2.1 Intended use
Changeover devices are used everywhere there is dependence on high availability from the power
supply.
The ATICS® transfer switching device is intended for the application described in the chapter "Sys-
tem description". When the preferred supply fails, the ATICS® automatically switches to the second
supply.
Areas of application:
Group 1 and 2 medical locations according to DIN VDE 0100-710 and IEC 60364-7-710
Hospital main distribution boards (DIN VDE 0100-710)
Locations open to the public (DIN VDE 0100-718)
Emergency power supplies
Heating, air conditioning, ventilation, cooling
EDP, computer centres
Fire extinguisher and sprinkler systems
Several versions of the ATICS® are available. They differ for example by changing over from the two-
or four-pole systems or by the load current (see chapter "ATICS® tasks" on page 14). Please heed the
limits of the area of application indicated in the technical specifications. Use which deviates from or
is beyond the scope of these technical specifications is considered non-compliant.
In order to meet the requirements of applicable standards, customised parameter settings must be
made on the equipment in order to adapt it to local equipment and operating conditions.
Intended use includes following all the instructions in the operating manual and complying with the
test intervals.
2.2 Skilled persons

3.1 Properties
3.1.1 Product description
The ATICS® transfer switching devices provide all functions for changeover between two independ-
ent power supplies and for monitoring unearthed power supplies. The integration of both the elec-
tronic system and the switching elements in one flat, compact device reduces space requirements
in the switchgear cabinet, minimises the amount of wiring, and reduces the fault probability. To
achieve the highest reliability, ATICS® has been developed closely in compliance with functional
safety guidelines.
Connectors at all connecting wires in combination with by-pass switches enables the ATICS® to be
tested or replaced during service works without interruption of the power supply. ATICS® consider-
ably enhances the safety level in industry and in other sensitive environments like hospitals.
3.1.2 Changeover
Automatic changeover to the second (redundant) line on loss of the preferred supply or when
the values are outside the permissible voltage range
Voltage monitoring Line 1/2 (input) and Line 3 (output)
Automatic return to the preferred line on voltage recovery
Monitoring for short-circuits at the output resp. at the distribution board downstream of the
transfer switching device avoids damaging switching operations
Manual operation, optionally locked by a padlock
3.1.3 Messages
Status indication of operating, warning and alarm messages via integrated graphic display
and external indication at MK2430/MK800/TM800 alarm indicator and operator panels
Automatic reminder for prescribed tests and service intervals
History memory for events, messages, tests and parameter changes
Exchange of information with alarm indicator and operator panels via BMS bus

Option for adjusting the time delay for the changeover process according to DIN VDE 0100-710
(VDE 0100 Part 710)
Possible field of application on systems according to DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100 Part 710)
with a changeover period ≤ 15 s or even ≤ 0.5 s
3.5 The ATICS® functions
3.5.1 The transfer switching device
If the preferred supply fails, the ATICS® ensures the power supply is changed over safely.
The switch contacts are offset on a rotating shaft. This design prevents simultaneous switching of
Line 1 and Line 2. The switch has three positions:
1 Line 1 switched on
0 Both lines switched off
2 Line 2 switched on
Either Line 1 or Line 2 can be set as the preferred line (setting described in "Settings menu 1: Change-
over" on page 67 or "Settings menu 5: Digital Input" on page 73).
1. In the normal condition (fault-free condition) the preferred supply is connected. The ATICS®
will switch to the redundant line if:
– the preferred line fails
– the "TEST" button is pressed
– a digital input is configured to "TEST" and this input is enabled
– the setting "Preferred Line" is reconfigured to the other line
2. The ATICS® switches from the redundant line back to the preferred line if
– the voltage on the preferred line is restored and
- the return transfer delay time t(2->1) has expired and no switching back interlocking
function is enabled
- or immediately after pressing the "RESET" button or when the redundant line fails
(even when the switching-back interlocking function is enabled)
– the setting "Preferred Line" is reconfigured to the other line
– the digital input is configured to "TEST" and this input is reset
– a transfer switching device test is enabled and the test time has expired

