Safety Precautions
1.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual thoroughly before working with the static transfer switch.
Under typical operation and with the doors closed, only normal safety precautions are necessary. The
area around the static transfer switch should be kept free from puddles of water, excess moisture and
debris. The vent grate in the front of the system should not be obstructed in order to ensure a smooth
air flow through the unit for cooling.
ONLY qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the static transfer switch. When
performing maintenance on any part of the equipment under power, service personnel and test equip-
ment should be located on rubber mats. The service personnel should wear insulating shoes for isola-
tion from direct contact with the floor.
Unless all power is removed from the input sources to the unit, one person should never work alone. A
second person should be on hand to assist and summon help, should an accident occur.
Three types of messages are used throughout this manual to stress important text. Carefully read the
information below each Warning, Caution and Note and use professional skills and prudent care
when performing the actions described in that text.
A Warning indicates the presence of a possible serious, life-threatening condition. For example:
WARNING
!
The unit is supplied by more than one power source. The Unit contains hazardous voltages if
any of the input sources is ON, even when the unit is in bypass. To isolate the unit, turn OFF
and lock out ALL input power sources.
Verify that all input power sources are de-energized and locked out before making connections
inside unit.
Lethal voltages exist inside the unit during normal operation. only qualified service personnel
should perform maintenance on the static switch.
A Caution indicates a condition that could seriously damage the equipment and possibly injure per-
sonnel. For example:
CAUTION
!
Risk of unit damage
The input sources to the static switch must be grounded-wye sources. input sources other
than solidly grounded-wye sources may cause damage to the switch.

Unpacking and Inspections
2.0 UNPACKING AND INSPECTIONS
NOTE
Read the entire manual before installing and operating the unit. Upon receipt of the Static
Transfer Switch2, the installer should perform the following steps to assure a high-quality
installation.
A high-quality installation begins on the receiving dock. The STS2 and its packaging should be
inspected when the unit is delivered. If the packaging is not damaged, unpack the unit and conduct
an internal inspection before beginning the installation process. This section discusses the inspecting
and unpacking of the STS2.
2.1
External Inspections
1. While the STS2 is still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container(s) for any signs
of damage or mishandling. Do not attempt to install the system if damage is apparent.
2. Upon receipt and before unpacking, inspect the shipping crate for damage or mishandling. Check
the Shock-Watch™ indicator.
• If the indicator is red, note on shipper’s receipt and check for concealed damage.
• If any damage as a result of shipping is observed, file a damage claim with the shipper within
24 hours and contact your local Liebert representative or Liebert Global Services at
1-800-543-2378 to inform them of the damage claim and the condition of the equipment.
3. Locate the bag containing the keys for the front access door. The bag is attached to the cabinet.
4. Compare the contents of the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the
carrier and to Liebert Global Services immediately.
5. Check the nameplate on the cabinets to verify that the model numbers correspond with the one
specified. Record the model numbers and serial numbers in the front of this installation manual.
A record of this information is necessary should servicing be required.
6. If unit is to be stored before installation, it is recommended to store the unit in a dry environment
with temperatures in the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C). Use original packing materials or
other suitable means to keep the unit clean. When opening the shipping crate, use care not to
puncture the container with sharp objects.
2.2
Unloading and Handling
CAUTION
!
Risk of unit damage.
When moving the unit by forklift, lift the unit from the rear so as to protect the front panel.
Do not exceed a 15 degree tilt with the forklift.
Also, if you are moving the unit by forklift or pallet jack after it has been removed from the
pallet, be aware of the location of the casters and leveling feet so as not to damage them.
Most STS2 models are contained in one cabinet. The 800–1000 amp units are contained in two cabi-
nets that are connected together and shipped on one pallet.
Because the weight distribution in the cabinet is uneven, use extreme care during handling and
transporting.
The unit can be moved by forklift or pallet jack.

Power and Control Wiring
5.0 POWER AND CONTROL WIRING
All power and control wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. All power and control wir-
ing must comply with the NEC and applicable local codes. Unless otherwise labeled, use the recom-
mended tightening torque as shown in Table 25 - Torque tightening.
The busbars are accessible through the front of the STS2 and designed to allow one-handed tightening.
Cables can be installed through the top or bottom of the unit through removable conduits plates.
Input wiring also can be installed under a raised floor to optional input junction boxes and cables,
when used.
5.1
Input And Output Power Connections
If the unit is furnished with input junction boxes, the input power connections are made to the input
power terminals located in the junction boxes. Input power cables, furnished with the input junction
boxes, are shipped unattached to the unit for connection between the junction boxes and the bus bars
provided inside the unit. Input junction box installation is discussed in 5.2 - Input Junction Box
If input junction boxes are not furnished, the input power connections are made to the bus bars pro-
vided inside the unit. These bus bars are accessible through the front of the unit.
Output power connections also are made to the bus bars provided inside the unit. These bus bars are
WARNING
!
Risk of electric shock
Verify that all input power and control circuits are de-energized and locked out before making
connections inside unit.
The two input power feeds (sources) to the STS2 should be from two independent sources to avoid a
common source failure.
To ensure proper operation of the STS2, the two input sources must be the same nominal voltage level
and phase rotation.
For uninterrupted automatic transfer, the two input sources should be synchronized within 15 degrees.
CAUTION
!
Risk of unit damage.
The input sources to the static switch must be grounded-wye sources. Input sources other
than solidly grounded-wye sources may cause damage to the switch.
The STS2 is designed for operation with 3 or 4-wire solidly grounded sources only.

Power and Control Wiring
The input and output power wire size should be based on the upstream overcurrent protection device,
observing the NEC and local codes.
The molded case switches contained in the STS2 are typically non-automatic circuit breakers that
rely on the upstream and/or load overcurrent protection. Upstream overcurrent protection should be
rated equal to or less than the rating of the STS2 molded case switches.
The STS2 input and output power and ground and neutral bus bars accommodate a wide range of
wire sizes. The STS2 bus bars accommodates standard 2 hole lugs.

5.2
Input Junction Box Installation (Optional)
The input junction box option is available to simplify input connections to the STS2. Two input junc-
tion boxes and the associated flexible 10 foot long (3 meter) input cables are provided with this option.
This option is available only with bottom cable entrance, typically when the unit is located on a raised
floor.
If the input junction boxes will be used, they either can be shipped with the unit or shipped in
advance to be installed during the rough-in stage of construction.
Locate the junction boxes a maximum of 8 feet (2.4 meters) from the planned location of the Static
Switch.
Due to a lack of clearance for the cables below the unit, the cables are also shipped loose from the unit
for installation at the site. The input cables connect from the input junction boxes to the input power
bus bars inside the STS2.
The standard configuration for the input junction boxes and cables is for 3-wire-plus-ground feeds. If
the input neutral is required, special 4-wire-plus-ground input cables and junction boxes are required.
For preparation purposes, the following tables provide the dimensions and wire sizes for the input
junction boxes.

