How to 'Self-Test' a Gen for ATS Remote-Start AUTO Function | Automatic Changeover Installation

Demonstration on how to connect an ATS to a Type1 Genset with "Remote Start" functions.

During an installation, before Gen-control (Remote-start) connection is made from a Genset to an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) or Automatic Changeover Switch (ACS), it is often necessary to first check the generator's controller module and confirm or 'Self-test' the "AUTO" or STANDBY mode functionality.
A failed test means the Gen may not be able to respond to a START or STOP command from the ATS.
However, if the Gen Auto mode self-test is successful, the Generator can be connected successfully to the control circuit of an ATS to achieve seamless Power Management Automation (Automatic power transfer along with automatic Gen Start/Stop control action) depending on Mains availability or User command.

Want to take your Power Management Automation to a higher level?
You may add additional custom control mechanisms to your ATS control circuit by requesting any of the following to be added by us during ATS construction:
1. Generator Operational Duration Timing (Gen Duration Timer): Stops Gen automatically after a preset duration of time, for example, Stop after 45 Minutes.
2. Generator Scheduled Operation Timing (Gen Sc Timer): Starts and Stops Gen on scheduled days or time. Can be used to rotate the operation of 2 or more Generators. For instance, automatically run Big Gen at daytime from 8am to 9pm Mon-Fri., also, automatically run Small Gen at night from 9pm to 7am.
3. Gen Wireless Ignition Control (G-WIC): This adds Wirelss Remote Control functionality to your ATS-Gen connection allowing you to remotely control your generator wirelessly from the comfort of your Sitting room while at the same time allowing your ATS to do its power automation magic.
4. Electrokristron Smart Wireless Gen Control Unit: (ES-GCU): A smart Gen control solution that allows you not only to control your Gen wirelessly, but also to issue VOICE COMMANDS to the Gen, Start/Stop Gen from APP on your SmartPhone (Android or iPhone), Control and monitor Gen usage from anywhere on the globe through the Internet.
5. Electrokristron Inverter Battery Interface Module (EIBIM): Makes it possible for your ATS to monitor your Inverter battery bank voltage levels. Automatically starts gen when battery voltage drops below a certain preset threshold level.

Engr, absolutely you are good in your field and I, m grateful to have you teach many young engineers who doesn't acquired much working experience in this area of auto start and control, . Thank you so immensely, , you are doing a great job, God bless you, . Please show the next video of the complete connection between the generator and the automatic panel, , God Almighty bless you brother., And please drop your contact.

[ojotaiwo]

I sincerely appreciate you for this video. Thanks a lot.

A good show of how to test . I have some concerns . I noticed that when the signal was removed the generator stopped within a few seconds. this is bad for the generator if it was at a heavy load before the load was transferred and signal removed. some ATS units will delay the signal to stop after a few minutes of transferring the load away and that is good. however there are parameters for cooling times that can be set in the deep sea unit to allow a cooling time before switching off the engine when generator is not needed any more. this would be a better way . just saying . All good . Ade.

C'est Bravo à l'automatisme industriel

Thanks I appreciate this video, but every AUTO, GEN ENGINE have their own DSE design, so for example JMG Diesel Engine, hw do u locate the ATS vacant point to start the MODULE

[habtemariamhabtu]

Thank you for the video. But how to identify the command terminal in the generator is not clear.

[reelsjury]

What ats stands for if explain that thanks

[songanojoshua]

The other terminal is negative side? To self testing??

[BrightJerome-ocik]

Please sir i just want to ask can this same connection work with 5KVA Diesel generator example like firman 5kva Diesel generator thanks

[umehmmaduabuchi]

Those terminals you loop are pf which numbers

[choralesaintjoseph]

hello thank you for your video but how to know the terminals in the DSE which can make the automatic start thank you

[jamesamuzu]

Pls I'm using CGM generator and I'm planning to change the connection to Auto start but doesn't know where to connect the wires to can you please help me

[ibrahimadewuyi]

Hw to locate the command TERMINAL for ATS for JMG GENERATOR

[umangelectricalcontractors]

Sir, you didn't tell us what terminals you sorted.

[espoirelia]

Je le même groupe ça demar mais la production du courant n'arrive pas à 200v est au delà aider moi svp

[benmatsemela]

I need help on a transformer when electricity is gone does not start it self and is on auto

[AJ-wjij]

Where do you buy a complete penal and wired controller from sir ? Thanks

[yirgalemteshome]

plse how to connect the ats dse jcb 220 kva generator

[hajiamjadali]

6110 controller plc emergency stop alarm is activated can't reset please help me how to clear the alarm fault I can't start the generator