System description
15
ATICS-DIO_D00080_01_M_XXEN/04.2015
The factory settings guarantee a changeover period of t = 0.5 seconds and switching back within 10
seconds when voltage is restored on the preferred supply. Therefore, the ATICS® can be used in IT
systems with a requirement for a changeover period t ≤0.5 s (IT systems with operating theatre
lights, endoscopic field illumination in operating theatres or other essential sources of light, etc.).
When there is a short-circuit downstream of the transfer switching device, the transfer switching de-
vice must not continually change back and forth between the two lines. This can occur when the
short-circuit current is small and the transfer switching device switches faster than the short-circuit
breaker trips. The ATICS® monitors the load current downstream of the transfer switching device in
order to detect a possible short-circuit. If the preferred line fails and a short-circuit current is detected
at the same time, the ATICS® does not change over immediately but only once the circuit breaker has
tripped.
If the ATICS® detects a supply failure or a fault, an alarm appears on the LCD, the "ALARM" LED lights
up, the alarm relay trips (if set) and this alarm is forwarded to other Bender devices (such as an alarm
indicator and test combination) via the BMS bus.
Phase sequence directionerrors are recognised and indicated on the LC display. Even though ATICS®
switches over to the redundant line.
May malfunction if delay times are not adjusted
The response delay t(on), the return transfer delay time t(2->1), the delay on
release t(off) and the dead time t(0) of the ATICS® are adjustable and must be
adjusted to the requirements of the specific case, the short-circuit-calcula-
tion and the requirements of DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100 Part 710) for au-
tomatic changeover devices (see chapter "Commissioning, settings and
testing").

3.5.1.2 Time diagram: Staggered switching after total power failure
After a complete power failure (i.e. no voltage on either of the power supplies) it is often necessary
to switch to the supply at staggered intervals. This prevents all loads being switched on simultane-
ously. Switch the ATICS® to position "0" using an Allen key. When power is restored, the ATICS®
switches on the supply again with the set delay time t(start).

3.5.2 Monitoring the device functions
The control circuits are designed in such a way that, even though it is almost certain that a particular
fault will occur, it cannot cause the power supply at the output of the automatic transfer switching
device to fail.
The ATICS® also continuously monitors:
The switch position of the switch and coils 1 and 2 of the switch
Power supplies 1 and 2, which supply the electronics from the systems concerned
Internal microcontrollers and memory modules
Important connecting wires, like the measuring current transformer connection, for example
For alarm and test combinations and alarm indicator and operator panels, device failure moni-
toring can also be programmed via the BMS bus (necessary for functional safety).
3.5.3 Power supply
The coils of the switching device are each supplied from the line which is not currently switched on.
This ensures that it is possible to switch to the redundant line if the preferred line fails, for example.
The power supply of the electronic system is of redundant supply from the Lines 1 and 2. This en-
sures constant supply to the electronic system even when one line fails.
If both lines fail, the changeover switch remains in the last switch position. Switch the ATICS® to po-
sition "0" using an Allen key. When power is restored, the ATICS® switches on the supply again with
the set delay time t(start). If several ATICS® are installed in one system they can be switched to the
preferred line one-by-one on voltage recovery. This prevents the peak loads that would occur if the
lines of several transfer switching devices were switched on simultaneously.
3.5.4 Manual mode
In manual mode, changeover can be achieved using an Allen key. The changing over to switch posi-
tion "0" can be locked with a padlock.
On systems with generator: total power failure possible
If the preferred line fails, the ATICS® starts the generator which is connected to
the redundant line. If the generator does not start, the line downstream of the
transfer switching device will be dead.
When the generator is switched off, the ATICS® cannot check the redundant line.
Therefore, regularly test the generator and the changeover function to make
sure they are working properly (see checklist in the Appendix to this manual).
