Logic Controller

The MX150 features include:

• Timer and voltage/frequency settings adjustable without
disconnection from the power section
• Built-in diagnostics with an LCD display for immediate
troubleshooting
• Event Log of last 16 events.
• In Phase Monitor (see description later in document)
• LED/LCD indicators for ease of viewing and long life
• Nonvolatile memory—clock battery backup not required
for standard switch operation
• Processor and digital circuitry isolated from line voltage
• Inputs optoisolated for high electrical immunity to
transients and noise
• Communications Modbus network interface (RS232)

The MX150 comes in two standard configurations:(refer

table below)
MSTDG –(Stocked)
MEXEG – Indent
Both of these configurations also have additional option
which can be added to special order.

The SET (setting) menu is primarily used to show or change,

time and voltage settings.
The CFG menu is primarily used to turn an option on or off.
When scrolling through these menus, no changes can be made
without entry of the access code.
The factory set six-digit access code is located on a white label
on the back of the unit.

Engine Start Relay

In-Phase Monitor
ZTG ATS senses when the sources are as far out as 2 Hz or as close
as .01Hz in frequency differential of each other and transfers the load
to and from either source in-phase.
The monitor tracks the frequency of both the Utility and Generator
sources allowing a smooth, synchronous transfer of the load, which is
especially beneficial where conveyors, pumps and other motor loads
are involved.

ZTG indicates it is waiting for the sources to synchronize by holding

the Timer/In-Phase LED on. When synchronized, the ATS will transfer Controls Power Supply (CPS).
the Load (within 20° of each other, if sources are within 2Hz (Drops Voltage from Line Voltage
differential), and the Timer/In-Phase LED will turn off. to Controller input)
Controls Power Supply (CPS).
(Drops Voltage from Line Voltage
If the sources fail to synchronize, after 1 minute, the controller will to Controller input)
blink the Timer/In-Phase LED once, alerting the operator that the In-
Phase monitor function can be bypassed by pressing the CANCEL key,
causing an immediate transfer (see Cancel Key function).
If the CANCEL key is not pressed, the ZTG will continue to wait for an
in- Phase condition to occur.

In a typical ATS application, one source is on the utility and one source is a backup system such as a gas or diesel generator. Because
sources have a slight frequency difference, sources come in and out of phase.
If ZTG In-Phase Monitor is on, The ZTG ATS Controller monitors both sources and transfers the Load at the ideal time to minimize
back-EMF conditions.

In the case of both sources coming from the same source, or, one configured as WYE and the other as DELTA, the frequency
difference is fixed at the same frequency or fixed but 30 degrees out of phase. In those cases, In-Phase Monitor can be turned off.
In-Phase Monitor is turned on as default from the factory. To turn In-Phase Monitor OFF or ON, take the following steps:

Turn In-Phase Monitor OFF:

1. Remove all power, (both S1 and S2) from the controller. Wait at least 20 seconds.
2. From the keypad, hold both the BYPASS and CANCEL keys down while energizing either source. If In-Phase Monitor was on, the
Timer / In-phase LED will flash once for 1 second, then go out. The In-Phase Monitor is now off.

Turn In-Phase Monitor ON:

1. Remove all power, (both S1 and S2) from the controller. Wait at least 20 seconds.
2. From the keypad, hold both the BYPASS and CANCEL keys down while energizing either source. If In-Phase Monitor was off, the
Timer/In-Phase LED will light and remain lit
until the keys are released. The In-Phase Monitor is now on.

 Operating Sequence

Standard Transition

Source 1 Power Failure:

When voltage or frequency has fallen below the preset "Fail" values;

-The controller initiates the Time Delay Engine Start Timer "P".

- Engine start Signal is sent to Source 2.

When Source 2 voltage and frequency reach the preset "Restore" Values,

- The time delay to Source 2 Timer (W) begins (to ensure voltage and frequency stabilization before transfer).
- A manual pushbutton BYPASS is provided to bypass the "W" time delay if desired.

- The load is now transferred to Source 2 line.

-The transfer switch is mechanically locked. SN limit switch awaits the next operation to Source 1.

Restoration of Source 1 Power:

When Source 1 power reach the preset "Restore" values;

- The delay to Source 1 Timer (T) begins (to ensure voltage and frequency stabilization before retransfer).
- A manual pushbutton BYPASS is provided to bypass the "T" time delay if desired.

- The load is now transferred to Source 1.

- The transfer switch is mechanically locked. SE limit switch awaits the next operation to Source 2.

- The S2 Stop Delay Timer (Delay to Engine Stop "U") begins (to allow Source 2 Engine to run unloaded).
- A manual pushbutton BYPASS is provided to bypass the "U" time delay if desired.

- Upon completion of the (U) timing cycle, the controller sends an Engine stop signal.

When Source 2 voltage and frequency reach the preset "Restore" values,

- The delay to open Source 1 timer (W) begins its timing cycle (to ensure voltage and frequency stabilization

- A manual pushbutton BYPASS is provided to bypass the "W" time delay if desired.

- The load is transferred to the Open position.

- The time delay to Source 2 timer (DW) begins its timing cycle.

- The load is now transferred to Source 2 line.

- The transfer switch is mechanically locked. SN limit switch awaits the next operation to Source 1.
