DATAKOM DKG-329 ATS Controller

Description

DATAKOM DKG-329 is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Controller designed for managing power transfer between the mains (utility) and a generator. It monitors both power sources and ensures seamless switching to maintain continuous power supply. This controller is compact, user-friendly, and highly reliable, making it ideal for various residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Features:

Automatic Transfer:

• Monitors mains and generator power and automatically transfers the load to the generator during mains failure.
• Transfers the load back to mains when power is restored and stable.

Mains and Generator Monitoring:

• Monitors mains voltage, frequency, and phase.
• Monitors generator voltage, frequency, and phase.

Built-in Protections:

• Protections for over/under-voltage, over/under-frequency, and phase failure for both mains and generator.
• Configurable delays to prevent frequent switching.

User-Friendly Interface:

• Digital display with real-time monitoring of parameters.
• LED indicators for power source status and fault conditions.

Manual and Automatic Modes:

• Allows manual control for maintenance or testing purposes.
• Fully automatic mode for seamless operation during power outages.

Configurable Parameters:

• Adjustable delays for mains failure detection, generator start, and load transfer.
• Configurable voltage and frequency thresholds.

Compatibility:

• Works with diesel or gas generators.
• Supports single-phase or three-phase systems.

Specifications:

Installation:

Wiring:

• Connect mains and generator power lines to the corresponding input terminals.
• Wire the load to the output terminals for seamless transfer.
• Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrical noise and ensure safety.

Configuration:

• Use the front panel or PC software (if applicable) to adjust voltage, frequency thresholds, and delay settings.

Testing:

• Verify proper operation by simulating mains failure and observing automatic generator start and load transfer.

Troubleshooting:

Load Does Not Transfer:

• Check wiring between the controller and the contactors.
• Ensure voltage and frequency are within acceptable ranges for both power sources.

Generator Does Not Start:

• Verify the remote start signal is reaching the generator.
• Check the generator fuel and battery.

Frequent Switching:

• Adjust the delay times for mains failure and generator stop.

Fault Indications:

• Check the fault log to identify the cause (e.g., over-voltage, under-frequency).
• Inspect connections and sensor inputs.
