Cat ATC-900 CONTROLLER
The ATC-900 C9ontroller is a programmable microprocessor-based monitoring device for use on Cat transfer switches. Data access and programming operations are performed using the ATC-900's touch sensitive function buttons in conjunction with an easy-to-read illuminated alphanumeric LED display. Both the functional buttons and the display window are part of the device's door mounted front panel. A built in Help button provides user assistance in the form of message displays.
The communication option permits monitoring and control of several transfer switches, locally or remotely from a single point. Depending on the application, the user can customize the ATC-800 to meet the particular application. The ATC-900 is equipped to display historical information either via the front panel or over mod bus communications to a personal computer. Source 1 and Source 2 run time, available time and connect time are available, as well as load energized time, number of transfers, date, time and reason for the last 16 transfers.

Atc-800 programming
- Buttons provide easy access to all commonly used ATC-800 functions. When Source 1 is connected and the ATS is operating normally, the automatic indicator light will be flashing and the display window will be blank.
- Source 1
- Source 2
- Load History
- Time/Date
- Set Points
Using the Display Select button, the operator can step through each of the six display families:
Initial programming
Factory programming will load all standard features and customer-specified options per the default settings.
Customer programing
- Customers may reprogram set points and other parameters to match their application using the Program switch located on the rear of the unit. Once the programming mode has been activated and the Program light is flashing, the user may access Set Point settings by pressing the Display Select button until the Set Points LED is illuminated.
- Values for individual set points may then be altered by pressing the Increase (arrow up) or Decrease (arrow down) buttons. Once a parameter has been reset, the user advances to the next set point by pressing the Step button. While the ATC-800 is in the Program mode, the device continues to operate in accordance with the previously programmed set points and parameters.
- The unit is never offline and preset values do not change until programming has been completed. Once reprogramming is complete, the user may return the Program switch to the Run position. At this point, all new values are stored in the ATC-800 nonvolatile memory and the unit returns to Automatic mode.
Open transition / in phase monitor
In-phase monitor is a feature that will allow a transfer between two sources only when the phase difference between the two sources is near zero. This is an open transition transfer that prevents in-rush currents from exceeding normal starting currents in the case where motor loads are being transferred.
Open transition / delayed with load voltage
Load voltage decay transfer is a feature that, after opening the switch for the original source, holds in the neutral position until the voltage on the load is less than 30% of rated voltage. This operation is an open transition that prevents in-rush currents from exceeding normal starting currents in the case where motor loads are being transferred.
Operation
- The Cat ATC-800 transfer operates in the following modes:
- Loss of normal power
- Open transition to alternate source
- Normal power restored
- Open transition back to normal source
- Test (user selectable)
- Load transfer—open transition to and from alternate source
- No-load transfer—starts alternate power source and allows to run unloaded; no transfer takes place