Power and Control Wiring
5.3
System Grounding
Equipment grounding — Grounding is primarily for equipment and personnel safety, although
proper grounding also enhances equipment performance.
All input and output power feeds must include an equipment grounding means as required by the
NEC and local codes.
An insulated equipment ground conductor is recommended to run with each input and output power
feed. The equipment ground conductors should be at least the minimum size conductor per the NEC
based on the upstream overcurrent protection device.
WARNING
!
If conduit is used as a grounding means, adequate electrical continuity must be maintained at
all conduit connections. The use of isolating bushings with a metal conduit can be a safety
hazard and is not recommended.
4-Wire-Plus-Ground Systems — When 4-wire-plus-ground input feeds are utilized, the input power
sources must be properly grounded. Because the neutral is not switched by the STS2, the neutrals of
the two power sources are solidly interconnected. The NEC prohibits grounding a power source at
more than one point. Connecting the neutrals of two grounded power sources together effectively
grounds each of the sources at more than one point, which allows neutral current to flow on the
ground system, defeats ground fault protection, creates a safety hazard, and violates the NEC.
Where possible, the two power sources should be located in close proximity and a single
ended substation).

Remote Source Selection Wiring
An optional Remote Source Selection board may be installed in your STS2. This board is installed in
the same bay as the communications options. See Figures 21 and 22 for the location of these options.
The Remote Source Selection allows you choose the preferred input source from a remote location.
Terminal connections allow the customer to remotely select a source to be the preferred source in the
same process as the local source transfer selection.
The unit’s preferred source selection and Remote Source Selection are active at the same time, with
the STS2 following the last request for a preferred source change, regardless of whether it was from
the local or Remote Source Selection controls.
A six pin terminal block provides the Remote Source Selection connections. Two pairs of wires are
used from the switch to trigger the source selection. You can select the type of switch used for this
remote control. Connections are made to four of the connections, using Form A dry contacts. The con-
tacts are numbered left to right:

Programmable Relay Board
The Programmable Relay Board (PRB) provides a means to trigger an external device when an event
occurs in the STS2. Each PRB has 8 channels. Each channel has two sets of Form-C dry contacts,
rated 1 Amp @ 30 VDC or 250 mAmp @ 125 VAC.
Any alarm/event can be programmed to any channel or channels. Up to ten (10) events can be pro-
grammed to a relay. If multiple events are grouped to one relay, group the events logically to simplify
troubleshooting when an event is triggered. The same alarm/event can be programmed to more than
one channel. Up to two Programmable Relay Boards can be installed in the STS2 for a total of 16
channels. Programming is performed through the touch screen display.

6.2
Optimized Transfer
When the STS2 is used as a primary-side switch—on the primary of an isolation transformer—opti-
mized transfer greatly reduces the transformer magnetization current during automatic transfers
through a new transfer control algorithm. The Liebert algorithm (patent pending) optimizes the
transfer timing so that the volt-seconds applied to the downstream transformer primary is balanced,
minimizing peak saturation current.
The volt-second balance is achieved by directly computing the volt-second applied to the transformer
during transfer events and determining the optimum time to turn on the alternate source SCRs in
order to balance the volt-second within specified tolerance.
Optimized transfer also seeks to minimize the voltage disturbances while still maintaining trans-
former flux balance. This unique flux balance algorithm does not just wait for the balance point to
occur, but will pulse fire the SCRs as soon as possible to minimize the voltage disruption. This results
in far superior voltage waveforms applied to the load.

Distribution Cabinet With I-Line Panelboard—100-600A Units Only
A distribution cabinet with a Square D I-Line panelboard offers space to plug in up to 10 three-pole
branch circuit breakers (100A-250A). The panelboard is rated at 600A with an overall short-circuit
rating of 100,000 AIC.
The full-height cabinet mounts on either the right or left side of the STS2 and is fully enclosed with a
keylock door and an accent cover that permits access to the panelboard without exposing other por-
tions of the STS2.
Input Contact Isolator Board
The Input Contact Isolator Board (ICI) provides an STS2 module interface for up to eight external
user alarm or message inputs to be routed through the static transfer switch’s alarm network. The
eight contacts are normally open dry contacts. When a contact closes, an event is triggered.
The Input Contact Isolator options are configured through the Input Contact Isolator dialog box,
which is accessed from the Comm Option dialog box on the touch screen display. You also can pro-
gram the alarm messages through this dialog box. See Configuring the Input Contact Isolator
Settings on page 95 for instructions on configuring the connections.

The Comms Board provides a communication interface to Liebert SiteScan, site monitoring product,
and/or an external or internal modem. SiteLink-12 or SiteLink-4 is required for SiteScan to communi-
cate with the STS2.
The Comms Board is equipped with an RS-422 communication port for communication to a Liebert
SiteScan monitoring system using a 2-wire twisted pair for reliable communication up to 1000 meters
(3281 feet). Information available from the RS-422 port includes the present switch status informa-
tion, all monitoring parameters, and all active alarms.
The Comms Board is equipped with a modem interface for remote reporting of the present switch sta-
tus information, alarm history information, and the history of status screens that are triggered upon
a major alarm event. The monitoring system software also supports an auto-dial feature that allows
the system to automatically dial programmed phone numbers by way of the modem to report desig-
nated alarm conditions.
Programming the Comms Board is performed through the touch screen display. See Comm
Options on page 93 for details.

Internal Modem
The Internal Modem is an option that must be ordered separately. An external modem is available
from third party sources. The Internal Modem is capable of dialing out from the STS2 or accepting
incoming calls and connecting to a remote terminal or computer. Using an ASCII Query and Answer
format the modem connection can be used to view system status and alarms. The modem provides all
information normally available on the LCD display of the STS2. No control functions are available via
the modem, such as making transfers, selecting a preferred source, or changing configurations.
The modem can also be configured to dial out two different telephone numbers (any combination of
modem or pager numbers).
The connection to this modem is through a standard RJ-11 port.

Network Interface Card (NIC)
An OpenComms Network Interface Card (NIC) enables the STS2 to communicate to a network man-
agement system (NMS). The NIC provides the internal hardware and software to communicate, via
SNMP, to any I.P.-based Ethernet network through an RJ-45 connector using Category 5 cabling.
The NIC provides redundant paths for communications that make it possible to connect to a Building
Management System (BMS) using Modbus, while simultaneously communicating to a NMS through
SNMP. A terminal block provides the connection to Modbus.
If you have questions about the NIC, refer to the OpenComms Network Interface Card Installation
and Users Guide.

LED Display
A light-emitting diode display is available to replace the standard liquid crystal display touch screen
control. The display provides monitoring and control throuh a series of LEDs and buttons. LEDs alert
you when a problem occurs. A PC running terminal emulation solfware conneted to the RS-232 port is
needed to access the data and configuration settings.
Remote Source Selection
The Remote Source Selection allows the preferred input source to be chosen from a remote location. A
user supplied normally open dry contact allows the user to remotely select a source to be the preferred
source in the same process as the local source transfer selection.
The unit’s preferred source selection and Remote Source Selection are active at the same time, with
the STS2 following the last request for a preferred source change, regardless of whether it was from
the local or Remote Source Selection controls.

