2 Smart Distribution Panel with ATS
War ni ng sThe components in the InfraStruXure Power Generation System and UPS power distribution
system can pose life-threatening danger when improperly installed, operated, or maintained. To
prevent accidents, be aware of the dangers and act safely. Read and follow all of the safety
instructions and warnings in this manual and in all of your component manuals.
The generator and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) that you purchased from APC is classified
as an Optional Standby System—it provides backup or standby power to data centers in the
event of a sustained power failure.
The InfraStruXure Power Generation System is not to be classified as an Emergency System that
is essential for safety to human life (e.g., fire pumps, operating room, and life-support
equipment in hospitals) as legally required by a municipal state, federal, or other governmental
standards.
The InfraStruXure Power Generation System is not to be classified as a Legally-Required
Standby System as it is not supplying power to aid in fire fighting, rescue operations, control of
health hazards (e.g., sewage) and similar operations as required by a municipal, state, federal, or
other governmental standards.
Emergency and Legally-Required Systems are not allowed to rely on municipal fuel for
operation and municipal water for cooling. Emergency and Legally-Required Systems require
dual fuel systems, with one of them being a two-hour, on-site fuel supply.
Your InfraStruXure Power Generation System is not to be classified as an Integrated Electrical
System as an orderly shutdown is not required to prevent damage to the generator. The generator
is not to be paralleled with another generator.
Your generator will operate at its rated load without being re-fueled for a minimum of six hours,
and should run for a minimum of 12 hours.
Your generator can be without electrical power to the load terminals of the transfer switch for 60
seconds maximum, but will typically be without power for no more than 10 seconds.
This ATS shall be inspected weekly and tested monthly by a competent service person.
