10. ATYS A15 OPERATING MODES
The ATyS A15 has 3 distinct working modes, the working modes are selected using the HMI button or by using the 63A/64A input.

The 3 working modes are working as described below:

• Auto mode

In this mode the controller will automatically give orders to the RTSE connected to switch to the correct position according to the
settings selected.

In this mode, the manual order buttons , , are disabled.

This mode is activated when the LED 7 is ON (fixed). To access this Mode make sure that you are in manual mode (the LED 7 is
OFF and that the fault LED (12) or the TEST LED (8) are not activated) and then press the button for 3 seconds, the LED 7
should then turn ON.

• Manual mode

In this mode the manual orders buttons , , enable manual orders to switch respectively to position I , 0 or II.

This mode is activated when the LED 7 is OFF and the LED 12 is OFF and that the fault LED (12) or the TEST LED (8) are not
activated. To switch from AUTO mode to manual mode, press the button for 3 seconds

• Inhibit mode

In this mode both the Automatic transfer and manual orders will be blocked. This mode is activated when the input 63A/64A is
OPEN.

In this mode the fault LED (12) will be blinking, and AUTO LED will be OFF. To leave the inhibit mode close the 63A/64A input, the
controller will return to the last working mode (Automatic or Manual).

20 EN ATyS Controller A15 - 549779A - SOCOMEC

10.1. Triple power supply
The ATyS A15 can be supplied by 3 power sources:

AC – Power through the voltage sensing (terminals 103-104 for source 1 and terminal 203-204 for source 2) with power supply
range going from 184-300 V.a.c (in pulse mode) 200-300 V.a.c (in maintained mode) 50/60 Hz+/- 10%

DC - Auxiliary supply (optional), 10-30 V.d.c power supply using terminals 82-81.

The DPS output to the RTSE will not be functional when powering
CAUTION through the DC auxiliary power supply.

10.2. Voltage sensing Inputs

The ATyS A15 includes dual single phase and 3 phase voltage sensing (terminals 103-106 and 203-206) designed to monitor 1
Phase supplies up to 300 V.a.c (L-N) and 3 phase +N up to 520 V.a.c (L-L).

The ATyS is designed to handle single phase and three phases with neutral networks, simply define the correct configuration of
single phase / 3phase with neutral using the DIP switch 1 on the front of the controller (cf. Chapter 10-5 programming).

Sensing values measured will have a direct influence on determining the availability of the main and alternate supplies as well as
the ATyS A15 automation.

The parameters monitored through the sensing are the following:

• Phase rotation

When both sources are available the controller will check that the phase rotation is identical on both sources. If the sources have
different phase rotations the source available LED will be blinking on both sources.

When only one source is available, the controller will automatically

CAUTION accept the source regardless of the phase rotation order

• Frequency within set limits

The ATyS A15 will check that the frequency is within the limits configured through DIP switch 4. Frequency is checked on L1 only.

• Loss of the main or alternate power supply

Loss of supply depends on the nominal voltage and frequency configured together with the hysteresis (set in DIP switch 4)The
source will be considered as lost after the fail timer as counted down (set through dip switches 7 & 8 (0 / 3 /10 / 30 min).

• Return of main and/ or alternate power supply

Return of supply depends on the nominal voltage and frequency configured together with the hysteresis set. (Set in DIP switch 4).
The source will be considered as available when the return timer will have counted down (set through dip switches 6 (3s / 10s).

• Loss of Neutral

In a 3phase network with unbalanced loads the loss of the neutral will be detected.

ATyS Controller A15 - 549779A - SOCOMEC EN 21

10.3. Fixed outputs

10.3.1. Control signal outputs

Control signal outputs are the output orders (dry contact) to the RTSE; the
ATyS A15 includes 3 signal outputs and a common (point powered by the user)
(Terminals 17 to 14). These outputs are rated for 250 Vac, 50/60 Hz 5A general
use , and 30 V.d.c 5A general use.

These outputs function as described below:

When order 0 is given through the Automatism in automatic mode or manually using the button the contact between 17
and 16 will be closed.

When order I is given through the Automatism in automatic mode or manually using the button the contact between 17
and 14 will be closed.

When order II is given through the Automatism in automatic mode or manually using the button the contact between 17
and 15 will be closed.

These outputs can be impulse or maintained depending on the setting on DIP switch 3 Order Mod.

In maintained mode when an order is sent it will be maintained until a different order is sent.

In impulse mode orders are sent for maximum 5s and are stopped when either 5s has expired or the controller received feedback
that the RTSE has reached the requested position. If 5s expire and the RTSE has not reached the requested position the controller
will consider this as a fault and will inhibit the automatism until the fault is cleared.

10.3.2. Genset start output

Genset start outputs are the output orders (dry contact), the contact between 51 and 54 will
open & the contact between 51 and 52 will close when the signal to start the genset should
be sent (during a test on load or when source 1 is lost). These outputs are rated for 250 V.a.c
, 50/60 Hz 5A general use for NO contact and 3A general use for NC contact, and 30 V.d.c
5A general use for the contact between 51-54 and 3A general use for the contact 51-52.

Control 51/54 51/52

Generator Start Contact open Contact closed
Generator Stop Contact closed Contact open

When the switch returns in position I the Cooldown timer will start counting (Default value 180s) during the cooldown timer, the
contacts will maintain the generator start signals.

If the 24 V.d.c auxiliary power supply is not used the timer 1FT will not count and the
CAUTION order to start the generator will be sent immediately when source 1 is lost.

