ATS UNIT USE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1

WORK AREA
Do not use the product near flammable gases, liquids or dust. Keep the work area clean and well lit to avoid
injuries. Keep unauthorized persons, children and animals away from the running product.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The product is energized. Observe safety precautions to avoid electric shock. Avoid operating the product
in high-humidity environments. Do not allow moisture to enter the product, as this increases the risk of
electric shock. Avoid direct contact with grounded surfaces (pipes, radiators, etc.). Be careful when working
with the power cord. Replace it immediately in case of damage, as damaged power cord increases the risk
of electric shock. All product connections must be carried out by a certified electrician in accordance with
all electrical codes and regulations. Do not operate the product with your feet in the water, on wet or damp
soil. Do not touch live parts of the product. Keep all electrical equipment dry and clean. Replace damaged
or worn wiring. Worn, damaged, or rusted terminals must be replaced as well.

PERSONAL SAFETY
Do not operate the product when you are tired or under the influence of potent drugs, alcohol or
medication. During operation, inattention can cause serious injury. Make sure there are no foreign objects
on the product when it is turned on. Do not overload the product; use it for its intended purpose only.

The total power of power consumers connected to the

PLEASE NOTE! ATS system must not exceed the maximum permissible
power for this ATS unit model.

OPERATING THE ATS UNIT 4

ATS UNIT FUNCTION
The ATS unit automatically starts the generator and switches over power consumers to it when the main
power supply is deenergized. www.konner-sohnen.com | 2
 Use the control cable to connect the ATS unit to the power
PLEASE NOTE! generator; the generator must have a special connector
for connecting the ATS.

7 Not connected

Connect the ATS unit as shown in Figs. 2-5.

AUTOMATIC MODE
Turn the start key on the generator control panel to “ON” (for gasoline generators). Set the ATS unit main
switch to “AUTO”. The “AUTO” LED light indicates that the ATS system is in automatic mode.
When the main power supply is disconnected, the ATS system automatically starts the generator in 15
seconds. After 30 seconds following the generator startup, the system will switch over power consumers to
the backup power source (generator).
In case of unsuccessful startup, the ATS system attempts to start the generator five times with an interval of
5 seconds between the attempts. If all five attempts are unsuccessful, the ATS unit will stop trying to start
the engine and signal an error.

GENERATOR
GE NERATOR STOP IN THE “AUTO” POSITION
If the generator was started in the “AUTO” position, set the “POWER SWITCH” to the “OFF” position to stop
it. The generator will stop immediately, or press the emergency stop butto

MANUAL MODE
If it becomes necessary to start the generator without using the ATS automatic mode, set the ATS unit main
switch to “MANUAL”. After that you can start the generator.

BATTERY
The ATS unit battery is charged automatically. The maximum charging current is 2A.
CONNECTION OF THE GENERATOR AND ATS
TO THE BUILDING POWER SUPPLY NETWORK 6
The wiring diagrams have been developed in accordance with the guidelines for planning, installation and
operation of emergency power systems developed by European power grid operators.
We recommend using three wiring options.
The generator must be connected via a 32A 230V CEE socket.
The generator must be grounded using either the screw connection or the PE pin in the generator CEE socket.
The PE pin (earth) in the generator sockets is connected to the generator housing. The N pin (neutral) in the
generator sockets is NOT connected to the generator housing and must be connected to the main earthing
www.konner-sohnen.com | 3
busbar as a separate cable at the point of connection of the neutral from the generator on the AVR for the TN
power supply system. When switching power supply to the generator side as instructed, the ATS disconnects
not only the phase conductors, but also the neutral conductor of the external power grid.
