Construction and FunctionMANUAL CEAG AUtoMAtiC tEst systEM At-s+ 40071860177 (C) December 2016 www.ceag.de4.2 Product DescriptionThe AT-S+ automatic test system is a symbiosis of STARand CEWA GUARD technology, and now also enablesthe monitoring and specification of switching mode ofthe connected emergency lighting in networks using anaggregate, dual network or central converter with 50 or60 Hz AC voltage as supply voltage as power sources forsafety services.The main benefits of this technology include the fact that• within a final circuit, the switching modes– Non-maintained light (Emergency lighting is switchedon when the main lighting fails or when a function testis initiated manually or automatically)– Maintained light and (Emergency lighting is always on)– Switched maintained light (as non-maintained lightwith emergency lighting controlled by switch queries,e. g. from external DLS-modules)can be implemented in hybrid mode for each emer-gency luminaire.• each safety and EXIT luminaire can be programmedwithout an extra data cable,• the switching modes can be later modified without theneed to interfere in the existing luminaire installation.The functions of the emergency luminaires are definedwith a user-friendly parameter setup system.The use of V-CG-S type ballasts/modules is a require-ment.All settings are stored in a nonvolatile memory and so arenot lost even in a total shutdown situation (230V mainssupply).Parameter settings and the names of circuits, luminairesand DLS/TLS-modules as well as test log entries can alsobe stored on a memory card. As well as archiving, thisalso allows (optional) external parameter setting and trans-fer to control modules of the AT-S+ system.Aggregates, dual networks and central converters supplythe energy for operation of the emergency lighting uponfailing of the power supply via the general 230V mainsgrid. During normal operation, the AT-S+ system monitorsthe functionality of the connected emergency lighting.The system AT-S+ is designed and manufactured incompliance with the following EC directives:• Low-voltage Directive 2006/95/EG• Directive 2004/108/EG on electromagnetic compatibility• National (DIN-), European (EN-) and international (IEC-)standards which the system complies will be found inthe system´s CE Certificate of Conformity.4.3 Operation ModesDifferent system configurations are used depending onthe requirements of the site. These standardised configu-rations have names likeAT-S+ C30 or AT-S+ C16for operation of max. 30 or 16 SU-S+ 2x6A circuitmodules with 60 or 32 optional circuit terminals. Up to 6AT-S+ substations can be supplied with mains current (upto six lines with 1-phase substations, up to two 3-phasesubstations).AT-S+ C4for operation of max. 4 SU-S+ 2x6A circuit modules withcircuit terminals. Up to 4 lines with AT-S+ substations canbe supplied with 1-phase mains current.AT-S+ C0for operation of max. 2 CU-S+ control units. For monitoringof up to 40 SU-S+ / SOU-S+ circuit modules per controlunit via the RS 485 bus.AT-S+ SU4, AT-S+ SU2, AT-S+ SU1for operation of 4, 2 or 1 SU-S+ 2 x 6A circuit moduleswith 8, 4 or 2 circuit terminals.AT-S+ SOU2, AT-S+ SOU1for operation of 2 or 1 SOU-S+ 2 x 4A circuit modules,with 4 or 2 circuit terminals and supplementary mainsfeed for rental current counting.All devices and substations are constructed modularly. Thetechnologies of changing-over and of monitoring form aunit working undependent from each other, so that interac-tions can be excluded. Due to the modular constructionand the pre-configured modules a flexible and high qualityhandling is ensured. The objective of the automatic testsystem is to secure the function standby of all connectedemergency and exit luminaires by an automatic monitoring.
