Simulation of priority line failure
The ATC6300 offers the possibility of simulating a power failure. This enables the system to
be tested.
This simulation can be performed in two ways:
● Via the command menu, using the command C16
● Through a digital input with the function C16
The simulation involves considering a two-minute absence of the priority line, even if it is
actually present. During this time the message SIMUL xxx appears on the main page with a
countdown of the simulation time:
The simulation will cause the start of the generator (if present) and a load transfer exactly as
in the automatic cycle.
Stopping the simulation
The simulation can be stopped at any time by pressing the OFF key, thereby placing the
device in the OFF mode.
Note
If the simulation is performed through the
command menu, it must be started from the OFF
mode. Only in the OFF mode is it possible to execute commands (see chapter
Command
menu
(Page 53)).
After selecting and confirming the command C.16 the command menu is exited. The device
switches automatically to the automatic mode and starts the simulation.