Introduction to STS2 Operations
8.0 INTRODUCTION TO STS2 OPERATIONS
8.1 System Description
A STS2 provides an automatic, seamless transfer between input power sources to an output load. The
STS2 monitors the input sources, to ensure each source is operating within set parameters, as well as
ensure that each source is within acceptable tolerances for a transfer between sources to be com-
pleted.
The STS2 contains two static transfer switches in one enclosure to allow the unit to transfer its load
between the two input sources without disruption to the output for longer than 1/4 cycle.
If a problem is detected with a primary (Preferred) input source and defined trigger points are
reached, the STS2 automatically switches the input to the other (Alternate) input source. The STS2
continues to monitor both sources and can automatically transfer the load back to the preferred
source, if so configured, when that source returns to acceptable operating parameters.
The system control logic automatically monitors the input sources and power output to ensure that
they are operating within acceptable tolerances. The system logic manages the transfer between
sources.
The STS2 front panel contains either a Color Graphical Display on an LCD touch screen or an LED
display.
The Color Graphical Display provides a menu-driven operator interface, and a display of system infor-
mation, status information, a one-line diagram (Mimic) of the STS2, active alarms, and alarm history
information.
The menu selections provide control of the preferred source, manual transfer initiation. Buttons pro-
vide for audible alarm silence and reset.
Through the touch screen, specific voltage, current and environmental parameters can be configured
to trigger events that can sound an alarm, write to a history log and either transfer sources or inhibit
a transfer.
In units not equipped with the touch screen, LEDs provide the user with the ability to monitor the
STS2 and quickly assess problems.
Preferred input source selection, alarm reset and alarm silencing are done through buttons on the
touch screen, or push buttons with the LED display.
Communication options can be installed in the Color Graphical Display (LCD) unit only. These
options provide external communication with the STS2 through a modem, a network card, a program-
mable relay board, a contact isolator, or an RS-422 port to Liebert’s SiteScan.
8.1.1 Redundancy
Redundancy within the STS2 prevents one component from being a single point of failure, should a
problem occur. Redundant circuits and components are used to eliminate single points of failure.
Since the STS2 has two input sources, no single component failure can cause a loss of power to the
load. Redundant power supplies are provided which feed a DC dual-bus used throughout the unit to
prevent any single-point power supply failure modes.
Three separate redundant control logic modules are built into the system. Each contains the logic nec-
essary to run the STS2, and control all transfers.
Redundant fans are provided if a primary fan fails. The redundant fans turn on to prevent overheat-
ing inside of the unit.
Should the front panel interface fail, either touch screen or LEDs, the control logic continues to oper-
ate and the unit would transfer should a problem be detected on the preferred source. Information on
the monitoring parameters would be available through the remote communication options, if avail-
able, or the DB9 (RS-232) connector located next to the LCD display behind the front door. See

Introduction to STS2 Operations
8.1.2 Reliability and Agency Requirements
The STS2 is designed for high reliability and high availability with a critical bus Mean Time Between
Failure (MTBF) exceeding 1,000,000 hours.
The STS2, Control/Power Module, and all its options are designed, tested and certified, where appli-
cable, to meet agency requirements as follows:
• UL 1008: Transfer Switch Equipment, for UL and ULc listing
• UL1459: Telephone equipment (Modem)
• NEC
• FCC Part 15 EMI emission limits for Class A computing devices.
The STS2 uses conservatively rated components, minimizing the need to go to maintenance bypass.
All maintenance and repair work can be done through the front panel of the unit. This access makes
repairs and maintenance easier.
Gating and control logic are partitioned so that failure of one source’s gating or sensing logic does not
prevent the switch from transferring to the other source.
All control and logic components are mounted separate from the power components. The STS2 is
designed to minimize the exposure of hazardous voltages to allow safe servicing of the unit while the
load is energized.
All electrical components requiring normal maintenance are replaceable without de-energizing the
load, as long as one source is available. Solid-state switching devices are packaged to allow safe repair
of those devices without having to de-energize the load. All non-automatic switches or circuit breakers
are the plug-in or draw-out type to allow replacement without de-energizing the load. All solid-state
power switching devices are rated to prevent hazardous device failure in power systems with avail-
8.1.3 Factory Backup and Service Assistance
Because improper installation can cause a system to fail, a Liebert Global Services service technician
should thoroughly inspect the unit to ensure it is properly installed and its operating parameters are
properly configured.
Once the STS2 is properly installed, you, as the on-site operator, can easily monitor the unit’s opera-
tion utilizing the touch screen or LEDs.
If you need assistance, or have questions, you can contact Liebert for technical support at
1-800-LIEBERT (800-543-2378).
8.2
Modes of Operation
8.2.1 Normal (Preferred Source)
Under normal operating conditions, the STS2 routes power from the preferred input source to the out-
put load. The unit monitors the voltage current and phase of each source to ensure that both are oper-
ating within set tolerances, and that the alternate source is available, should a transfer be required
8.2.2 Transfer
Should the preferred source fail or be outside acceptable voltage limits, the STS2 transfers the input
to the alternate source until the problem is rectified in the preferred source. The unit can be set to
automatically transfer the input back to the preferred source, or only allow the transfer to be done
manually.
8.2.3 Transfer Inhibit
For a transfer to be completed between input sources, the sources must meet certain parameters, or
the transfer cannot take place. Uninterrupted transfer between sources is inhibited due to input
source failure, sources out of sync, switch failure, or the unit is in bypass mode.

Introduction to STS2 Operations
8.2.4 Bypass
The static transfer switch can be manually bypassed to allow the power from a source to directly flow
to the output load. This bypass allows the unit’s electronics to be serviced without dangerous voltages
being present.
The STS2 includes key-interlocked maintenance bypass breakers that allow either input source’s elec-
tronics to be bypassed for maintenance without interruption of power to the load. The maintenance
bypass allows all electronics to be isolated from the input, output, and bypass connections. Bypass
instructions are available from the touch screen and are discussed later in this manual.
8.3
Operator Controls
The STS2 is equipped with an interface to configure and monitor the unit either locally or remotely.
The Color Graphical Display is a touch screen LCD that provides a color diagram (Mimic) that dis-
plays the current status of the unit. System parameters are displayed and help is available to define
source transfers, view event and history logs, and view bypass and other operational instructions.

Menu Options
Touch screen control buttons allow you to reset alarms, silence the audible alarm, review configura-
tions, event and history logs, preferred source, startup and bypass procedures, and the help menu.
Qualified personnel, with a password, can use these menus to configure parameters, select a pre-
ferred source, and do manual source transfers.
LED display units do not have the color LCD display. Instead of the touch screen, these units are
monitored by a series of LEDs and controlled by a series of push buttons.
Both units can be accessed from a terminal, or a PC running terminal emulation software, that is
attached to the unit. Through the RS-232 access, you can monitor and configure the unit, plus
using the RS-232 interface.

