3.1Properties
3.1.1Product description
The ATICS® transfer switching devices provide all functions for changeover between two independent 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. For maximum reliability, ATICS® was designed in strict
accordance with the guidelines for functional safety.
Connectors at all connecting wires in combination with bypass switches enable ATICS® to be tested
during ongoing operation. In case of need for service, it is possible to repair or replace the device
without interrupting the power supply. ATICS® considerably enhances the safety level in industry
and other sensitive environments like hospitals.
3.1.2Changeover
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 or at the distribution board downstream of the trans-
fer switching device avoids damaging switching operations

Possible field of application in systems according to DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100 Part 710) with
a changeover period ≤ 15 s or even ≤ 0.5 s
3.5The ATICS® functions
3.5.1The automatic transfer switching device
If the preferred supply fails, ATICS® ensures that 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:
1Line 1 switched on
0Both lines switched off
2Line 2 switched on
Either line 1 or line 2 can be set as the preferred line (setting described in "Settings menu 1: Changeover" on page 69 or "Settings menu 5: Digital input" on page 75).
1. In normal operating condition (fault-free operation) the preferred supply is connected. 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
16
ATICS-DIO_D00080_02_M_XXEN/08.2017
Page 17
System description
WARNING
2. ATICS® will switch from the redundant line back to the preferred line if
– the voltage on the preferred line is restored
- the return transfer delay time t(2->1) has expired and no switching back interlocking
function is enabled
- 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 test of the transfer switching device is active and the test period has elapsed
Failure to adjust delay times may result in malfunctions
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 ATICS® are adjustable and must be adjusted
to the requirements of the specific case, the short-circuit calculation and the requirements of DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100 Part 710) for automatic changeover
devices (see chapter "Commissioning, settings and testing").
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, 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 device 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. 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, ATICS® does not switch over immediately but only once the circuit breaker has
tripped.
If 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 direction errors are recognised and indicated on the LC display. Even so ATICS®
switches over to the redundant line.

3.5.1.2Time diagram: Staggered switching after complete 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 simultaneously. Switch ATICS® to position "0" using an Allen key. When power is restored, ATICS® switches on
the supply again with the set delay time t(start).
Example: Line 1 is set as the preferred line.

System description
WARNING
3.5.2Monitoring 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.
ATICS® tests the switch position of the switch as well as coils 1 and 2 of the switch once a day at 12:00
p.m.
ATICS® also continuously monitors:
Power supplies 1 and 2, which supply the electronics from the systems concerned
Internal microcontrollers and memory modules
Important connecting wires, such as the measuring current transformer connection
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).
For systems with generator: total power failure possible
If the preferred line fails, ATICS® will start the generator 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, ATICS® cannot check the redundant line.
Therefore, regularly test the generator and the transfer switching device to make
sure they are working properly (see checklist in the appendix to this manual).
3.5.3Power 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 lines 1 and 2. This ensures
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 ATICS® to position
"0" using an Allen key. When power is restored, 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 starting from switch position "0" on voltage recovery. This prevents the peak loads
that would occur if the lines of several transfer switching devices were switched on simultaneously.
3.5.4Manual mode
In manual mode, changeover can be achieved using an Allen key. The switching device can be held
in switch position "0" and locked with a padlock.

4.2Connection
4.2.1Short-circuit protection
The choice of back-up fuses F should ensure both short-circuit protection for the transformer and selectivity for the overcurrent devices connected downstream in the IT systems.
The connecting wires between the automatic transfer switching devices and the overcurrent protective device downstream are to be laid so that they are short-circuit and earth-fault proof.
When choosing back-up fuses, keep to both the maximum permissible values laid down by the
guidelines which apply to the site of use and national and international standards to make sure that
the contacts do not weld.
For recommendations on the use of the appropriate fuse, refer to the nameplate of ATICS® and to
the ordering details in this manual.

