If there are doubts about safe use, the unit must be put out of service. The automatic transfer switch ATS021 must be prevented from operating the circuit breakers before: • accessing the circuit breakers • performing maintenance on circuit breakers or any electrical circuits powered by them •...
Installation and operating instructions, ATS021 2. Explanation of abbreviations and terms 2. Explanation of abbreviations and terms 2.1. General information ATS: Automatic Transfer Switch; automatic switching device ATS021: ATS of the ATS02x series, version with rotary switch and LEDs. Circuit Breaker; low voltage automatic Circuit Breaker.
ATS021 selects the power supply line by acting directly on the CBs provided on the lines: ATS021 can be used with automatic CBs and ABB SACE switch-disconnectors.
Figure 3.1: Diagram showing ATS021 connection to lines LN1-LN2 Application scenarios The ATS021 device may be used in the following applications: • Main line – Emergency line switching • Main line – Emergency generator switching With the Lim rotary switch in the SETUP position, the RESET key can be used to set the following switching logics: •...
Description of time delays 4.1 Main Line – Emergency Line switching Description Both the lines are normally present; in case of a fault in the main line, ATS021 switches on the emergency line used as the reserve line. Figure 4.1:...

Applications of device ATS021 4.2 Main Line – Emergency generator Switching Description In case of a mains failure the ATS021 automatically starts up an emergency generator and, as soon as power is available on the generator side, ATS021 starts the automatic switching procedure.
CB1 is opened. ATTENTION If ATS021 is not powered by any of the two lines the device waits for at least one of the two lines (5) to return before proceeding with the switching procedure (6).

LED switches off and the device awaits a line voltage. The moment the normal or the emergency line is restored, with ATS021 in automatic, the unit analyses the conditions of the lines monitored and the status of the circuit breakers and proceeds with the switching operation in accordance with the situation concerned.
In case of alarm, press RESET to reset the alarm. TEST button ATS021 must be in the manual position. Press the TEST key, see Figure 5.1/4, to set the test mode of the direct and inverse switching sequences. To exit the TEST mode press RESET.
Description of Lim rotary selector Manual mode ATS021 can be set in manual mode by turning the Lim rotary switch, see Figure 5.1/13 on the front panel in the MAN section. For example, when the Lim rotary switch is in the MAN area in position 20, ATS021 operates in Manual mode and the voltage threshold is ±20 %;...

In case of a fault, the alarms are activated by the same methods as those for the automatic switching sequence.
With ATS021 in manual mode, keep TEST pressed for at least 3 seconds: when the TEST button is released, all the LEDs flash simultaneously twice and then the Auto LED flashes for 0.5 sec every 2 sec .