Theory of Operation
9.0 THEORY OF OPERATION
9.1 General Description
The STS2 contains all the equipment necessary to prevent an interruption in power flow to the AC
load, should your primary source fail.
9.1.1 STS2 Static Transfer Switch
The STS2 is a 3 pole, double-throw, solid state automatic transfer switch that is fed from two sources.
The Preferred source is the input source that normally carries the load when both sources are avail-
able. The preferred source is selectable by the user from the LCD panel or an optional Remote Source
Selection. The unselected source is referred to as the Alternate source and carries the load if the pre-
ferred source should fail or if a manual transfer is initiated.
The unit uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) connected in paralleled, opposing pairs to function
as an AC switch configuration. Three pairs of SCRs connect the AC load to the selected preferred
input source as long as the preferred source is available. A second set of SCRs stands ready to trans-
fer the AC load to the alternate input source should the preferred source fail. The switching action is
a very fast, break-before-make with less than a 1/4 cycle break in the AC waveform.
During static switch transfers and retransfers, the conduction state of the SCRs is carefully moni-
tored and controlled to prevent a current path from one source to the other. This technique prevents a
faulted source from feeding into the other good source.
9.1.2 Source Transfer
The STS2 allows manually initiated transfers between the two sources, providing the alternate
source is within acceptable voltage limits and phase tolerances with the preferred source. You begin a
manual transfer by selecting the inactive source as the preferred source. On a manual transfer, the
STS2 transfers between the two sources with less than one (1) millisecond interruption of power to
the load. The transfer can only be completed when both sources are available and synchronized
within the user-adjustable phase synchronization window. For sources where the two frequencies are
not exactly in phase, manually-initiated transfers are delayed by the STS2 until the two sources are
within the defined phase synchronization window.
Source selection can also be done remotely using the Remote Source Selection option, if installed.
9.1.3 Automatic Transfer/Retransfer
If the preferred source is out of voltage and/or frequency limits, the load is automatically transferred
to the alternate source. The default transfer voltage limits comply with the limits of the IEEE Std.
446-1995 computer voltage tolerance envelope.
If the unit is so configured, the load is retransferred automatically to the preferred source after the
preferred source returns to within the acceptable voltage and frequency limits for at least the defined
retransfer time delay, and is in phase with the alternate source. You can enable and disable auto-
matic retransfer to the preferred source through a user configuration setting.
Automatic Retransfer Inhibited
If the system makes five transfers from the preferred source to the alternate source in a five minute
period, automatic retransfers back to the preferred source is disabled.
To clear this alarm condition, you must assign the alternate source as the preferred source.
instructions on setting the UV detection.
This alarm also is cleared if the unit transfers to the preferred source due to an alternate source AC
volt failure (i.e., an emergency transfer.)
60

Theory of Operation
9.1.4 Emergency Transfer
To ensure that power remains connected to the load, the STS2 automatically performs an emergency
transfer from one input source to the other when an outage occurs on the existing source. The auto-
matic transfer takes place if the other source’s voltage is within acceptable limits, and regardless of
the phase difference between the two sources.
Emergency transfers occur with a loss of power on the output of less than 4 ms.
Emergency transfers from the alternate source to the preferred source are not affected by the Auto
Retransfer Enabled/Disabled or Retransfer Delay user settings.
9.1.5 Load Current Transfer Inhibit
The STS2 senses the load current. If the load current exceeds the preset level deemed to represent a
load inrush or fault condition, the unit’s logic disables manual and automatic transfers, even if the
selected source’s input voltage is outside the acceptable limits. This event triggers an I-Peak alarm. If
so configured, the Load Current Transfer Inhibit is automatically reset after the current and voltage
return to within normal parameters. This reset provides continued protection against a source fail-
ure. The Load Current Transfer Inhibit also can be programmed to require a manual reset. See
9.1.6 SCR Failure
The STS2 continuously monitors the status of the SCR switching devices for proper operation. In the
event of a shorted SCR on the input source powering the load, the STS2 automatically triggers an
alarm and trips open the other source isolation breaker. In the event of a shorted SCR on the other
input source, the STS2 automatically triggers an alarm and trips open the other source isolation
breaker.
In the event of an open SCR, the switch automatically triggers an alarm and transfers the load to the
other source. All open and shorted SCR alarm conditions are latched and require the system to be
repaired and reset to restore normal operation.
9.1.7 On/Off Sequence
The STS2 contains no master On/Off push button control. When connected to the input sources, the
unit’s logic power comes on automatically. The touch screen display (if so equipped) is active as long
as at least one input source is energized and the Control Power Disconnect (located inside the static
switch) is on.
9.2
Detailed Component Description
9.2.1 Controls
Operator Interface
The STS2 Color Graphical Display unit contains a touch screen color LCD to provide the operator

Theory of Operation
Hardware
• The STS2 operator interface in the Color Graphical Display unit is designed to provide all of the
information required to configure and monitor the unit’s operation.
• The control logic performs automatic operations with minimal operator interface.
• Each STS2 unit is equipped with either a color LCD touch screen or a panel of LEDs and push
buttons.
• On LED Display units, the RS-232 interface is used for configuration and status and event log
monitoring. The RS-232 interface can also be used with the Color Graphical Display units, if nec-
essary.
Firmware
The operator interface enables you to monitor the STS2, to configure set points for transfers, monitor
system parameters and access event and history logs. The firmware is accessible through the LCD
touch screen (if installed) or the RS-232 interface. The firmware includes:
• View and set the preferred source.
• View and configure set points.
• View alarms, faults and status.
Additionally, the Color Graphical Display unit provides:
• The mimic graphical representation of the systems operation.
• Menu driven monitoring and configuration.
• Step-by-step instructions to assist you in the start-up, shut-down and bypass operations.
• Help on event messages.
• Touch screen alarm reset and silence buttons.
Events in the system, both faults and alarms, are detected and displayed on the LCD. See 11.0 -
• A set of event masks can be configured through the LCD to trigger a system response to an event.
• Report event conditions from other components of the system.
• Monitor and report changes in event condition states. If the event condition’s state changes from
inactive to active, a new event is detected. If the transition is from active to inactive, the event con-
dition has cleared.
• Process new faults and alarms, and clear inactive alarms.
• Provide the alarm reset and silence options.
9.2.2 Circuit Breakers
Three circuit breakers provide total isolation of the solid-state switching devices with an input
breaker for each source and a load isolation breaker. Two breakers provide for maintenance bypass-
ing of the solid-state switching devices to either input source.
All switches in the STS2 are plug-in types, which allows any switch to be replaced without de-energiz-
ing the output bus. The Merlin Gerin breakers have an interlock in the plug-in base, which prevents
the switch from being withdrawn in the CLOSED position. The switch trips OPEN before it discon-
nects from the plug-in base.
9.2.3 SCRs
Brick-type SCRs are used rated to carry the full 100% rated load. Because the unit is a fuseless design
with non-automatic circuit breakers, overcurrent protection is provided by upstream circuit breakers.

