SECTION 5 – PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM
5.1 Setting Generator Size
If PowerPause™ Load Management Modules are not installed, dial should be set to 25Kw. (Factory default setting is 25Kw).
NOTE: Setting dial to 25Kw disables all power management functions even if PowerPause™ Load Management
Modules are installed.
If any PowerPause™ Load Management modules are installed and connected to manage loads, the generator size needs to be set for proper operation. Referring to your generator Installation and Owners Manuals, determine the net output of the generator (in Kw) accounting for fuel type, altitude, relative humidity and any other manufacture’s suggested derating adjustments. If the net generator output exceeds 25Kw and PowerPause™ Load Management modules are installed and connected to manage loads, set GENERATOR SIZE to 22.5Kw.
To set the generator size on the OVATION™ Series ATS, locate the GENERATOR SIZE dial on the User Display and using the small straight blade screwdriver provided, rotate the dial arrow to the desired size, from 7 to 22.5Kw, rounding down to not exceed the derated generator output. For example, if you determine that the derated generator output is 19.5 Kw, set the GENERATOR SIZE dial to the next SMALLEST rating, 19Kw. See Figure 5.1.
Improperly setting the GENERATOR SIZE can permanently damage the generator, transfer switch and loads connected to the transfer switch.
5.2 Setting Generator Exercise Schedule and Transfer Option |

Each OVATION™ Series ATS has a generator exercise timer that will start and exercise the generator |

at 0, 7, 14, or 28 day intervals (factory setting is 7 days). The transfer switch can also be programmed | |||
to transfer loads to the generator during generator exercise (factory setting is NO load transfer). The |

exercise cycle will last for approximately 15 minutes. If a utility power failure occurs during the |

and transfer the load to generator power. |

|
the GENERATOR EXERCISE SCHEDULE at the exact day and time you want the generator exercise procedure to occur. For example, if you set the GENERATOR EXERCISE SCHEDULE dial to 14 on Thursday at 2:00 p.m., the OVATION™ ATS will initiate a generator exercise at 2:00 p.m. on a Thursday, 14 days later. To change the time and day the generator exercise occurs, press the RESET button at the desired time and day for the generator exercise to occur.
A “0” setting turns off ALL generator exercising initiated by the transfer switch. DO NOT use the “0” setting unless the generator has a
If transferring the load during generator exercise is required, on the User Display, press TRANSFER, then immediately press the SERVICE switch. LED 5 flashes once when properly set. To set back to NO transfer during generator exercise, press TRANSFER, then immediately press the SERVICE switch. LED 5 flashes twice when properly reset.
5.3 User Interface Display LEDs
The User Display has five (5) indicator LEDs that display the status of the power sources and loads on the OVATION™ Series ATS:
LED | COLOR | LABEL | IF ON | IF SLOW FLASHING | IF FAST FLASHING |
5 | RED | GENERATOR LOAD | Load is powered by generator | GEN MAIN circuit breaker error | 2+5=service battery |
4 | RED | GENERATOR POWER | Generator power is within voltage | Generator power out of | Generator start/stop |
|
|
| and frequency specifications | specification | fault |
3 | YELLOW | LOAD | Power is energizing the Branch | Power source transferring | Motor drive fault |
|
|
| Circuit Breaker Bus |
|
|
2 | GREEN | UTILITY POWER | Utility power is within voltage and | Utility power out of specification | 2+5= battery voltage |
|
|
| frequency specifications |
| below 8VDC |
1 | GREEN | UTILITY LOAD | Load is powered by utility | UTILITY MAIN circuit breaker error | Bus not powered |
Note: LEDs 1, 2 and 3 should be ON when loads are powered by the utility; LEDs 3, 4 and 5 should be ON when loads are powered by the generator.
