Our changeover switch unit is configured at the factory to 400 volts, 50 Hz, 3 phases+neutral.
When the equipment is switched on, the electronic system automatically analyses the voltage,
frequency and network type.
However, if the voltage is unstable or the connection is incorrect when it is switched on (phase
not connected), the configuration will be falsified. Nevertheless, it is still possible to reconfigure
the system (see section 5.2.1) as soon as the voltage stabilises or after modifying the
connection.
Thank you for choosing a product from our range of changeover switch units, we hope that it
will bring you every satisfaction.
1 - Precautions before installation and commissioning

Before connecting the unit to the electrical supply and before commissioning the changeover
switch unit, please read this instruction manual carefully. This manual explains in detail all the stages
for operating your changeover switch unit. Carefully reading through all the stages described below
will enable you to be up and running quickly and efficiently and in complete safety.
This manual should be kept near to the changeover switch unit for easy reference by users.
We would remind you that operating a changeover switch unit produces different voltage
sources which result in voltage potentials that are dangerous to the human body. For this
reason, only qualified electrical personnel are permitted to commission our changeover switch
units. The seller accepts no responsibility in the event of failure to observe any of the
instructions set out below.
The changeover switch unit is designed to operate with an alternating supply voltage of 440
volts maximum ( ), for the network and the generating set. Any connection to a nominal
voltage higher than this value will damage the internal components.
( ) Note: the components will however withstand any variations around the maximum voltage, within
the equipment's operating limits (see sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3).
3/24 33514044401_3_1
Our product range covers various ratings ranging from 25A to 3150A. Please check to
ensure that the changeover switch unit you are installing is correct for the use for which
it is intended. In this respect, it is necessary to check that the current flowing through the
equipment does not exceed the nominal thermal capacity of the changeover switch unit
switching components. Our equipment is designed to operate in the AC1 category, ie.
with no overload permissible, even short-term, at a maximum internal temperature of
40°C (see also § 9).
The capacity of the changeover switch unit (nominal thermal rating in amps), is marked on the
inside of the equipment on the product information plate (see section 3.1).
Our changeover switch units are not equipped with a device to protect against overload and
short circuits which may occur downstream of the changeover switch unit. For this reason, it is
necessary to check that suitable protection is fitted upstream of the changeover switch unit;
both for the network and for the generating set. The seller accepts no responsibility for any
equipment damage arising as a result of a downstream short circuit.
For all electrical connections (power supply and remote control unit), please consult the
electrical wiring diagram supplied with this operating manual.
The changeover switch unit is an electrical device; it must also be protected against:
9 water (immersion, splashing, damp locations or locations near running water, condensation,
etc.)
9 sources of extreme heat (fire, heat from internal combustion engines)
9 dust and harmful environments (acids, gases, etc.).
The changeover switch unit is also potentially dangerous (presence of electrical voltage).
Incorrect use may lead to damage or injury. It must therefore be installed out of the reach of children,
the public and persons not qualified to use it.
Finally, it is forbidden to place dangerous and/or flammable substances (paper, rags, solvents,
etc.) or conductive materials inside the unit.
2- Installing the changeover switch

There are two types of changeover switches in the GenPARTS range:
- Wall-mounted units equipped with fixing brackets (figure 1),
- Floor-mounted cabinets equipped with a 200 mm high base (figure 2).
The equipment must be fixed to a wall or to a clean floor. Select the location for the unit or
cabinet depending on the routing of existing cables or else check the possibility of the future
installation of a cable routing system before the equipment is fixed.
4/24 33514044401_3_1
2.1. - Wall-mounted unit
Table 1 below gives the fixing distances (see figure 1 and 1a) for the “wall-mounted unit” version.
These distances relate to the position of the fixing plates (y) and the overall dimensions of the unit
(height x width x depth).
The fixing plates and their fixings are supplied, fitted to the inside of the unit to simplify the packaging.
To fix the unit to the wall, use a fixing system that is suitable for the type of wall and the weight of the
electrical unit (see table 1).