Theory of Operation
9.2.4 Logic Modules
The logic contains three separate redundant logic modules. The modules contain the logic necessary
to run the STS2 and control transfers and shunt trips under all circumstances, without any outside
assistance once set-up and started properly.
9.2.5 Audible Alarm
An audible alarm is installed on the control board. This alarm is triggered by an alarm condition
detected on the unit. The alarm can be turned off from the touch screen (Color Graphical Display
units) or by a push button (LED Display units). Turning off the audible alarm does not clear or reset
the condition that triggered the alarm.

10.4 Maintenance Bypass
The STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow manual
bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for mainte-
nance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While operating
on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the STS2 electronics to facilitate safe repair,
without de-energizing the load using a make-before-break switching sequence.
However, the unit can be bypassed using a make-before-break switching sequence only to the same
source to which that the switch is connected, as indicated by the highlighted static transfer switch box
on the Mimic screen.
In the event of source or switch failure, the unit should be bypassed only to the current input source.
For convenience, instructions for the bypass procedure can be displayed on the touch screen by select-
ing the BYP. PROC option from the menu bar.
The Mimic is used to verify the status of the unit during the bypass procedures. In the unlikely event

Alarm and Faults
11.0 ALARM AND FAULTS
Alarms and faults are events that are triggered when the operation of the static transfer switch falls
outside of the defined parameters. These events can also be triggered by: user actions, such as chang-
ing configurations, clearing logs, etc.; failed components such as a fan failure, an SCR that is open or
closed, etc.; and system status, such as open circuit breakers, load on alternate source, etc. These
events can provide a warning or trigger the system to make a change, such as switch sources or the
recording of a history log.
The STS2 monitoring system detects and annunciates a comprehensive set of fault and alarm condi-
tions. Faults and alarm messages are can be viewed on the LCD touch screen or via the RS-232 port.
On the LCD touch screen, the events are shown in the Status Display panel in the lower left corner of
the touch screen and written to the Event log. You can touch a message to view a definition of an
the touch screen.
page 77 for the commands to view event logs, and alarm and fault lists.
Event actions can be triggered by the settings configured from the Event Masks. See 11.1 - Event
Mask for more information.
Faults — A fault indicates that a component of the STS2 has failed or has been damaged. In the
Event Display, faults are indicated in red.
Alarms — An alarm is an event caused by a significant abnormal system condition. In the Event Dis-
play, alarms are indicated in yellow. The setpoints for many of the alarms are configurable through
the User Settings. Many alarms clear themselves when the condition is resolved. If an alarm event
mask is set to latch, the alarm messages remain active until the alarm condition has been corrected
When the system is furnished with an optional internal or external modem and a telephone line is
connected to the modem, the system can be programmed to automatically dial out upon occurrence of
any of certain designated alarms. The auto-dial feature can be configured for alarms using the Event
setting up your modem.
11.1 Event Mask
The STS2 gathers, processes and reports faults and alarms, collectively referred to below as events.
The Event Mask dialog box allows you to set the system’s response for specific alarms and faults that
are generated.
The following mask types are available for each event:
• Latch — If a latch is enabled for the selected event, that event remains active even if the originat-
ing event condition clears. A latched event may only be cleared by pushing the RESET button
(ALRMRST on the LED units).
• Dial Out — If the selected event is triggered, the system automatically calls the specified tele-
phone numbers through the modem. For example, a page could be sent or an event could be sent
information on configuring communications options.
• Event Log — The selected event is date/time stamped and recorded to the Event Log when the
event is triggered.
• Audible — If the selected event is triggered, an audible beeper or horn is sounded by the STS2.
The beeper continues while this event is active or latched, or until the SILENCE button (NOAUD
on the LED units) is pushed. This button must be pushed with the ALRMRST button on the LED
units.

Alarm and Faults
11.2 Event and History Logs
The system tracks events through the Events Log and tracks significant events through the History
Logs. These logs allow you to quickly spot trends or diagnose problems that the unit may have had.
Both logs are written in nonvolatile memory.
page 77 for the RS-232 interface commands used to access the logs.
11.2.1 Event Log
The events are tracked in sequence of occurrence. The sequence of occurrence is identified by date,
time, and frame number. The last 512 events are stored in a nonvolatile memory and can be viewed
from the Event Log.
Event logs wrap, meaning when the log is full, the oldest event is deleted when a new event is written
to the log.
The Event Log tracks:
• # — the sequence number in which the event occurred since the log was last cleared.
• Message — the event that occurred, such as Ambient Over temp., Source 1 Fail, etc.
these events.
• ID — the event identifier.
• Date and Time — when the event occurred.
• Faults — the number of fault events logged.
• Alarms — the number of alarm events logged.
• User Alarms — the number of alarm events logged that were triggered by user-created alarms,
such as those alarms created with the Input Contact Isolator settings.
• Total — the sum of all the events currently logged.
11.2.2 History Log
When a designated major alarm occurs, the History Status buffer is frozen, capturing 64 sequential
frames before and after the alarm condition. When the History Status buffer is frozen, a History Log
is created.
Two History Logs are available to track major alarms. This log includes the triggering event plus the
surrounding events, and the system voltages, currents, frequency, power, source selection and
breaker positions at the time of the event. The History Log displays the 64 sequential frames, in
4-millisecond intervals, of the Present Status screens surrounding the event.
If you are viewing the log from the touch screen, the Mimic and the Event Display show the data that
was present as the alarm was triggered. The data is displayed as frames are played.
The History Log allows you to replay the events leading up to the alarm and the events right after the
alarm to see the status of the switch at that time and diagnose the cause of the alarm. The History
Log is triggered when certain events are tripped that have the Freeze option enabled.
You can run through the frames sequentially. The sequence of the events is identified by date, time,
and frame number. The History Log frames are stored in a nonvolatile memory buffer that is continu-
ously overwritten until a designated fault condition occurs. When the fault occurs to trigger a freeze,
the History Log stores the next 23 frames, then freezes until it is reset. The History Log then keeps 40
frames before the fault, the frame where the fault occurred, plus the next 23 frames.
The History Log should not be reset until the fault condition that caused the buffer to freeze is
reviewed and investigated by a qualified service technician. After the alarm condition has been cor-
rected, the History Log can be cleared.

Alarm and Faults
The History Log has the following fields:
• Replay Rate — indicates how long it takes for the replay to play. Use the UP and DOWN buttons
to set the time.
• Status — the status of the STS2 at the point of the current frame in the replay. The History log
has three statuses: Frozen, Not Frozen and Retrieving Data, please stand by.
• Critical Event — The event which triggered this log to be written. The event is indicated in red on
the bar graph.
• Frame Number — the current frame in the replay. A negative number indicates the replay is at a
point before the triggering event occurred.
11.3 Alarm Notes
The I-PK on Source 1 and I-PK on Source 2 alarms inhibit automatic transfer due to an overload or
load fault. These alarms can be set for either auto or manual alarm reset.
In the auto reset mode, the alarm is reset as soon as the load current and source voltage return to nor-
mal, and transfers are no longer inhibited. In manual mode, the alarm remains active and transfers
are inhibited until the conditions return to normal and the user manually presses the RESET button
(ALRMRST button on LED units). In either case, the cause of the Source 1 or Source 2 I-Peak over-
load should be investigated and resolved (such as by reducing the overload condition or clearing the
output fault) before returning the switch to normal operation.
These events indicate a device failure. The device must be replaced and the system must be restarted
for the fault to clear. A shorted SCR automatically trips open a source input switch (CB1 or CB2) to
prevent transfers in the event of an SCR failure. The SCR failure must be investigated and repaired
before returning the switch to normal operation. Both source input switches must be opened (such as
when the unit is placed in maintenance bypass for servicing) before a shorted or open SCR alarm can
be reset.

