The PowerShield® ATS is designed to accept two independent power inlets (primary and secondary) to supply power to the load from either power source. Should primary power source fail, the secondary will automatically back up the connected equipment without any interruption. The transfer time from one line to another is seamless to the connected equipment. After switching to a secondary power source, the ATS can also switch power back to the primary input when power to the primary input is restored.

Before using the unit please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, this manual and the batteries.

WARNING!! The ATS must be connected to earth when in use.

In line with current regulations, only use the cables that have been supplied with the machine. The power supply socket must be easily accessible to the operator.

WARNING!! The ATS has been designed exclusively to operate indoors. It is essential to install it in areas where no inflammable liquids or gases, or other harmful or noxious substances, have been stored.

ATTENTION!!

A soft damp cloth may be used to clean the outside of the machine (always with the system disconnected from the mains power supply and load).

Do not use any type of solvent as this may damage the external finish of the machine.

ATTENTION!!

The ATS has been designed exclusively for professional use.

NOTE: These instructions may be modified by the wiring regulations in force in the country where the ATS is purchased.

Mounting the Unit

The unit can be mounted in a standard 19" rack using the PowerShield optional Rail Kit. Fasten the mounting brackets to the unit using the screws provided.

Power Shield Rail Kit mounting

Screwdriver

NOTE: If the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C, ventilation is required

Connecting the Unit

Connect the ATS input plugs “input source A connector” and “input source B connector” to the two independent power sources or UPSs using either the SCHUCKO-IEC or IEC-IEC 16A cables supplied.

Plug the load into the output 10A (“Output 1 and 2”) or 16A (“Output 3”) sockets depending on requirements.

Contact Outputs

The contact outputs consist of six (6) pins numbered from left to right (see fig. 1), which can be connected to an external monitoring system (such as a BMS) in order to monitor the operational status of the ATS.

The external equipment must be within the rating of the contacts

Fig. 1: Contacts Connector

The Contact Connector provides the following connections:

Pin 1:

Pin 2:

Pin 3:

Pin 4:

Pin 5:

Pin 6:

Common contact.

“Source B” active contact - pins 1 and 2 closed = output supplied by “Source B”

“Source A” active contact - pins 1 and 3 closed = output supplied by “Source A”

“Source A” status OK contact - pins 1 and 4 closed = “Source A” is present and normal

“Source B” status OK contact - pins 1 and 5 closed = “Source B” is present and normal

Status OK contact – pins 1 and 6 closed = ATS operation normal

The following diagram shows the contact configuration

Fig. 2: Contact Connections

ATTENTION: Contact Connector pins are rated at a current of 8A and voltage of 250Vac.

8. Trouble Shooting

Problem

The ATS with the mains voltage present, does not turn on.

(The LEDs does not flash and no alarm sounds.)

The load is not powered.

No display or display provides incorrect information.

The display is off but the load is powered.

Possible Cause

Input plugs not connected

Input switch in

“OFF” position

Solution

Connect the mains to the input plugs as indicated in the installation section.

Input power failure

Upstream Fuse or

CB disconnected

Output sockets not connected

10A Internal thermal protection device has tripped

There is a power supply problem in the display.

Turn the input switches “ON”

Check that the mains voltage is present or check if the UPS supplying the ATS is on.

Reset the CB or Fuse Warning: check that there is no overload or shortcircuit at the output of the UPS.

Connect the load to the output sockets

The Internal protection will operate in the event of a short circuit or overload on one of the 10A output sockets. The thermal protection can be reset by pushing the button which will result in the power being reconnected to the load. Therefore prior to attempting a reset of the thermal protection, check the rating of the connected loads and determine if there is any overload.

Then once reset, reconnect each load one at a time to ensure no problems exists.

Shut down the ATS completely and wait for a few seconds.

Switch the ATS on again, if the problem persists, contact the nearest technical support centre.

There is a power supply problem in the display.

Contact the nearest technical support centre.

If there is any abnormal situation not listed above, please call PowerShield Service immediately for professional Technical Support

Source A as Preferred Power source)

If Source B is the active power source, when the input voltage of source B is outside this range, the

ATS will automatically switch to Source A.

When input voltage of Source B is back to normal, the ATS will switch back to Source B. (Setting is