3 - Changeover switch electrical connections
3.1. - Introduction
Our source changeover switch units are manufactured as class I. Class I signifies that the outer casing
(unit or cabinet) is not isolated from the interior equipment and, in particular, from the protective cable
(earth or PEN) which passes into the equipment.
It is, therefore, essential that the outer casing is earthed.
The cables used (power supply and remote control unit) are industrial type cables; H07RNF (flexible
core) or U1000R2V (solid core).
The cable glands for all electrical connections (power supply and remote control unit) are either made
of plastic or steel.
Other equipment features:

- The continuity of the earth connection inside the equipment is ensured,
- All earth connection studs are connected to the equipment chassis.
Electrical cables must only be connected by a qualified electrician.
Table 3 below gives the maximum connection cross sections that it is possible to use
depending on the equipment rating. The changeover switch unit rating (thermal rating in amps) is
marked on the inside of the equipment on:
- the bottom right backplate for the 25A to 200A control unit version,
- the bottom right base plate for the 250A to 1600A control unit version,
- the door, for the cabinet version.

3.2. - Isolation of voltage sources
Before making the electrical connection to the normal source (network), it is necessary to
isolate the input protection circuit breaker (usually located in the general low voltage panel or
TGBT). This operation must be carried out by a person qualified to secure electrical
equipment ( ).
Before making the electrical connection for the emergency source (generating set), it is
necessary to ensure that the generating set cannot be started by an unauthorised person. It is
therefore important to secure the generating set. This operation must be carried out by a person
qualified to secure electrical equipment ( ).
( ) This equipment safety operation prevents any accidental electrical contact downstream of the
equipment. This operation prohibits any closure of a power component, by fitting padlocks and
visual markings.
3.3. - Power connections

The electrical cables enter through the lower section of the units and cabinets. Take off the
cable passage plate and drill as necessary to fit the cable glands.
Use the connection accessories (end pieces, terminals, fixings, sleeves) as suited to the
section of the electrical cable. The cables must be held in place using clips, secured to the support rail
located as close as possible to the cable glands.
3.3.1. - Equipment input connections (network and generating set)

Our changeover switch units are equipped with one or two electrical power components, which
are used to switch between sources. Depending on the rating, you will find:
- two changeover switches, for equipment rated 25A to 200A,
- a 3-position motorised changeover switch for equipment rated 250A to 3150A.
For equipment rated 25A to 200A (contractor version)
Make the electrical connections straight into the contractor terminals (from 25A to 140A) or to
the contractor terminal plates (200A-rated equipment), while observing the correct order of the phases
and the tightening torque (see table 4) and taking care not to disconnect the wires for the remote
control unit which are already fitted in place.
For equipment rated 250A to 3150A (switch version)
Make the electrical connections straight onto the switch terminal connections, observing the
correct order of the phases and the tightening torque (see table 4) and taking care not to disconnect
the wires for the remote control unit which are already fitted in place.
3.3.2. - Equipment output connections (protected section)

The emergency section (changeover switch unit output) is connected:
- to the terminals for equipment rated 25A to 200A,
- to the end of the bars for equipment rated 250A to 3150A.
Observe the correct order of the phases and the tightening torque (see table 4).

3.3.3. - Auxiliary connections
The generating set auxiliaries supply cable (water preheating and battery charger) must be
connected directly to the circuit breaker marked 5F12 (refer to the wiring diagram).
3.4. - Remote control connections

3.4.1. - Remote start order
Connect a two conductor cable between the generating set and the changeover switch unit
(consult the wiring diagram).
Never connect an alternating voltage to the remote order terminals. The seller accepts
no responsibility in the event that this instruction is not observed.
3.4.2. - Options
Connect the options as per the wiring diagram supplied with the changeover switch unit. Refer
to section 12 for the list and description of available options.
3.5. - Final check

Before switching on the changeover switch unit:
1 - Check to make sure that no tool or connection accessory has been left inside the equipment.
2 - Carefully read sections 4.1 and 4.2 below.
3 - Refit the wall unit removable panels or reclose the cabinet door.
4- Commissioning the changeover switch

4.1. - Introduction
Before returning the network protection circuit breaker to service, carefully read the
instructions below.
The changeover switch unit has a TSI module on

the front panel (figure 3). This module is used to
command and control the changeover switch unit.
figure 3
4.1.1. - Changeover switch unit with switches

As soon as the network voltage is supplied to the changeover switch and controlled by the TSI
module, the network side switch closes, irrespective of the phase order, when the network side power
is switched on. Once the phase order check is completed (between 500 milliseconds and 1 second):
- the “network” switch opens if the phase order is not correct,
- the “network” switch remains closed if the phase order is correct.
If the phase order is incorrect, the presence of the voltage at the output from the changeover
switch unit may cause incorrect operation of the installation.
It is therefore strongly recommended to first open the downstream protection device(s)
for any equipment that may be damaged by an incorrect phase order.