Communication Interfaces
12.0 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES
The STS2 monitoring system offers several choices for communications.
The RS-232 terminal port is standard on all units. The port is located inside the front door, to the left
an alternate user interface to configure, control, and diagnose the system, especially for systems that
Several other communications options are also available. Those options are located a Communica-
tions compartment to the right of the touch screen/LED front panel and are accessible when the front
Connections to the communication ports are made by wiring to terminal boards located in the Com-
munications compartment. The communications options listed below reference the control wiring
drawing for each option.
• Internal modem (optional) — the connection to this modem is through a standard RJ-11 port. This
port automatically dials the programmed telephone number when a designated alarm occurs.
Automatic dial attempts are made to the first phone number at periodic intervals for 30 minutes.
After that time, auto dial attempts are made to the second phone number at periodic intervals for
the next 30 minutes. The process is repeated until a successful connection is made. Upon success-
ful connection, the system transmits the status information and then hangs up. System status
and history information can be requested and date and time can be changed through the modem.
the internal modem.
• Network Interface Card (NIC) (optional) — the NIC provides connectivity to any TCP/IP-based
Ethernet network to allow the device to communicate with network management systems (NMS)
via SNMP. Events can be transmitted to the NMS to provide remote status monitoring, plus fault
and alarm detection. The NIC includes an RJ-45 port for an Ethernet connection, via Category 5
cable.
The NIC can also integrate the system with an existing Building Management System (BMS) or
out-of-band monitoring, using Mobus, a standard multi-drop protocol. The NIC has redundant
communication paths that make it possible to connect to a BMS using Modbus while simulta-
neously communicate to a NMS through SNMP
OpenComms Network Interface Card Installation and Users Guide.
• Input Contact Isolator (ICI) Board (optional) — provides an interface for up to eight user inputs.
External messages and alarms can be routed to the unit, via the ICI.
• Programmable Relay Board (PRB) (optional) — up to two PRBs can be installed in the STS2 to
route STS2 events to external devices.
• Comms Board (optional) — includes a terminal block to provide a DTE connection to an external
modem. This board also provides a direct connection to a SiteScan terminal, via an RS-422.
SiteLink-12 or SiteLink-4 is required for SiteScan to communicate with the STS2. See Figure 26
for wiring details.
Data link requirements are Full Duplex Asynchronous RS-232 format.
12.1 Using the RS-232 Port
The RS-232 port is configured with a baud rate of 9600 with 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity, and no
hardware handshaking.

12.1.2 Configuring the STS2 via the Terminal
The SPT command is used to configure the systems setpoints. The SVT syntax for the setpoints con-
sists for four parameters:
SPT [group] [item] [value]
where the parameters are:
• SPT — is the terminal command that is used to configure setpoints.
• group — the group under the setpoint command which contains the desired settings.
• item — the item number within the selected group.
• value — the desired value for this item.
Only the specific options words listed in this section use a hexadecimal value. Other settings, depend-
ing on what they are, use other input types. For example, System ID uses a text string, nominal volt-
ages and currents use standard numeric integers, and modem baud rate uses an enumeration where
0 = 2400, 1 = 9600, & 2 = 19200 bps.
NOTE
Spaces are placed between each parameter, but not between characters or numbers in a
parameter. Using an underline here to represent a space, an example of a the syntax is:
SPT_2_6_0081. 0081 is the value parameter.
This section provides instructions for setting these parameters, with an example of building an SPT
command for System and User settings.
Groups Parameter
The setpoints are grouped for ease of configuration. For example, Event Masks are group 4 and Sys-
tem Settings are group 2. The numbers shown below are entered for the group parameter. For exam-
ple, start of a System Settings command is SPT 2.
The group parameters are:
1 = System Ratings
2 = System Settings
3 = User Settings
4 = Event Mask Settings
For example, the start of a System Settings command is SPT 2, where SPT is the system setpoints
command and 2 is the group parameter for System Settings.
Event Mask parameters.
Item Parameter
numbers are also displayed on the terminal when you list the configuration setting for a particular
group
Continuing with the example, to configure an Options_1 setting under System Settings, the command
would begin with SPT 2 6
where 6 is the value Options_1. Note the space between each parameter.

12.1.3 Setting Bitpacked Options with the Terminal
Five sets of options and features settings are available through the terminal to control the system
operation.
Under System Settings for the SPT command, these items denote which options are INSTALLED:
• 6 — Options_1
• 14 — Comms Options 1
• 15 — Comms Options 2
Under User Settings, for the SPT command, these items denote which features are ENABLED:
• 17 — Critical Option Enabling
• 18 — Non-Critical Option Enabling
The value parameter settings are in the form of a bit-packed word (in hexidecimal notation). In other
words, each bit indicates a particular setting for the option or feature. The bit assignments for the
options and features are as follows:
Options_1
bit0 —HasDualOutputBreaker
bit1 — HasPDU
bit2 — Has4PoleTransferSwitch
bit3 — HasShuntTrip
bit4 — HasWyeOutputXfmr
bit5 — HasExternalPrecisionTimeSource
bit6 — HasSFA

bit1—EnableAutoRestart
bit2 through bit15 - not used (set to 0)
Non-Critical Option Enab
bit0 — EnableAutoReXfer
bit1 through bit15 — not used (set to 0)
The bits are set in reverse order, from bit 15 on the left to bit 0 (zero) on the right. The bits are
grouped in four sets of four bits each, as such:
0000 0000 0000 0000
|................................|
bit 15.........................bit 0
Since each bit represents a setting, a bit can be enabled or disabled:
• 1 = installed option or enabled feature
– or –
• 0 = option not installed or feature not enabled
Enabling or disabling the bits in each group creates a binary value for that group. For example, if the
fourth bit in a group is set to 1, the group group’s binary value is 0001.
Each group is translated into a hexidecimal equivalent. The group with the value of 0001 has a hex
equivalent of 1.
You can use this table to help with the conversion:

The hex value for each group is entered in the command as four digits.
To summarize the procedure:
1. Set each bit position.
2. Convert the binary value each group into its hex equivalent.
3. Enter the hex values for each group, in order, into the command for the value parameter.
The following example explains how the conversion is completed.