22 EN ATyS Controller A15 - 549779A - SOCOMEC

10.4. Fixed inputs

10.4.1. Inhibit input

When the contact 63A/64A is open the controller is in inhibit mode (Fault LED blinking and automatism
and manual controls are deactivated). When this contact is closed the controller returns to the last
working mode (either manual mode or automatic mode).

When the product is delivered this input is hardwired to closed, to use the input first remove the wire

10.4.2. Position inputs

These inputs must be connected from the RTSE to the controller in order to indicate the position
of the RTSE, when the controller gives an order both through manual command and automatically
it will check that the position input corresponding to this order has closed. If this is not the case
the controller fault LED will blink and the buzzer will be on, to clear the fault expected position
input should be closed and the user must press the AUTO button.

73/70 must be closed when the RTSE is in position 0.

72/70 must be closed when the RTSE is in position II.
71/70 must be closed when the RTSE is in position I.

10.4.3. Fire input

This input is activated by applying 24 V.d.c (12-24 V.d.c) on F1 and F2 (negative electrode connected
to F1 and positive electrode on F2.

When this input is activated the Fire LED (13) will be ON (fixed) and the buzzer will sound, the
controller will give the order to the switch to go to position 0 and both manual and automatic controls
will be inhibited. When the input is removed, the switch will go back to the last working mode
automatically

ATyS Controller A15 - 549779A - SOCOMEC EN 23

10.5. Programming
The programming of the controller is done through the DIP switches available on the front HMI.

WARNING Program only when in manual mode to avoid unexpected transfers or injuries.

10.5.1. Programing through DIP switch

Programming through DIP switches is done using the 8 DIP switches on the front of the controller.
Each DIP switch has positions A & B, by default all DIP switches are in position A.

When programming the dip switches with the switch powered off simply change the position of the
DIP switches. To change the position of the DIP switches use a small screwdriver.

When programing the DIP switches with the controller powered on, switch to manual mode. When
a DIP switch changed position the Fault LED will blink fast (3Hz), to validate the change of the DIP
switch press the RES button shortly (<1s). The Fault LED will stop blinking and the buzzer will sound
twice. If instead of validating the DIP switch is brought back to the original position without pressing
the button, the Fault LED will also stop blinking and the configuration will remain the same

12. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance operation should be done by trained and qualified personnel using
WARNING the appropriate protection equipment.

It is recommended to verify at least once a year the tightening torque of all connections and to operate the product in a full
operating cycle (I – 0 – II – 0 – I: Auto and Manual) as well as tightening the door mounting clips and testing the LED’s with the
lamp test button when applicable.

In case of upstream protection tripping (fuse protection / Circuit breakers) make sure that the ATS remains functional by doing a
functional test with the RTSE connected to the controller.

To clean the front face of the equipment, use a soft cloth with water and non-abrasive liquids.

Note: Maintenance should be planned carefully and carried out by qualified and authorized personnel. Consideration of the critical
level and application where the product is installed should form an essential and integral part of the maintenance plan. Good
engineering practice is imperative whilst all necessary precautions must be taken to ensure that the intervention (whether directly
or indirectly) remains safe in all aspects.

15.3. Phase rotation check
When both sources are available the controller will check that both sources have the same phase rotation.

If the two sources have different phase orders the source LED (1 & 6) will blink , the fault LED will light up and the sources will be
considered as not available (switch will not transfer from the current position to the opposite source).

If only 1 source is available the product will not check the phase rotation order.

15.4. Voltage/Frequency Levels configuration

Voltage and frequency levels can be configured through communication or DIP switch (DIP switch 4).

Configuration through DIP switch

The DIP switch configuration allows setting the voltage and frequency limits to 10% of nominal vol-
tage & 5% of nominal frequency or 20% of nominal voltage & 5% of nominal frequency.
In both cases the hysteresis is 20 % of the selected value. The default value for nominal voltage is
230 V.a.c and the default value for nominal frequency is 50Hz.

To reboot the product press the button for 30s, this will restart the product and take into account any changes on the DIP
switches (even if the controller was in AUTO mode at the time of restart). In case of a configuration change the controller Buzzer
will beep twice.

15.5. Timers

15.5.1. Fail timers and Return timers

Source failure timers FT and source return timers can be configured using the DIP switches.
The source fail timer FT is the time during which the source can be outside the voltage and frequency threshold before it is
considered lost. (cf. graph below)

The source return timer is the time for which the source must be within the voltage and frequency threshold before it is considered
available. (cf. graph below)

If only one source is present, the controller will give the order to switch to this source before the return timer has finished counting.

15.5.2. Cooldown timer
When the switch returns in position I the Cooldown timer will start counting (Default value 180s) during the cooldown timer, the
contacts will maintain the generator start signals.

15.5.3. Dead band timer ODT

The dead band timer ODT can be configured using the DIP switches 5 (2s or 0s). This timer defines the time for which the switch
should stay in the 0 position when transferring from one source to another.

15.6. Priority settings

Priority settings can be configured using the DIP switch 2 “PRIO SET” or through communication.

The priority can be set to:

- S1, in this case when source 1 is available the controller will give the order to switch to position I
- No prio, if both sources are available the controller will give the order to remain in the current position.

15.7. Tests
The A15 allows for 2 test functions using the HMI test button:

A short press on this button (<3s) will start a LED test, allowing the user to check that all LEDs are functional.

A long press (>3s) on this button will start a TEST ON LOAD, this test will start the genset, and transfer to the Source II once the
source is considered available.

The product will remain on source 2 until the test ends, to end the test press again the test button for more than 3s to return in the
last working mode (Manual or Automatic).

It is also possible to start and stop the test on load and off load through communication