4.1.2. - Changeover switch unit with motorised changeover switch
Before switching on the power to the changeover

switch unit, turn the yellow handle (originally in the
“AUT” position), 90 degrees to the left (see figure 4).
The switch is then in the MAN position ( ) and
automatic closure is not possible.

5- Using the TSI module

The TSI module can be used to display the main electrical values in real time (see § 5.1) as
well as warnings and faults (see § 6). It is also used to change the operating mode (see § 5.2). These
instructions are supplied with an additional document entitled: “TSI MODULE”, Settings and
consultation, list of parameters”, which explains how to access, consult and modify the TSI module's
parameters. The parameters are explained in detail in section 10.
5.1. - Reading electrical values

Display of the electrical values is automatic and cyclical, ie, all the available screens scroll
through every 5 seconds. It is possible to speed up the screen scrolling (bypassing the 5 seconds), by
a one-touch press of the d key or the c key.
The number of available screens depends on the application configuration and whether or not
the voltage sources S1 (network) and S2 (generating set) are present.
5.1.1. - Screens for source S1 (network)

5.1.3. - Screens for sources S1 and S2 present simultaneously

Scroll through screens 1, 2, 3, then screens 4, 5, 6.
Then return to the 1 screen.
5.2. - Operating modes

5.2.1. - “AUTO” mode
This is the normal operating mode for the changeover switch unit. The AUTO key lights up
green to signal that AUTO mode is selected. When switching on the network voltage, the changeover
switch unit automatically sets itself to AUTO mode.
This key is also used to perform automatic configuration if, when the unit is switched on, the
voltage or frequency level is such that the module is configured with a voltage or frequency which
differs from the nominal value (see paragraph 7).
For example: when the changeover switch unit is switched on, the network voltage level is 387 volts.
The TSI module will therefore configure itself to a nominal 380 volts. If the user is certain
that the nominal voltage is greater than the measured value (eg.: 400 volts), the AUTO
key can be pressed when the voltage becomes normal, or the value in the settings
screens modified (see additional instructions SDM33502018901).
When the AUTO key is pressed and held for 3 seconds (delay T27), all the LEDs come on
(test lights) and the auto-configuration screen appears:

This screen indicates that the TSI module has detected a voltage which is close or equal to
400 Vac on the network (S1) side, a frequency which is close or equal to 50 Hz and a three-phase
system with distributed neutral.
Note: there is no automatic configuration on the generating set side.

5.2.2. - “TEST” mode
The TEST key is used to check, via the changeover switch unit, the off-load operation of the
generating set. This test is performed with the network present. In this mode, it is not possible to
switch the changeover switch unit. Pressing the TEST key starts the generating set.
When TEST mode is selected, the screen opposite displays the T 1 9 : 6 0 0 S EC

remaining generating set operating time in this mode. (the screen
has been modified)
Pressing the TEST key a second time during operation in TEST mode stops the generating
set after cooling.
At the end of delay T19, the generating set enters the cooling phase and stops automatically
after T18.
In TEST mode, there is no change over to the emergency source (S2). However, in the event
of a fault on source S1 (network), the changeover switch will automatically change over.
5.2.3. - Mode “1”

In AUTO mode, key 1 is used to force the closure of the changeover switch unit to the normal
source (S1), ie, to the network. Pressing key 1 leads to the following actions:
- the AUTO mode lit green LED goes out and starts flashing red,
- the LED for key 1 lights up,
- the power supply component for the generating set (S2) opens, if this was already closed,
- the power supply component for the network (S1) closes, if this was open.
- network LED (7) lights up.
5.2.4. - Mode “2”

Key 2 is used to force the closure of the emergency changeover switch unit (S2), ie, for the
generating set. Pressing key 2 leads to the following actions:
- the AUTO mode LED goes out,
- the LED for key 2 lights up,
- the power supply component for the network (S1) opens, if this was already closed,
- the generating set starts, stabilising at a speed/voltage,
- emergency LED (6) lights up.
- the power supply component for the generating set (S2) closes,
- emergency LED (7) lights up.
6- Display of warnings and faults

6.1. - Source 1 (network) voltage fault and warning
6.1.1. - Appearance of a voltage warning
If the voltage reaches or exceeds the factory set threshold:
- 15% of the nominal voltage, for the minimum threshold (parameter P08),
- 10% of the nominal voltage, for the maximum threshold (parameter P10).
The network LED (6) lights up amber to indicate a warning.
6.1.2. - Appearance of a voltage fault

