DSE556

Auto Transfer Switch and Mains (Utility) Control Module

This is an obsolete product, no longer available for purchase.

Features

The Model 556 is an Automatic Transfer switch and Mains controller with comprehensive
instrumentation and load control features.

The module is used to monitor a mains supply and automatically start and stop the system’s generating sets (controlled by DSE 550 load sharing controllers). It indicates the operational status by means of an
LCD display, and LEDs on the front panel.

The system is used to ‘manage’ the generator bus, which is fed by DSE 550 load sharing controllers.

The 556 instructs the 550 controllers to make precise changes to the generating set outputs which can be used in many applications including Peak lopping.

The generating sets are used to ensure the mains load is kept below a specific, configurable level.
No-break return to mains supply. The generator bus is voltage matched and synchronised with
the returned mains supply to allow transfer back to mains with no break in supply to the load.
Selected operational sequences, timers and alarms can be altered by the customer. Alterations to the
system are made using the 810 interface and a PC. This interface also provides real time diagnostic
facilities.

Operation of the module is via pushbutton controls (with security locking facility) mounted on the front
panel with STOP/RESET, AUTO, TEST, MANUAL and START functions. The first four pushbuttons
feature LED ‘selected’ indications.

Further pushbuttons provide MUTE/LAMP TEST, LCD PAGE and DISPLAY SCROLL functions.
The module features 32-Bit Microprocessor control and a comprehensive list of timers and preconfigured sequences. User configurable expansion facilities are also provided.

KEY FEATURES

Automatically senses mains (utility) failure and starts the backup generators (controlled by DSE model 550 controllers).

Allows precise changes to be made to the generator bus/mains supply load share (import/export control)
Can maintain a specific mains (utility) or generator power factor.
ATS / Peak lopping control for 550 controlled generator bus
Will synchronise multiple 550 controlled gensets with the returning mains (utility) supply to provide no-break changeover back to the mains supply.
‘Soft transfer’ (load ramping) both to and from the generator supply.
Can be used to load test thesynchronised generator bus without removing power from the load.

Clear, back-lit LCD display to show the status of the load switches, and mains (utility) supply as well as to annunciate alarm conditions should they occur.
Integral, configurable starting and stopping timers.
Configurable inputs and outputs to help meet complex specifications.
Integral log for viewing event
