The manual covers installation, operation and
maintenance of the ATS-PLC Automatic Transfer
Switch Controller. This manual is for use by authorized
and qualified personnel only.
1.2 Overview
Transfer switches protect critical electrical loads
against loss of power. A standby (emergency)
generator backs up the normal grid power. The transfer
switch connects either the normal or the standby
supply to the load. When power is lost from the grid,
the transfer switch transfers the load to the standby
source. Eventually after the grid is restoration, the ATS
connects the load back to the grid.
1.3 Product Overview
The ATS-PLC is a programmable multifunction
touch-screen automatic transfer switch control unit with
built in 5.7” inch color touch screen. The compact
design easily replaces the general conventional ATS
controlling circuit board and controllers. The interface
is user friendly with plenty of preferred settings and
configuration to suit user preference. Suited for single
phase/3 phase 3 wires/ 3 phase 4 wires systems.
The multi parameter setting ranges enables the
controller to operate on all kinds of ATS transfer
Switches and the customizable features to fulfill the
operator’s needs. All configurations are stored in the
internal program memory to prevent loss of data or
important settings during a power outage.

Attention! Prior to execute system parameter configuration / Programming (PROG), first set system to OFF Mode
then press PROG to enter program configuration, otherwise a operation failure message will be
displayed. (See illustration in 2.8.2 MANU Mode Procedure Error Warning).
A remote start signal can activate the ATS-PLC
and the engines can start at anytime without
warning. Place a “Danger” warning sign next to
the generator, stating that this generator can start
at anytime!” also install a warning buzzer or a
flash light. Unexpected engine starts can result in
serious injury or death. When performing service
or maintenance, always disconnect he remote
start signal input.
WARNING
When servicing or operating near the vicinity of
the generator, Always make sure the remote
communication setting is turned off, to ensure
the safety of the servicing personnel nearby.
WARNING
ATS-PLC with KCU-02 module constitutes a
closed LAN network. Each controller address can
be set from 1 to 99 and not to be repeated. Same
transmission rate is a must !!
SECTION 3 : KCU-XX COMMUNICATION
MODULE SETTING
By installing the KCU-XX modules (EX: KCU-01,
KCU-02, KCU-03.... etc.) to the ATS-PLC, user can
operate or monitor the generator remotely.
● KCU-01 – USB communication module
● KCU-02 – RS-485 communications module
● KCU-03 – Ethernet communications module
The installation for the KCU-XX communication module
on the ATS-PLC controller is fairly simple.
Step 1:Remove slot cover from the back of controller.
Step 2 : Insert KCU-XX into the ATS-PLC
communication slot.
If the KCU-03 Ethernet module installed on the
ATS-PLC you can remotely monitor and operate the
ATS and generator using the IPhone and Android
mobile phones. Free App software is available for Apple
iOS5.1 system or above and android operating system
2.3.3 or above. Free software can be downloaded from
App Store or Google Play by simply key in “Kutai” and
hit search.
For corresponding remote communication settings
please refer to Section 2.7.4.1 and KCU-XX user
manuals and software user manuals.
* The accuracy and sensitivity is precisely adjusted in factory, unless necessary, please do not recalibrate.
Attention! Never use sharp and pointy objects when
calibrating touch screen. Use standard touch panel
stylus only to prevent damage to the screen.
Step 1 : Power on controller.
Step 2 : Press and hold “Home” key for 10secs to enter
the calibration (As shown in the below illustration).
Step 3 : first coordinate will first appear in the upper
left-hand corner, aim for the center of the coordinate
and press. Total of 7 coordinates needs to be
calibrated
Step 10 : After all 7 coordinates are successfully
calibrated, the screen will display “Saving Calibration
Parameters” to end the sensitivity calibration.
Attention! Once sensitivity calibration begins, all
coordinate must be calibrated, before system is able to
return to normal operation. If accidentally touched the
screen or inaccurate adjustment is made during
calibration, please completed the rest of calibration first
before resuming to step 1 and recalibrate.

APPENDIX 02 : Download Start-up Screen
When powering up the ATS-PLC, the system will display a customizable start-up screen. This chapter will provide
you with the step by step instruction on how to setup customizing start-up screen.
Note 1 : The Start-up Screen picture format is limited to
bmp, jpg and png files only with image size 630*390.
The system will proportionally reduce the image size if
image size exceeds the limit.
Note 2 : To download the image from PC to ATS-PLC,
user will need to connect a KCU-01 USB
communication module (optional) to the controller.
Step 1 : Before connecting the ATS-PLC to the PC,
user must first install the “KCU-01 Modules” and
“ATS-PLC Image Transfer Software” software to the
PC. Drivers are supplied in the supplied software disk
or can be downloaded from Kutai Electronics website
www.kutai.com.tw.
Step 2 : Remove all other communication module(s)