If the voltage level remains or continues to develop beyond the previous threshold (while
remaining below the critical threshold), for 10 seconds (factory setting):
- parameter T02, for the minimum threshold delay,
- parameter T03, for the maximum threshold delay.
16/24 33514044401_3_1
The network LED (6) lights up red to indicate a fault. Depending on the voltage level, one of the
two following screens will appear:
Screen 1: the voltage is less than or equal to the threshold, this is a ! ( < U ) S 1
"minimum voltage" fault.
Screen 2: the voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold, this ! ( > U ) S 1
is a "maximum voltage" fault.
The network power supply component (S1) opens and the generating set starts. As a result,
the fault screen is included in the set of screens displayed automatically as described in section 5.1.
6.1.3. - Voltage fault critical threshold

The cut-off devices operate within a clearly defined voltage range. If the voltage reaches or
exceeds one of the voltage range limits (factory settings) for 5 seconds, the network LED (6) lights up
red to signal a voltage critical fault. Depending on the voltage level, one of the two screens described
previously in section 6.1.2. will be seen. The network power supply component (S1) opens and the
generating set starts. As a result, the fault screen is included in the set of screens displayed
automatically as described in section 5.1.
6.1.4. - Voltage fault final threshold

In order to protect the equipment, the TSI module controls the voltage level that can be
reached beyond the critical threshold. This is known as the voltage fault final threshold, beyond which
the 5 second delay is ignored. Depending on the voltage level, one of the two screens described
previously in section 6.1.2. will be seen.
The network power supply component opens and the generating set starts. As a result, the
fault screen is included in the set of screens displayed automatically as described in section 5.1.
6.1.5. - Resetting a voltage fault

Eliminate the cause of the voltage fault. Press the RESET key (modified character font) to
make the voltage fault screen disappear.
6.2. - Source 1 (network) frequency fault and warning

6.2.1. - Appearance of a frequency warning
If the frequency reaches or exceeds the factory set threshold:
- 10% of the nominal frequency for the minimum threshold (parameter P12),
- 10% of the nominal frequency for the maximum threshold (parameter P14).
The network LED (6) lights up amber to indicate a warning.
6.2.2. - Appearance of a frequency fault

If the frequency level remains or continues to develop beyond the previous threshold for 10
seconds (factory setting):
- parameter T06, for the minimum threshold delay,
- parameter T07, for the maximum threshold delay.
17/24 33514044401_3_1
The network LED (6) lights up red to indicate a fault. Depending on the frequency level, one of
the two following screens will appear:
Screen 1: the frequency is less than or equal to the threshold, this ! ( <F ) S 1
is a "minimum frequency" fault.
Screen 2: the frequency is greater than or equal to the threshold; ! ( > F ) S 1

this is a "maximum frequency" fault.
The network power supply component (S1) opens and the generating set starts. As a result,
the fault screen is included in the set of screens displayed automatically as described in section 5.1.
6.2.3. - Resetting a frequency fault

Eliminate the cause of the frequency fault. To clear the frequency fault screen, press the
RESET key.
6.3. - Source 2 (generating set) voltage fault and warning

Setting and management procedures for voltage faults and warnings on the source 2 side are
similar to those described in paragraphs 6.1.1 to 6.1.5. The setting parameters are:
- P09, for the minimum voltage threshold,
- P11, for the maximum voltage threshold.
- T04, for the minimum threshold delay,
- T05, for the maximum threshold delay.
The screens are as follows:
Screen 1: the voltage is less than or equal to the threshold, this is a

"minimum voltage" fault. ! ( < U ) S 2
Screen 2: the voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold, this

is a "maximum voltage" fault. ! ( > U ) S 2
6.4. - Source 2 (generating set) frequency fault and warning

Setting and management procedures for frequency faults and warnings on the source 2 side
are similar to those described in paragraphs 6.2.1 to 6.2.3. The setting parameters are:
- P13, for the minimum frequency threshold,
- P15, for the maximum frequency threshold.
- T08, for the minimum threshold delay,
- T09, for the maximum threshold delay.
The screens are as follows:
Screen 1: the frequency is less than or equal to the threshold, this

is a “minimum frequency” fault. ! ( < F ) S 2
Screen 2: the voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold; this

is a “maximum frequency” fault. ! ( > F ) S 2
18/24 33514044401_3_1
6.5 - Phase rotation
The TSI module is equipped with a system for detecting phase rotation.
- If the phase order is incorrect on the network side (S1) (see paragraph 4.3), the network LED
(5) flashes and the following screen is displayed:
Phase rotation fault screen, network side.
- If the phase order is incorrect on the generating set side (S2) (see paragraph 4.4), the
network LED (5) flashes and the following screen is displayed:
Phase rotation fault screen, generating set side.
If a phase is missing when wiring or during use, then the electronic system is unable to
correctly detect the phase order:
- network side, the network LED (5) lights up continuous red,
- generating set side, the emergency LED (5) lights up continuous red.
In both cases, check the wiring or identify the cause of the missing phase.
7 - Voltage and frequency thresholds

