Ask a qualified person to replace it.

    How to Use Automatic Transfer Switch?

    An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is a device that automatically transfers a power supply from its primary source to a backup source when it senses a failure or outage in the primary source. When a failure occurs in a primary power system, the ATS invokes a standby power source, such as an uninterruptable power supply. An ATS can also start up more long-term backup power systems, such as local diesel generators, to run electric equipment until utility power is restored.

    How to Assemble a CNC Router Machine?

    CNC router machine is an automatic processing equipment developed on the basis of general milling machines. The processing technology of the two is basically the same, and the structure is also somewhat similar. CNC milling machines are divided into two categories: without tool magazine and with tool magazine. Among them, the CNC milling machine with a tool magazine is also called a machining center.

    What is a Transmitter?

    The transmitter is a device that converts physical measurement signals or ordinary electrical signals into standard electrical signals (4~20mA, 0~20mA, 1~5V, 0~ 10V, etc.) output or can be output by communication protocol (CANBUS, MODBUS, PROFIBUS, etc.) ATO offers high-performance current transmitters, level transmitters, voltage transmitters, temperature transmitters, load cell transmitters, pressure transmitters, temperature and humidity transmitters, and PH transmitters.

    How Does Automatic Transfer Switch Work?

    The ATS, or automatic transfer switches, are basically the go-between utility power and generator power. There is a common load fed from the transfer switch usually to all your emergency panels. During a test or an actual power failure, there is a time delay before the ATS sends a signal to your generator, starting it. When the voltage and frequency of your generator is acceptable by the voltage sensing network, it sends a signal over to the mechanism. It will open up normal power and then close the generator. Now you're online and everything is stable at this point. When normal power, or utility comes back online there is a time delay preventing the generator from switching back- just in case normal power is unstable for a while.

    How to Use a Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor?

    Photoelectric sensor is controlled by converting changes in light intensity into changes in electrical signals. It is generally composed of three parts, which is divided into transmitter, receiver and detection circuit. The transmitter is aimed at the target and emits a light beam, which generally originates from semiconductor light sources, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes. The beam is fired uninterrupted, or the pulse width is changed. The receiver consists of photodiodes or phototransistors. In front of the receiver, optical elements such as lenses and apertures are installed. Behind it is the detection circuit, which filters out the valid signal and applies it. The through beam type is that the transmitting end emits red light or infrared light, and the receiving end receives it.
