performed by trained and authorised personnel.
Do not handle any control or power cables connected

to the product when voltage may be, or may become
present on the product, directly through the mains or
indirectly through external circuits.

Always use an appropriate voltage detection device to

con rm the absence of voltage.

Ensure that no metal objects are allowed to fall in the
cabinet (risk of electrical arcing).

Failure to observe good enginering practises as well as to
follow these safety instructions may expose the user and
others to serious injury or death.

The LED signalling and operation is only active when the product supply is
available. To set the dip switches, it is necessary to open the Auto/Manual
cover. Commissioning must always result in having at least 1 LED source

available on. (Therefore, the voltage and frequency must be within the dened

thresholds).

Any action on the potentiometers will change the settings, even when

the cover is closed.

Check for a voltage of 176 to 288 Vac on the supply terminals:

• 230 / 400 Vac model :

- Terminals 1-7 correspond to SOURCE 1

- Terminals 1-7 correspond to SOURCE 2

Check the following parameters:

• the type of network => 3P (DIP Switch 1 on position A)

• frequency => 50 Hz (DIP Switch 2 on position C)

• the nominal voltage => with a multimeter, measure the voltage accross the terminals and report the value on the

Check the thresholds and hysteresis of rated voltages (m U) and frequencies (m F) and report them on the
corresponding potentiometer

If using an Auto transformer - proceed as follows upon 1st switching on

• Step 1: HIC4xxA must be connected to a three-phase + neutral network (4NBL) for setting the neutral position.

Neutral position is detected upon rst switching on

• Step 2: Connect the autotransformers. Warning: Neutral must be connected on the same side as in step 1

How to reset the neutral position:

• Step 1: Open the cover

• Step 2 : Set DIP Switch 1 from 3P to 1P

• Step 3 : Set DIP Switch 1 from 1P to 3P

• Step 4 : Close the cover

Check the following parameters:

• the type of network => 3P (DIP Switch 1 on position A)

• frequency => 50 Hz (DIP Switch 2 on position C)

• the nominal voltage => with a multimeter, measure the voltage accross the terminals and report the value on the

CAUTION: a Generator operating off load can generate a Fr and a U lower than the nominal values:
Check the thresholds and hysteresis of rated voltages (m U) and frequencies (m F) and report them on the
corresponding potentiometer.

If using an Auto transformer - proceed as follows upon 1st switching on

• Step 1: HIC4xxA must be connected to a three-phase + neutral network (4NBL) for setting the neutral position.

Neutral position is detected upon rst switching on.

• Step 2: Connect the autotransformers. Warning: Neutral must be connected on the side dened in Step 1

How to reset the neutral position:

• Step 1: Open the cover

• Step 2 : Set DIP Switch 1 from 3P to 1P

• Step 3 : Set DIP Switch 1 from 1P to 3P

• Step 4 : Close the cover

Check if voltage is between 176 to 288 VAC across the power supply terminals of emergency SOURCE :

• 230 / 400 Vac model: - Terminals 1-7 corresponding to the Emergency Source

In case of transformer/ Genset, check that FT timer (Main Failure Timer) has nished counting down.

• Use a stopwatch.

• Start the stopwatch when the product has lost its Priority SOURCE.

- Contact 73 - 74 must be closed after 60s max (M-G application )

- GENSET run command = Contact 73-74 Closed

- GENSET stop command = Contact 73-74 Opened

Check that the product is not in manual mode:

• Automatic mode = Cover closed

• Manual mode = Cover open

Check that automatic operation has not been inhibited by an external order (terminals 207-210)

Check the status of led « Emergency SOURCE availability ».If it is off, refer to the symptom concerned (higher in the
list)

In case of Transformer/ Transformer, check the setting of FT timer (Main Failure Timer). The duration of this time
delay is between 0 and 60s. If necessary, use a stopwatch to check switching to SOURCE after FT countdown

Check that the product is not in manual mode:

- Automatic mode = Cover closed

- Manual mode = Cover open

Check that automatic operation has not been inhibited by an external order (terminals 207-210).

Check the state of the "Priority Source Availability" LED. If it is off, refer to the symptom concerned (higher in the list) The "AUT" and "Emergency

Check the setting of RT timer (Main Return Timer). The duration of this delay is between 0 and 30 min. Use a
stopwatch to check the switch to Priority SOURCE after the RT timer

Check that the "manual retransfer" function is not active*

• Retransfer mode activated = Contact 207-208 closed

• Retransfer mode desactivated = Contact 207-208 open

* if this function is not required

Check CDT timer (Cool Down Timer) has nished counting down - Fixed time delay:4 min

• Use a stopwatch.

- Start the stopwatch when the product has switched over to the Priority SOURCE.

- Contact 73-74 must be open after time delay CDT has nished counting down

Check that the product is not in Automatic mode:

- Automatic mode = Cover close

- Manual mode = Cover open

Check that automatic operation has not been inhibited by external control commands (terminals 207-210)
