Series 230 Automatic Transfer Switch C1000 Intelligent Controller User Manual
Chapter 1 Overview
Series 230 C1000 Intelligent Controller (hereinafter referred to as Controller) is used to control the Series 230 transfer
switch. The Controller is designed to control two sources. When either source has over voltage, low voltage, failure,
or abnormal frequency, the Controller will instruct the transfer switch to transfer to a better source or transfer to the
center-off position in order to protect the load.
Key Controller features include AC voltage & frequency signal acquisition, control signal input/output, user interface
(LED indicator lights, DIP switch and push button). The Controller appearance, functions and features, technical
parameters, accessory configurations, and size of the Controller will be described in this chapter.
1.1 Appearance
Please refer to Fig 1-1 for the appearance of the Controller.
Figure 1-1 Controller Appearance
1.2 Functions and Features
Detecting the voltages, frequencies of two AC input sources, alarming when failures occur as overvoltage,
under-voltage, over frequency and under frequency, etc.
Multiple operating modes: Automatic (Source I Priority, No Source Priority), Remote Control, and Manual.
Center-off position delay and Center-off position protection modes.
Center-off position delay mode
When the transfer switch transfers the load from one source to another source, the transfer switch should stay in
center-off position for a period of time.
This center-off position delay time can be settable by user depending on the load characteristics. The default
setting is 0 seconds, can be set to 5 seconds, in order to consume the load inertia and protect the load from
getting damaged by the inrush current when the load transfers from one source to another source.)
