Safely store customer / factory settings in

permanent memory.

Compact size, light weight and low power

consumption.

Shows status and failure alarm LEDs on the front

panel.

Electrically operated and mechanically held.

Manufactured using UL 94V-0 plastics.

No need for PC connection and programming

software. All settings can be made on site.

Adjustable time delay in OFF position when

transferring.

Controller can be installed next to switch or

separately on an enclosure panel.

Designed for cell-phone repeaters, and many

industrial and home ATS applications.

SECTION 3 : FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

3.1 General

3.7 Plant Exerciser

Operation of the TCS2P125 electronic control.

This feature provides for automatic test operation of

the generator. The interval is fixed at once per 1 to 4
weeks with a specific test day and time. The
exerciser can be set for either testing with load or
without load.

3.2 TDNE Settings

TDNE provides a time delay when transferring from
Normal to Emergency. Timing begins when the
Emergency Source (generator) becomes available.
TDNEAdjustable from 0 to 99 seconds.

3.3 TDEN Settings

When the exerciser is activated the exerciser LED

(EX) on the right side of display flashes and turns on
during the exercise period.

3.8 Over / Under Voltage Sensing

TDEN provides a time delay when transferring from

Emergency to Normal. This permits stabilization of
the Normal Power before transferring back to
normal. Timing begins when the Normal Power
returns and becomes available and steady.

The TC-V2 constantly monitors normal & emergency

power. When power falls outside the programmed
voltages this LED turns RED from GREEN and
flashing to show OV / UV problems.

TDNEAdjustable from 0 to 99 seconds.

Adjustable Over voltage range110VAC ~ 530VAC

3.4 TDEC Settings

Over voltage resetWhen voltage falls below 10VAC

of the OV setting.

TDEC timer keeps the generator running without

load (Engine Cool-down) after the ATS transfer
back to Normal Power. Timing begins when the
transfer back to normal is completed.

Adjustable Under voltage range80VAC ~ 470VAC

TDECEngine Cool-down - from 0 to 99 sec.

3.9 Transfer Failure

3.5 TDES Setting

TDES is the time delay for Engine Start when the
Normal Source voltage is in over or under-voltage
(OV or UV). If power return to normal while timing,
the TDES timer resets and starts again.
TDESAdjustable from 0 to 30 seconds.

3.6 TD-OFF Setting

Time Delay on OFF this timer keeps the switch in
the center neutral OFF position (completely
disengaged) before transferring to the other side.
You can preset the switch in Neutral or OFF from 0
to 18 seconds (Normally 2 to 3 sec).
TD-OFFAdjustable from 1 to 20 seconds.

Under voltage resetWhen voltage exceeds 10VAC

of the UV setting.

When a transfer is made the TS125 communicates

its position to the TC-V2 controller by using two
small internal micro-switches, if this signal is not
received, it will try switching 3 more times every 2
seconds or until the connection is made. A flashing
light indicator and a FAIL signal displayed an
incomplete transfer and that the ATS mechanism or
wiring is defective.
If the ATS fails, the TC-V2 controller stops all ATS
functions and starts flashing until the failure is
corrected and the control is reset.
To reset the transfer fail alarm
1. Manually move the ATS to the correct position.
2. Press any button (Auto, Program or Test) on the
front panel to reset the alarm.

SECTION 4 : OPERATION
4.1 General
This section specifically describes the operation and
functional use of the TC-V2 controller.

4.2 Auto Mode

In AUTO the TC-V2 controller automatically transfer
and retransfers from source to source as directed by
the pre-programmed instructions.
In AUTO the controller monitors the condition of
both normal and standby power sources providing
the logic for the transfer operation.

4.3 Test Mode

The TC-V2 is equipped with a test pushbutton that
simulates the loss of normal source. Pushing the
Test key the TC-V2 will execute a test on the ATS.
The TDES and TDNE programmed time delays will
be performed as part of the test. There are two test
modes
Testing with load .
Testing without load

4.4 Programming Mode

The TC-V2 controller is fully programmable from the
front panel when in the Program Mode. The build-in
program buttons have multiple functions
Real time clock displaying
Programming mode operating
To enter programming mode, push and hold
Program button for 10 seconds. In the first 10
seconds the screen showing internal real time clock
and then the word Vr 1.0 will appears on the front
display window for 2 seconds indicating the version
of the software.
At this time start a line by line programming
sequence. To advance to the next line, push the
Program button on the front panel. To change each
lines programming parameters, press the increase
(
) and decrease (
) buttons. When pressing
and releasing the (
) or (
) key the displayed
parameter can be increased or decreased by one.
The parameter will continue to scroll if the (
) or
(
) button is pressed and not released.
Always push the Program button to advance to
the next line or until the word End appears on the
screen. To immediately end the programming mode,

you simply push the Program button for 4

seconds. Then the word End shows on the
screen indicating the end of the programming mode.
If you like to return to factory settings, stay in
programming mode and simultaneously press all 3
buttons ( ), ( ) and Program buttons for 4
seconds. The TC-V2 will now automatically program
itself to factory settings and the word Au.Po will
appear on the display window.

4.5 AC Voltage Display adjustment

The TC-V2 controller continually monitors normal &
emergency power displaying volts and frequency on
the front panel. (The voltage value is calibrated and
adjusted at the factory). But when the ATS works on
high capacitive or inductive loads the waveform
distortion may cause the displayed to have slight
differences from the users measuring instrument.
You can adjust the display value to equal to the
users own instruments, by entering the setting mode
to perform adjustment the parameter. Once the
adjustment is completed, the voltage sensing value
will increase or decrease according to the adjusted
value and display it on the screen. The TC-V2 over
and under voltage protection follow the adjusted
value as the actual system voltage and perform the
monitoring according to the new parameter.
See Table lines 2,3,4,5 for voltage display setting.