Putting the Terminal Command Together
For example, a unit only has the Remote Source Selection and Dual-Output Breaker options installed.
Checking the bits list under Options_1 on page 81, bits 7 and 0 each must be set to 1 to indicate
that these options are installed.
The bit setting is as follows, starting with bit 15 on the left and going down to bit 0:
0000 0000 1000 0001
With the bits combined in groups of four, the binary settings can be translated into hexidecimal val-
ues.
The first two groups in the sample equal zero (0). In the third group, 1000 in binary translates to 8 in
hex. In the fourth group, 0001 in binary translates to 1 in hex.
In hex this equates to (digits in the value parameter cannot have spaces between them):
0081
So your command to indicate that the Remote Source Selection and the Dual-Output Breaker are
installed would be:
SPT 2 6 0081
12.1.4 Setting Event Masks with the Terminal
The event masks can be customized via a terminal. The command SPT4?<ENTER> displays all faults
and alarms, along with their associated event masks. A plus sign (+) means that particular event
mask is enabled, while a minus sign (-) means that mask is disabled.
flags.
Unlike the System and User Settings, mask values are set by designated letters, not hex values. How-
ever, as with other RS-232 interface settings, four parameters are passed. See 12.1.2 - Configuring
The syntax for configuring event masks is:
SPT 4 ID ±D±L±S±E±A
• SPT — is the terminal command used to configure setpoints.
• 4 — setting (group parameter) for event masks, under System Settings.
• ID — event ID. The ID is the item parameter for this command. The ID numbers for each event
• D,L,S,E,A — the event masks: Dial, Latch, Summary, Event log, and Audible. The masks are the
value parameter for the command.
Each mask type must be preceded by a plus sign (+) to enable it, or a minus sign (-) to disable it.
NOTE
NO spaces are placed between each mask listed above.
Only the mask that is passed (enabled) is applied when the event occurs.
Note that the Summary and Event Log event masks are only configurable for the LED units.
To set the event masks for a particular event:
1. Enter the command. Examples and descriptions are provided below.
2. Press ENTER.
After the new settings are entered, the new results for that event ID are displayed.

Examples of Event Mask Settings
• To latch event #001, S1 SCR SHORT, use SPT 4 1 +L.
• To disable event #128, CONFIG MODIFIED, from sounding the horn, use SPT 4 100 -A.
• To enable event #012, OUT VOLT SENSE FAIL, to Dial and go into the Event Log, use
SPT 4 12 +D+E.
• To disable all masks for event #120, INPUT CONTACT #1, use SPT 4 120 -D-L-S-E-A.
To breakdown this syntax for the last example:
• SPT — SVT command
• 4 — group parameter, identifying System Setting group under which the Event Mask settings
reside.
• 120 — item parameter. In this command, that is the event ID.
• -D-L-S-E-A — value parameter. In this case, the minus sign (-)disables all masks for the INPUT
CONTACT #1 event.

13.3 Mimic Display
The Mimic display provides a color diagram of the operation of the STS2. This display imitates the
power flow through the static transfer switch and indicates source status, breaker status, switch sta-
tus, source voltage and current readings, output power measurements, and active alarm messages.
13.4 Event Controls
The STS 2 detects events when certain thresholds are passed or certain problems occur. The alarm
controls allow you to acknowledge the existence of these events.
• RESET — All latched events whose conditions have cleared are removed from the Event Display.
Faults and alarms that remain active, or are not recoverable, are not affected when this button is
selected. This button is also used to perform manual I-Peak resets and manual retransfers.
• SILENCE — turns off the audible alarm (horn or beeper) without resetting the triggering event.
This setting does not permanently turn off the horn. The alarm sounds again when the next event
with an audible alarm setting is triggered.
Active events are shown in the Event Display, whereas cleared events can be reviewed via the Event
Log.
13.5 Event Display
The Event Display lists the condition of the STS2 in real-time. Both nominal system parameters and

Source Set Points
The Source 1/2 Set Points allows you to configure trigger points for each input source (1 or 2) for the
STS2 via a keypad dialog or HI/LO dialog box. The source numbers do not designate the source as the
preferred or alternate source. The numbers simply identify the input source. See 10.2 - Manual
Transfer / Preferred Source Selection to set the preferred source.
The Set Points are based on values in relation to the nominal voltage required for the STS2. UV refers
to under voltage, meaning the amount of voltage below the nominal voltage. OV refers to over voltage,
or the amount of voltage over the nominal voltage.
• Fast UV Setting (%) — if the voltage drops below this set percentage of the nominal voltage, the
STS2 transfers from the current source to the opposite source.
• Slow UV Setting (%) — if the voltage remains this set percentage below the nominal voltage for
the period of the slow detection delay, the STS2 transfers from the current source to the opposite
source.
• Slow UV detection delay — the number of cycles that the source must remain below the Slow UV
Setting before the STS2 transfers.
• OV Setting (%) — if the voltage exceeds this set percentage of the nominal voltage for the period of
the OV detection delay, the STS2 transfers from the current source to the opposite source.
• OV Detection Delay — the number of cycles that the source must remain above the OV Setting
before the STS2 transfers sources.
• I-PK Xfer Lockout — if current from the source exceeds this threshold, the STS2 disables source
transfers, and has to be reset either manually or automatically. The type of reset is configured
under the User Settings.

If your unit has an LCD touch screen, see10.0 - Operating Instructions for the Touch Screen
Interface for instructions these procedures.
14.2.1 Normal System Turn-On
NOTE
If your STS2 is connected to a PDU with a Wye configuration, enable the Wye Output
Transformer before starting the system. This configuration can be done from a PC terminal.
This section provides instructions to turn on your STS2. The LEDs provide the basic information
required to ensure proper operation. To monitor metering data, use a PC terminal.
1. Ensure that all STS2 breakers—CB1, CB2, CB3A (if supplied), CB3, CB4, and CB5—are in the
OFF (open) position.
a. Ensure that the key interlocks for CB1 and CB2 have their bolts retracted.
b. Ensure that the key interlocks for CB4 and CB5 have their bolts extended, thus preventing
CB4 or CB5 from being turned ON.
c. Ensure that the circuit breakers respective LEDs are off.
2. Source/input power should be applied to both STS2 inputs.
Check that the green LEDs for each source are lit.
3. Verify that nominal input voltages are applied to both inputs (Source 1 and Source 2).
Check that the green LEDs monitoring the sources are lit indicating the sources are within
acceptable tolerances.

