CONTROL FEATURES

Asco Series 7000 Microprocessor Controller

• Advanced digital microprocessor.
• Voltage, frequency, control, timing, and diagnostic functions.
• Microprocessor logic board is separated and isolated from the power board to improve electrical noise immunity performance and assure compliance with rigorous transient suppression standards.
• Allows the user to easily access detailed information on: system, power source parameters, voltage, frequency and time delay settings, optional feature settings, historical event log, and system diagnostics.
• A four line, 20 character LCD has a backlit display which enables easy viewing under all conditions (see Asco 7000 Brochure below for screen shots).
• All screens can be navigated using only six buttons.
• Touch pad programming of features and settings without the need for meters or variable power supplies.
• On-board diagnostics provide control panel and ATS status information to analyze system performance.
• Displays and counts down active timing functions.
• Selectable multi-language display (English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, or French).
• Password protection to prevent unauthorized tampering of settings.
• For more detailed information, see 7000 Series Microprocessor Controller.

Asco Series 7000 User Interface

• Switch position indicating lights (16 mm, industrial grade LEDs).
• Source acceptability indicating lights with true indication of the acceptability of each source, as determined by the voltage, frequency, voltage unbalance, and phase sequence settings of the control panel (16mm, industrial grade LEDs).
• Three position (16mm, industrial grade type) selector switch: Automatic (Normal maintained position), Test (Momentary position to simulate normal source failure for system test function), and Reset Delay Bypass (Momentary position to bypass transfer and re-transfer time delay).

Closed Transition Option

• Features main contacts that overlap, permitting the transfer of electrical loads without power interruption.
• Transfers in a make-before-break mode if both sources are within acceptable parameters.
• Control logic continuously monitors source conditions and automatically determines whether the load transfer should be open (conventional non-overlap mode) or closed transition.
• Closed-Transition transfer within 5 electrical degrees is achieved passively, without control of the engine generator set.
• No additional control wire runs are required between the ATS and engine generator set governor.
• Protective relaying may not be required under normal operation since the contact overlap time is less than 100 milliseconds (consult your local utility on protective relay requirements).
• Extended parallel time protection standard. User interface provides visual indication when the pre-set extended parallel time has been exceeded. The controls automatically open the emergency or normal main contacts. Separate contact also available to shunt trip to an external breaker.
• Failure to synchronize indication standard. User interface visually displays a failure to synchronize alarm if the time delay settings is exceeded, during closed transition transfer operation.
• Transfer switch lock out with user interface indication standard. Prevents transfer in either direction if the extended parallel time is exceeded.
• User interface alarm reset button. Resets extended parallel and failure to synchronize alarms.
• Closed Transition bypass pushbutton on user interface allows transfer between sources in an open transition mode.
• Please see the Asco 7000 Brochure below for withstand ratings (p5), screw-type terminal connections (p22), and dimensions/weights (p24,26).

Delayed Transition Option

• Designed to provide transfer of loads between power sources with a timed load disconnect position for an adjustable time period.
• Applications include older style variable frequency drives, rectifier banks, and load management applications.
• Utilizes reliable, field proven solenoid operating mechanisms.
• Mechanical interlocks to prevent direct connection of both sources.
• Indicator light (LED type) for load disconnect position.
• Adjustable time delay for load disconnect position.
• Please see the Asco 7000 Brochure below for withstand ratings (p5), screw-type terminal connections (p22), and dimensions/weights (p24,26).

Bypass Isolation Option

• Available in Open Transition, Closed Transition, and Delayed Transition configurations.
• Allows the primary automatic transfer switch to be inspected, tested, and maintained without any interruption of power to the load.
• Provides redundant power transfer in the event the ATS is disabled or removed from service.
• Bypass switch and transfer switch have identical electrical ratings.
• Heavy duty mechanical interlocks prevent undesirable operation.
• Bypass contacts carry current only during bypass mode.
• Transfer switch is drawout design for ease of maintenance (see p6 of the Brochure below for details).
• Bypass and isolation handles are permanently mounted. The bypass switch has dead front quick-make, quick-break operation for transferring of loads between live sources.
• Bypass switch is fully rated for use as a manual 3-position transfer switch.
• Bypass and isolation functions are simple, requiring a total of two operating handles.
• No toggle switches, push buttons, selector switches or levers are required for bypass-isolation operation.
• Mechanical indicators show bypass and transfer switch positions.
• For more information and visual demonstration, please see these Asco 7000 Bypass Isolation videos.
• Please see the Asco 7000 Brochure below for diagrams/pictures (p6-7), withstand ratings (p5), screw-type terminal connections (p22), and dimensions/weights (p25-26).
