KofKaN ATS Monitor
Automatic transfer switch monitoring & telemetry
Overview
Standby power fails quietly: a generator that will not start is usually discovered during the outage it was meant to cover. ATS Monitor watches the transfer switch itself — which source is live, what the switch is doing, how long the generator has run and whether any fault contacts have closed — and keeps a record of every transfer. It is intended for facilities managers responsible for sites they do not physically visit each day.
System capabilities
Source status
Utility and generator presence detected per phase so the live source is never in question.
Transfer logging
Every changeover recorded with timestamp and direction to build an outage history.
Generator runtime
Accumulated running hours to drive service intervals and fuel planning.
Fault contacts
Dry-contact inputs pick up common generator fault and lockout signals.
Load measurement
Current on the outgoing feeder to confirm the site is actually being supplied after transfer.
Remote notification
Alerts on failure to transfer, extended generator running or repeated outages.
How it works
- 01Voltage and current sensing on utility, generator and load sides
