ATICS^® switching devices provide all functions for changeover between two independent power supplies and for monitoring unearthed power supplies. The integration of both the electronic 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 ATICS^® to be tested or replaced during service works without interruption of the power supply. ATICS^® considerably enhances the safety level particularly in intensive care units and operating theatres.

• Compact device for convenient setup of safety power supplies with functional safety according to IEC 61508 (SIL 2) e.g. for Group 2 medical locations in compliance with IEC 60364-7-710:2002 / DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100-710): 2002-11
• The integration of the changeover function and IT system monitoring in one device provide increased safety and availability

• Power supplies for sensitive equipment used in Group 2 medical locations, for example, must function safely and reliably even under fault conditions. A major contribution to achieve this are two redundant supplies and the design of an unearthed power supply system (IT system).