Installation and connection
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
Connecting wires can come loose and fall out if the ferrules being used are too
short, the wire ends are tinned or the connection screws have not been tightened
enough.
Consider a stripping length of 20 mm and do not use ferrules when connecting
lines 1, 2 and 3.
Note the assignment of the terminals. Note especially that the two supplies are
always connected to the device from the top.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the terminal screws.
Check all the screws on a regular basis to make sure they are seated tightly.
Risk of destruction when insulation and voltage test are carried out
-> Disconnect the device from the mains for the duration of the test.
Risk of destruction in the event of phase failure in three-phase systems
If only one of the phases fails, it may result in overvoltages which can damage
the connected devices.
-> Install a device for all-pole disconnection in the event of phase failure.
Risk of destruction if connected incorrectly
-> The terminals labelled GND must not be connected to PE.

CAUTION
5.1Design and installation
Risk of missing or false messages on the display on MK..., TM... or FTC...
MK… alarm indicator and test combinations, TM... alarm indicator and operator panels or BMS Ethernet gateways COM465…, which, together with ATICS®,
are connected to a BMS bus must be loaded with the latest operating software
(e.g. MK800/TM800/MK2430 V 4.03 or higher).
Older MK…, TM… or FTC… cannot interpret the alarms of ATICS® because the
text modules required for ATICS® are not integrated yet. These devices must either be updated or replaced.
The TMK-SET configuration software must also be the latest version.
Risk that ATICS® does not switch
ATICS® requires enough current (2 pulses of 17 A for 30 ms) for a changeover. If
there are several ATICS® in one system it is possible that the current is insufficient,
especially when feeding from a battery-powered power supply.
Set the delay time t(start) on the devices in such a way that after voltage recovery
the devices switch to the preferred supply one by one.
Observe the relevant standards and regulations for installation and connection as well as the
operating manual of the respective device.
Provide at least two places for MK… alarm indicator and test combinations or TM… alarm indi-
cator and operator panels. These panels display messages from the ATICS® automatic transfer
switching device and monitor each other for failure. This is an essential part of the safety
concept (functional safety, SIL2).
Application examples of MK… or TM… in hospitals:
– Medical locations
– Continuously manned area (e.g. nurses' station)
– Technical area
Provide a fail-safe power supply for the MK… or the TM…
The TM... and MK... for the medical and technical area must be supplied with power from differ-
ent lines and sources.
Example:
The MK… or the TM… in medical locations is supplied from line 3 of the transfer switching
device. The MK… in technical areas is supplied from a fail-safe line backed up by battery.

If you notice changes on ATICS®, you must immediately start checking the transfer switching
device.
Heed the alarms on the transfer switching device. ATICS® reports in good time when testing or servicing is necessary or if safe operation of the device according to IEC 61508 is no longer guaranteed
(e.g. due to component failure) and action must be taken.

Commissioning, settings and testing
5.2Setting and testing according to the checklist
The settings made at the factory take into account a total changeover period t ≤ 0.5 s and switching
back to the preferred supply within 10 seconds on voltage recovery.
The response delay t(on), the dead time t(0), the delay on release t(off) and the return transfer delay
time t(2->1) of ATICS® are configurable and must be adjusted to the requirements of the specific application case and the requirements of DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100 Part 710) for automatic changeover devices. If the current monitoring (short-circuit detection) is deactivated in the menu "Settings"
> "Current", an additional short-circuit current calculation and configuration of the response time
t(on) is required.
The total turn-off time (from the point at which the fault occurs until the arc in the overcurrent
protective device is cleared) must be less than the minimum delay for the changeover of the
automatic transfer switching device.
Setting: Response delay t(on)
If several automatic transfer switching devices are connected in series in a power supply sys-
tem, it is recommended that they are time-graded.
Setting: Response delay t(on), return transfer delay time t(2->1) and delay on release t(off).
As part of the response delay (to be custom-set), you must, at the very least, take into account
the periods of time when the circuit experiences short interruptions, and the response times of
the short-circuit protection equipment upstream or downstream. Regardless of this, a switchover pause corresponding to the installation location should be taken into account, in order to
avoid switching overvoltages.
Setting: Response delay t(on), dead time t(0) and return transfer delay time t(2->1).
The factory settings and system-specific settings of the ATICS® DIO transfer switching device are
documented on the checklist. Please carry out all the work outlined in the list and log each test step.
Keep the checklist with this manual near to the device.