When the changeover switch unit is switched on at the network side, the TSI module analyses
the frequency and voltage at its terminals. The table below indicates the thresholds for which the
module is configured with a clearly defined voltage.
Network side (S1 normal source), if the voltage The TSI module is configured
measured between phases… automatically at:
is not more than 214 volts 208 volts

is between 215 volts and 225 volts 220 volts
is between 391 volts and 407 volts 400 volts (*)
is between 408 volts and 427 volts 415 volts (*)
is more than 428 volts 440 volts
(*) The French network is 400 volts. However, the incoming voltage level (downstream of the
distribution transformer) is often nearer 410 volts (even 415 volts), than 400 volts. In this case
the TSI module is configured at 415 volts.
Network side (S1 normal source), if the frequency The TSI module is configured
measured between phases… automatically at:
is less than or equal to 55Hz 50Hz

is greater than 55Hz 60Hz

8 - Voltage thresholds for the breaking components
The tables below indicate the voltage values accepted by the breaking components (switches
and motorised changeover switch), according to the nominal voltage supplied to the changeover
switch unit. For two nominal voltages, (eg. 380 volts and 400 volts), the possible setting ranges are
calculated automatically.
8.1. - Maximum and minimum thresholds for voltage supplied to the switch coils
Coil specifications:
Nominal U = 230 volts Minimum U = 184 volts Maximum U = 264 volts
(or -20%) (or +15%)
U (S1) or U (S2) 208V 220V/380V 230V/400V 240V/415V 254V/440V

3 phases 3 phases 3 phases 3 phases 3 phases
minimum threshold from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to
setting on TSI ( ) 12% 16% 20% 23% 28%
maximum threshold from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to 4%
setting on TSI ( ) 27% 20% 15% 10%
( ) provided parameter P05 is set at 1. Parameter P05 protects the switches (within
reasonable limits) from any voltage supplied to their terminals that is too high or too low.
8.2. - Maximum and minimum thresholds for voltage supplied to the changeover switch motor
Motor specifications:
Nominal U = 230 volts Minimum U = 184 volts Maximum U = 276 volts
(or -20%) (or +20%)
U (S1) or U (S2) 208V 220V/380V 230V/400V 240V/415V 254V/440V

3 phases 3 phases 3 phases 3 phases 3 phases
minimum threshold from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to
setting on TSI ( ) 12% 16% 20% 23% 28%
maximum threshold from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to from 1 to 9%
setting on TSI ( ) 33% 25% 20% 15%
( ) provided parameter P05 is set at 1. Parameter P05 protects the changeover switch (within
reasonable limits) from any voltage supplied to its terminals that is too high or too low.
8.3. - Deactivating threshold limits (parameter P05)

- When parameter P05 is set to 1 (default), the functional threshold limits (P08 to P11) are
determined automatically, in order to protect the equipment.
- When parameter P05 is set to 0, the functional threshold limits (P08 to P11) may be above
the acceptable limits for the switches and the motorised changeover switch. The equipment is no
longer protected, but this does not affect the operation of the changeover switch unit.
No warranty shall be accepted by the seller if parameter P05 is set to 0. If the changeover
switch unit must operate with settings ranges above the limits defined by parameter P05.

11 - Warning concerning repairs and modifications

Modifications: the changeover must not be modified (modification of content, cover, etc.) The seller
accepts no responsibility for damage resulting form modifications.
Repairs: the repair and replacement of components must be carried out by trained, qualified
electricians. The replacement components must have an identical specification to those
originally fitted, and comply with the standards in force at the time. The seller accepts no
responsibility for loss or damage resulting from poor repairs or the use of incorrect
components.
12 - Options available
An “options” package is available for the full range of changeover switch units. This “options”
package comprises:
- For France only,
- wiring for the three inputs and two outputs on the TSI module, on a customer terminal block
for use with EJP (for France only) or for any other use (see § 13),
- a “degraded operation” two position switch on the front of the panel (see § 14).
13 - List of functions available for inputs and outputs

The TSI module has three all or nothing inputs and two all or nothing outputs. The two tables
below show the functions available fro programming the TSI module's inputs and outputs.
D Functions available for inputs
