SICES Srl provides a wide range of standard and customized electric control

panels for several applications:

SINGLE GENSETS

MULTIPLE GENSETS

CHP STATIONS

Since 1977, SICES Srl designs and manufactures Electronic Devices and Electric Control Panels for the management

of Gensets by any producer and brand.

Starting from the project up to the production and to the start-up of the plants, every process is performed by a

qualified and skilled staff thanks to the high technical experience.

With technologic pioneering, SICES started developing the first micro-processed Control Devices in the early ‘80s,

becoming one of the first players for the high standard in quality, reliability and innovation, both in the control and

management of gensets.

SICES is a partner of several high-level companies, supporting the customer from the project to the star-up of the

plant.

Since 2013, SICES Brasil is structured with

warehouses and offices, in order to offer

ready-for-delivery materials, with all the technical and

commercial support.

The main objective is serving all the South-American

market with a constant presence in the area.

Sices ATS panel is studied for mains/generator transfer switch applications which involves a genset usually equipped with an automatic control panel. The ATS panel comprises all the circuits, devices and controls enabling the switch between the mains and the genset, in order to supply the load in case of mains failure. The ATS panel is made with a steel sheet subjected to a painting treatment using high resistance epoxy powder and the power circuit is safety separated from the control area in accordance to the main operation rules. The protection degree with opened door is IP20. With closed door is IP55 or IP40 based on the type of carpentry used. CURRENT RANGE: FROM 45A UP TO 4000A 45A ÷ 125A Power circuit equipped with interlocked contactors - 4 poles 160A ÷ 4000A Power circuit equipped with motorized changeover switch - 4 poles AVAILABLE for MULTIPLE VOLTAGE (440/400/380/220 V) and MULTPLE FREQUENCY (50/60 Hz)

LOGICA ATS PANEL

It’s an automatic and “smart” ATS panel equipped with microprocessor based controller having a graphical display which allows to show voltages, frequency, working hours and the battery voltage of the genset. This type of ATS panel is able to automatically control the switch Mains/Genset (it’s particularly used if combined with Caterpillar, FG Wilson gensets), sending a signal to start/stop to the stand-by genset.

BASIC ATS PANEL

It’s an ATS panel (without any microprocessor controller) equipped with a selector switch with 4 positions AUTOMATIC – 0 – MAINS – GENSET and 2 (two) lamps for optical signalling “Load supplied by the Mains” and “Load supplied by the Genset”. Fuses protections and terminal boards are available as well. This type of ATS panel is usually combined to a local genset control panel able to detect the Mains failure and to send a closure/opening signal to the BASIC ATS panel.

GENERAL INFO SICES automatic control panels are equipped with microprocessor genset controller which allows an automatic management of a single stand-by or prime mover genset. All the circuits for the control and signalisation of the various status and alarms are built in a microprocessor based controller mounted on the front of the panel which easily allows to check the mains and gensets parameters and measures. In case of mains failure, SICES AMF Control panel detects the voltage failure and it starts the stand-by genset. The control panel controls the switch Mains/Genset connecting the load to the genset. During the genset operation, the engine either the alternator are monitored by the microprocessor controller, displaying any alarms with text message and stopping the genset, if needed.

Models and Features Based on the type of the requirements, N.3 (three) types of AMF control panels are available:

SI.MO.NE (Sices Monitor Network) Web based software for remote control of gensets using GPRS/GPS technology. It’s particularly useful for rental gensets due to it’s possible to know and to be advised in case of events (alarm, shut-down, change of status) or in case of the genset is moved from the set position. That software allows to contemporary control several gensets displayed in one screen shot. SI.MO.NE. is a smart and flexible centralized software for monitoring NOT SICES controllers only, but several gensets controllers can be monitored using just SI.MO.NE software: SICES GCXXX – DST4400 – DST4602 – DST4601PX, DST2600, ATS115 COMAP InteliLite AMF25 - COMAP InteliGen BaseBox DSE 5210 - DSE 5510 - DSE 7320 - DSE 7510 ELCOS CAM-120 CUMMINS PC 2.XX, 3.XX DEIF AGC-3 WOODWARD EASYGEN3200 CATERPILLAR EMCP3, EMCP4 SI.MO.NE has to be supported by two hardware: REWIND – Modem GSM/GPRS and GPS (if a special antenna is connected) DANCE – Device for an Ethernet connection