Test menus 2…4 are protected by a password (see Settings-> Password -> Test).
Password protection is only effective if the password has been enabled (switched
on). When an attempt is made to open one of these menus, the password entry
screen appears automatically:
During an "Autom. changeover" test or "Manual changeover" test, changeover
does not take place until a delay time has elapsed, which is indicated by the
progress bar.
For technical reasons the menu items "Control> Test > Manual changeover"
"Control > Test >Generator" and "Control > Test > Communication" cannot be
accessed via a gateway (COM465…, CP700, …).

Test communication via the BMS bus. In order to do this, a fault message is simulated. This alarm
message is sent to evaluator devices (e.g. alarm indicator and operator panels, MK800, SMO…).
Check that these devices are responding to the alarm message as requested. Select a channel:
1. Use the "" arrow button to go to the channel setting. Press the "↵" button.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select the channel for which the alarm message is to be simulated.
Press the "↵" button to confirm your selection.
The alarm status will change from

selected, the relay will switch when line 1 is in operation. The setting "on" can be selected for several
menus simultaneously. The relay switches when at least one of the conditions is met.
If "GenSt" is set for alarm relay 1, the operating mode will always be set to "N/C-T". The other settings
of the "Relay 1" menu are disabled. The alarm message "Failure line 2" is suppressed.
If the setting "Line G" is selected in the "Changeover -> System" settings menu,

In this menu, you can adjust settings for the mode of operation and function of the digital inputs.
The digital inputs are galvanically isolated. They are designed for an input of AC/DC 24 V.
For each input, selection is possible when the input is set to: "24V" (high) or "0V" (low). In the "24V"
setting, the selected function (e.g. alarm message) is carried out when there are 24 volts there. In the
"0V" setting, the selected function is carried out when there are 0 volts there. It is for this reason that
you should always set unused digital inputs to "off".
Select digital input:
1. Use the "" arrow button to go to the digital input setting. Press the "↵" button.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select one digital input (e.g. Digital input 3) or all four digital inputs
(Digital input 1…4). Press the "↵" button to confirm your selection.

The common alarm for the digital inputs 2…4 is signalled on channel 12 of the
BMS bus. If one of these digital inputs is set to "ALARM" and activated, an alarm
will be outputted on channel 12. It cannot be recognised which digital input has
tripped. Only one alarm will be outputted. Priority is given to the alarm of the
digital input with the lowest number.
Example:
Digital input 2 is set to "ALARM" and activated.
Digital input 3 is set to "R-OPL" and activated.
In this case, only the message of digital input 2 (ALARM) will be indicated on
channel 12 of the BMS bus. Only when digital input 2 is no longer activated, the
message of digital input 3 will be indicated (R-OPL).

Do not set inputs with contradictory functions simultaneously!
For each of the four digital inputs a function can be set. This function is only activated when the input is activated.
Example:
Digital input is set to "1"
Digital input 2 is set to "2"
Digital input 3 is set to "0"
Digital input 4 is set to "H/A"
When the digital inputs 1 and 4 are activated, ATICS® switches to switch position
"I". When the digital inputs 2 and 3 are also activated, it will have no effect. The
function of the input set first has priority.
If the digital input 1 is no longer activated, the function of the digital input with
the next number up will be activated.

Risk of premature wear of the memory chip
The service life of the 300 memory locations of the EEPROM memory is limited to
about 100 000 memory accesses. If one change to a measured value is saved
every second, the end of the service life of the EEPROM is reached after one year.
If one change to the measured value is saved every minute, then the service life is
increased to 57 years. Select the settings in the "Data logger -> "Modific." settings
menu in a way that frequent saving over longer periods of time can be avoided.
To protect the memory module, a minimum limit threshold of 10 A for the load
currents is incorporated in the data loggers for the TN system downstream of the
transfer switching device. Values below this limit threshold are only stored once.
A new measured value will be stored in the memory chip only when this limit
threshold is exceeded.

