immediately end the programming
mode, you can simply push the “ OFF ” button for 4
seconds at any time. Then the word “ END ” on the
display
window

end
of
the
programming mode.
