Ablerex ATS Plus-216 Automatic Transfer Switch

Two power sources for single-cord equipment The Ablerex ATS Plus-216, also identified as ATSP-216, connects suitable single-cord equipment to two independent power sources. If the primary source becomes unavailable, the automatic transfer function switches the supported load to the alternate source without overlapping the two supplies. The 16A unit fits a 1U rack position and provides two IEC C20 inputs with eight C13 and one C19 output. Its typical transfer time is 8–12ms. Plan the load and its power-supply ride-through capability around that switching interval; an ATS does not add a battery. Highlights Source flexibility Two independent input sources Automatic transfer without source overlap A defined 16A arrangement 2 × IEC C20 inputs 8 × IEC C13 and 1 × IEC C19 output Rack-based control 1U 19-inch rack design LCD/LED status display and communication interfaces Key Features Give a single-cord load an alternate source A server or other supported device with one power lead can be supplied through the ATS from two suitable independent sources. This adds an alternate power path without changing the equipment into a dual-cord device. Two outlets on the same failing source do not provide independent source resilience. Understand the transfer interval The manufacturer specifies a typical switching interval of 8–12ms. This is a transfer function, not a zero-time battery inverter. Confirm that the connected equipment can tolerate the interval and that both sources are suitable for the configured voltage and frequency. Use the outlets within the total rating The output bank contains eight IEC C13 sockets and one C19 socket. The total maximum input and output current is 16A, and individual connectors retain their own limits. Select the leads, upstream protection and connected loads as one electrical system. Check the power path at the rack The LCD and LED indications show source availability, status and alarm information. Standard communication interfaces include RS232, USB and dry contacts, with an option slot for supported additional communications. Optional SNMP or RS485 hardware is separate and must be matched to the unit. A compact, defined installation The enclosure measures 440 × 44 × 275mm and occupies 1U. Allow room for the two source leads and the outgoing equipment cables. Commission the source settings, alarm behaviour and transfer function before relying on the installation. Compatible Models Suitable single-cord equipment in a correctly specified 16A, 200–240V-class installation. ATSP-216 is intended for the specified 1–3kVA power arrangements. Match equipment ride-through capability, two independent sources, connectors and protective devices before deployment. Summary ATS Plus-216 provides a compact automatic transfer path for supported single-cord equipment. Use it where the two source supplies and the connected load have been properly specified, with its typical switching interval and 16A total limit accounted for. Frequently asked questions Is ATS Plus-216 a UPS?ExpandCollapse No. It switches a supported load between two suitable power sources. It does not contain a battery or create backup power when both sources are unavailable. What are the input and output connections?ExpandCollapse There are two IEC C20 inputs, eight IEC C13 outputs and one IEC C19 output. Match the leads and upstream protection to the installation. Is the transfer time zero?ExpandCollapse No. The manufacturer specifies a typical transfer time of 8–12ms. Confirm that the connected equipment can ride through that switching interval. Can I use two outlets from the same UPS as independent sources?ExpandCollapse Two outlets from the same failing supply do not create independent source resilience. The design should provide two suitable independent sources for the intended use. Is a network card included?ExpandCollapse SNMP and RS485 are optional communications. The standard interfaces are RS232, USB, five output dry contacts and a communication slot; a compatible network option is separate. How much rack space and current does it need?ExpandCollapse The unit occupies 1U and measures 440 × 44 × 275mm. The maximum input and output current is 16A, subject to connector, cable and protection limits. 続きを読む
