Automatic Transfer Switch—Installation and Quick Start |
The American Power Conversion (APC®) Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a high-availability switch that provides redundant power to connected equipment and has two input power cords, one for each AC line. The Rack ATS supplies power to the connected load from a primary AC source. If that primary source becomes unavailable, the Rack ATS automatically begins sourcing power from the secondary source. The transfer time from one source to the other is seamless to the connected equipment, as the switching occurs safely between the two input sources regardless of any phase differences. The units have built-in network connectivity, which allows for remote management through the Web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces.
This Installation and Quick Start manual and the online User’s Guide are available on the supplied CD or on the APC Web site, www.apc.com. The online User’s Guide contains additional information about the following topics related to the Rack ATS:
•Management interfaces
•User accounts
•Customizing setup
•Security

Description |
|
|
|
|
Source A and B LEDs |
Provide information about the input voltage from each source. |
|
|
If the RMS input voltage and the measured frequency are |
|
|
within the selected tolerance range, the corresponding indicator |
|
|
will light. |
|
|
In a normal operating condition (full source redundancy), both |
|
|
LEDs are illuminated. |
|
|
|
|
Connector LEDs |
Indicate which source is being used for the output (only one |
|
|
arrow will be lit at any time). The combination of Source |
|
|
LEDs, Connector LEDs, and Output LED provide a graphical |
|
|
view of the power flow through the ATS. |
|
|
|
|
Output LED |
Shows that voltage is available at the output for the ATS. |
|
|
|
|
Preference key |
Sets the preferred source to supply power to the load |
|
|
equipment. In normal operation, if both sources are available, |
|
|
the ATS will use the preferred source. Press the Preference key |
|
|
to change the preferred source. Press and hold for ten seconds |
|
|
to restart the ATS. The restart occurs without resetting |
|
|
communications and is confirmed when both status LEDs flash |
|
|
off, then on. |
|
|
|
|
Preference A and B |
Indicate which of the two sources is selected as the preferred |
|
LEDs |
source. If both LEDs are off, neither source is selected. If the |
|
|
sources are asynchronous, the LED for the selected source will |
|
|
flash once per second. |
|
|
|
|
Reset switch |
Restarts ATS network and serial communication. |
|
|
|
|
Digital display |
Digital display of the current used by the ATS and attached |
|
|
devices: |
|
|
• Shows the aggregate current for the bank/phase |
|
|
corresponding to the Bank/Phase Indicator LED that is |
|
|
illuminated. |
|
|
• Cycles through the banks/phases in 3-second intervals. |
|
|
|
|
Control key |
• Press to change the bank/phase of the current displayed on the |
|
|
digital display. |
|
|
• Press and hold for five seconds to display the IP address of the |
|
|
ATS. |
