AC Voltage Sensitive Relay VSR 330 |
The VSR 330 employs solid-state sensing with the versatility of a plug-in design. Nominal operating voltage for the device is a safe 12VAC (transformer supplied). Pickup and dropout points are adjustable via high resolution 10-turn pots. One or more units may be connected in parallel. The device's L.E.D. will give instant recognition of operation, affording easy set-up and field trouble shooting of equipment. A specially designed filter network has been employed to reduce false switching due to sine wave distortion, such as that caused by SCR controlled power equipment. The delay dropout option is valuable when the application makes insensitivity to voltage dips beneficial.

Automatic Transfer Switches TS 840 |

Thomson Technology TS 840 series of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) employ two mechanically interlocked enclosed contact power switching units and a microprocessor based controller to automatically transfer system load to a generator supply in the event of a utility supply failure. System load is automatically re-transferred back to the utility supply following restoration of the utility power source to within normal operating limits.
Thomson Technology TS 840 Service Entrance Automatic Transfer Switches incorporate an isolating mechanism and over current protection on the utility supply thereby removing the need to have a separate, upstream circuit breaker/disconnect switch from the transfer switch. This unique Service Entrance Rated Automatic Transfer Switch design is incorporated into a standard sized automatic transfer switch enclosure providing a space saving, cost effective solution for most applications.

The BCM 1220 AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER is suitable for charging either lead-acid or nickelcadmium batteries. Its output is accurately controlled by a sophisticated electronic control network which assures that batteries are maintained at exact voltage levels for optimal battery performance. The BCM 1220 may be left continuously connected without battery overcharging. The automatic current-limiting feature of the BCM 1220 means that it may be connected to engine starting batteries, including during cranking, without excessive current flowing. The output leads of the charger may even be shorted together without damage. Reverse polarity protection is provided.
|

The BCM 1230 Battery Charging Module is intended to be installed as an accessory device in a generator control panel, transfer switch, or similar equipment.The BCM 1230's function is to act as a fully automatic trickle charging device, which will accurately maintain a battery at a preset "float" voltage, thus keeping it fully charged while not in use.

Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch TS 870 |
| The TS 870 bypass isolation switch provides the same reliable features that are available in the TS 870 automatic transfer switch.The TS 870 bypass isolation switch incorporates two basic types for bypass-isolation. Type "B" (double-sided ) isolates the transfer switch and can bypass either the utility or generator source of the load, as selected by the operator. Single-sided bypass types "D" (utility bypass) and "C" (generator bypass) can bypass only one source to the load (in accordance with CSA 282-00 - Institutional & Residential Buildings Occupancy Group Band C). Note: CSA 282-00 requires (as a minimum) a single sided bypass on the generator supply. The TS 870 series mechanisms utilize enclosed contact power switching units which provide a 100% continuous rating. The switches are mounted independently on a common frame.

Electronic Engine Speed Sensor FSR 230 |

The FSR 230 speed switch employs precision solid-state sensing networks to sense the frequency of an incoming signal. As the setpoint of any switch is exceeded, that output relay will become energized. The setpoints are adjustable over a wide range by 15 turn potentiometers. Adjustment and service procedures are simplified by LED "ON" state indicators. The transformer sensing input requires a 12VAC secondary stepdown transformer energized from a generator set's output terminals. The FSR 230 is ideally suited as a crank disconnect sensor, as it will operate faithfully on a residual output voltage as low as 5% of nominal output voltage. (For applications with a seriously distorted sine wave, such as with SCR switched inductive loads, use of a magnetic pickup is recommended.)

Generator Set Annunciator EAP 1600 |

The EAP 1600 series annunciator is designed to provide remote audible and visual indication of the status of a generator set. Each alarm circuit is energized by a contact located in the generator set control panel. The LED for that particular circuit will glow, and the audible alarm will sound. The audible alarm may be silenced, or all annunciators tested by operating the toggle switch. Alarm circuits reset when the respective initiating contacts are opened. Annunciating circuits may be tailored to specific applications by specifying LED colors (red, green or amber), and whether the audible alarm should sound for each point.
