ATC-100 Controller
Product Description
The ATC-100 Controller is a compre-
hensive, multi-function, microprocessor-
based ATS controller. It is a compact,
self-contained, panel mounted device
designed to replace traditional relay
and solid-state logic panels.
Application Description
The ATC-100 Controller provides an
unmatched degree of programmed
flexibility to address the needs of any
system. It operates from all system
voltages between 120 and 480 Vac,
single-phase and 3-phase, at 50 or 60 Hz.
In addition, a period of no control power
operation is provided. The ATC-100
Controller monitors the condition of
the 3-phase line-to-line voltage and
frequency of both the Utility and
Generator power sources. It can also
be set up for single-phase operation.
The ATC-100 Controller provides the
necessary intelligence to ensure that
the transfer switch operates properly
through a series of programmed
sensing and timing functions.