6. Verify that the preferred source LED (green) (LED_PREFx) is lit for the source that you want the
switch to be using.
7. Verify that the green LED for the corresponding SCR (STS1 or STS2) is lit, indicating that the
SCR is closed.
8. Close Output Breaker CB3 (and CB3A in a redundant output configuration).
9. Verify the CB3 LED is lit, indicating that CB3 is closed and the output and load are energized.
• In a redundant output configuration, verify the CB3A LED is lit, indicating that CB3A is
closed and the output and load are energized
10. Press the Reset and Silence buttons simultaneously to reset any previous alarms.
11. Verify that no red or yellow (amber) LEDs are lit indicating an active alarm, transfer is inhibited
or a bypass circuit breaker is closed.
If the alarm LED remains lit, check the PC terminal to identify the alarm. Refer to 11.0 - Alarm
and Faults for a description of the alarms and possible causes. All active alarm conditions should
be corrected before proceeding.
12. If the unit is supplied with an output distribution cabinet, close output breakers as required.
13. Turn on the load equipment following the load equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
14.2.2 Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection
The preferred source buttons allow you to change the preferred source. Transfers are only permitted
when the voltage and current are within their proper operating range and the sources are synchro-
nized. Transfer is inhibited if the deviation exceeds the parameter set in the Source Set Points.
NOTE
If one source will be de-energized for an extended period (hours or days), set the unit to bypass
mode for the remaining source. Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch
components for remaining source, the STS2 does not have a second source to switch to and the
instructions.
To manually select the preferred source:
1. Ensure that the Transfer Inhibit (NOXF) LED is not lit.
If the Transfer Inhibit LED is lit:
• Check to see if the red alarm LED is lit.
• If the alarm LED is lit, check the alarm messages on a PC terminal.
• Correct alarm conditions before attempting a source transfer.
NOTE
When the remote source selection option (Remote Control) is activated, a change of state
(Remote Preferred Source Selection) may initiate a transfer if the appropriate contacts are
closed.
2. Verify that the LEDs are lit for both sources, indicating power is present and within acceptable
tolerances.
3. Verify that the LEDs for the SCRs (STS1 and STS2) are lit.
4. Verify that the input breakers CB1 and CB2 are closed.
• Verify that their respective LEDs are lit.
The Preferred Source (LED_PREFx) LED turns on for that source.
When conditions are correct, the switch transfers the load to the alternate source by selecting the
alternate source as the preferred source.
This source is now monitored as the preferred source throughout the various configurations set up
through the PC terminal.
6. Check the LEDs to verify that the correct source is designated as the preferred source and that
the input source changes to the desired source and the output (OUT) LED remains lit.

Operating the LED Display STS2
14.2.3 Maintenance Bypass
The STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow manual
bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for mainte-
nance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While operating
on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the STS2 electronics to facilitate safe repair,
without de-energizing the load using a make-before-break switching sequence.
However, the unit can be bypassed using a make-before-break switching sequence only to the same
source to which that the switch is connected.
In the event of source or switch failure, the unit should be bypassed only to the current input source.

15.1.6 Input Surge Suppression
The STS2 is equipped with transient voltage surge suppression on each input for maximum surge
suppression. The surge suppression is capable of protecting the STS2 from operating outside of toler-
ances due to surges as defined by IEC 1000-4-5 (1.2/50uS surge, 2kV CM and 1kV DM) as required
under EN 50091-2.
15.1.7 Response Time
A dual level fast/slow transfer threshold is used for under voltage detection to allow the STS2 to be
compatible with UPSs and generators. The voltage thresholds and the slow transfer delay time is
user-adjustable. The fast transfer delay time is less than 4 ms.
The over voltage detection uses a single threshold, with programmable level and delay time.

Specifications
15.2 System Components
All STS2 models provide two static transfer switches within one enclosure, with the ability to transfer
between two input sources to a single output.
All STS2s are configured with either an LCD Color Graphical Interface touch screen display or LEDs
for monitoring and configuring the unit.
This section lists the common components and the differences for both types of units.
15.2.1 Frame and Enclosure
The complete STS2 is housed in a freestanding enclosure. The cabinet is a NEMA type 1 enclosure
and meets IP20 requirements. The cabinet is structurally designed to handle lifting from the base.
The frame is designed to accommodate floor stands.

The distributed floor weight for STS2 is less than 150 lbs./sq. ft. (660kg/m²).
The required service access is only from the front of the unit.
The STS2 can be tipped 15° in any direction without falling over.
15.2.2 Castors, Leveling and Seismic Anchoring
The frame includes heavy-duty swivel castors for ease of installation, plus permanent leveling feet for
final installation.
The unit also can be fastened to the floor using optional seismic anchors to meet seismic Zone 4
for installing seismic anchoring.
15.2.3 Cooling
The STS2 100 – 600A units utilize convection air cooling for the enclosure with forced air cooling of
the heat sinks. The 800-1000A units are fan cooled using low-velocity fans to minimize audible noise.
All fans are redundant so that a single fan failure cannot cause temperatures to increase beyond
acceptable limits.
Air intake is through screened protective openings in the front of the unit. A standard furnace filter is
installed behind the openings.
By opening the front door, the filter can be changed easily without exposing personnel to high voltage.
The size of the filter is 1 in. x 25 in. x 25 in. (2.54 cm x 63.5 cm x 63.5 cm).
The air exhaust is through the top of the unit.

Specifications
15.2.4 Access
The STS2 is designed so all repairs and maintenance can be done from the front or top of the unit. All
components that may need repair or replacement during routine field maintenance are safely
accessed with the units in bypass without removing power from the unit. These components include:
• All electronic PCB assemblies
• Power supply assemblies
• All fuses
• All circuit breaker plug-in modules
• Fans
• SCRs
All power connections are designed to maintain proper connection torque over the lifetime of the unit
without any maintenance. The integrity of the connections can be checked via infrared scanning
safely from the front or top of the unit.
All other components including power cables and connections, circuit breaker bases, etc. are replace-
able from the front or top of the unit only, but this requires all power to be removed from the unit for
safety. Although routine re-torquing of the power connections is not required, if maintenance of these
connections is needed, complete removal of power is required from the unit for safety reasons.
WARNING
!
Lethal voltages exist inside the unit during normal operation. Only qualified service
personnel should perform maintenance on the static switch.
The unit is supplied by more than one power source. The unit contains hazardous voltages if
any of the input sources is ON, even when the unit is in bypass. To isolate the unit, turn OFF
and lock out ALL input power sources.
Verify that all input power sources are de-energized and locked out before making connections
inside unit.
15.2.5 Circuit Breakers
The STS2 is equipped with five molded-case, plug-in, non-automatic circuit breakers. The breakers
are UL listed for use up to 600 VAC and CE marked. The plug-in feature of the breaker includes an
interlock, which prevents the breaker from being unplugged without being in the OFF (open) position.
Mechanical interlocks are provided on the breakers to prevent improper maintenance bypassing of
the solid-state switch. A bypass breaker cannot be closed unless the solid-state switch is connected to
the same input source and only one bypass breaker can be closed at a time. All breakers are equipped
with N.O. and N.C. auxiliary switches for monitoring of the breaker positions. The two input breakers
for the solid-state switching devices also are equipped with 48 VDC shunt trips to allow for control by
15.2.6 Cable Entrance
Removable conduit termination plates are provided in the top and bottom of the STS2 for termination
of the two source input conduits or raceways and/or the output conduits or raceways.
15.2.7 Doors
A removable key lock hinged front door provides access to the circuit breakers.
15.2.8 Color Graphical Display or LED Display
The display is located in the front of the unit. Front panel display is either an LCD touch screen dis-
play for monitoring and configuring the unit, or an LED panel to monitor the unit's status.
See Figure 31 for a drawing of the touch screen display. See Figure 63 for the layout of the LED dis-
play.