8.2Frequently asked questions
A series of clicks is always heard at around noon. What does that mean?
ATICS® carries out a coil trigger test once a day. The time is calculated as follows: 12:00:00 o'clock +
(own BMS bus address * 10 s).
If configured to "Generator" for the redundant line on settings menu 1 "Changeover", then the coil
test will only be run for line 2 when line 2 has a voltage.
When the "TEST -> Generator" is run, the coil test is carried out for line 2 directly after starting the
generator.
A thin vertical line runs across the display. Is the display defective?
No. The "Refresh function" of the display is being active refreshing the contents indicated.
Why doesn't ATICS® display the pre-set time?
The time of ATICS® is set by the BMS bus master.
The time for ATICS® only is required in that rare case when no BMS bus is used. In this case, ATICS®
shows the fault message "No Master".
How do I eliminate the message "No Master"?
ATICS® is designed for applications where functional safety is of top priority. Therefore, this message
is necessary.
For applications where functional safety only plays a subordinate role master monitoring can be deactivated in the menu "Settings > Interface > Failure monitoring" (see page 79).
ATICS® does not change over. In the last line on the display it indicates: "t(0): xx s".
ATICS® is waiting for the time delay t(0) to elapse and displays the remaining time in seconds. Only
then can ATICS® change over. The time delay can be due to the following reasons:
ATICS® is just switching. The adjusted time delay in switch position "0" (dead time) takes several
seconds (see "Settings menu 1: Changeover" on page 69)
ATICS® has just been supplied with voltage. After the expiry of the time delay, ATICS® will be
ready for operation.
Within a short period of time, ATICS® carried out more than 12 changeover operations. The time delay is required to cool the system.
ATICS-4-DIO shows the alarm message "Phase sequence". What should be done?
Already during the commissioning of ATICS-4-DIO, make sure that both the preferred line and the
redundant line have the same phase sequence direction (right).
This is particularly important when the performance of connected three-phase loads is dependent
on the phase sequence direction. Example: The three-phase motor runs in the wrong phase sequence direction (counter-clockwise).
Despite the alarm message "Phase sequence", the ATICS® changes over from the preferred line to the
redundant line in the event of failure of the preferred line. This ensures continued operation of loads
that are not affected by the phase sequence.

Troubleshooting
Why does writing back reports/backups lead to error messages?
ATICS® can – like many Bender devices – be monitored and configured by means of a Bender gateway CP700, COM46x… etc. The gateways are operated via a web user interface which is represented
by means of an Internet browser.
One of the functions of these gateways is saving reports. A report can be used to save settings and
measured values of a bus device. By creating a backup you can avoid data loss (e.g. by accidentally
deleting settings). The backup
can also be imported to another device of the same type. This can be necessary when
a device is to be replaced or when several devices with similar tasks are to be configured.
ATICS® is continuously further developed and maintained. This also influences the content of the report file. If you try to save a report that has been created with an older ATICS® (version older than
1.20)
in an ATICS® with a current firmware, this may lead to error messages.
These error messages are indicated on the web user interface.
Repeat the saving process of the report in ATICS® several times. This way, the majority of the
parameters can be transferred. The remaining error messages indicate the parameters that
have to be changed manually.
To conclude, check all settings saved in ATICS®.
Save these settings in a new report file.

Bender recommends a monthly test to ensure that the operating personnel is familiar with the testing procedure in the event of a fault.
With all the tests, follow the instructions for carrying out functional tests on the checklist in the appendix of this manual. If no local/national directives apply, you should at least perform periodic verification as recommended by DIN VDE 0100-710 (VDE 0100 Part 710) for application in medical
locations.

WARNING
9.2Maintenance
The ATICS® system does not contain any parts that must be maintained. Despite this, the intervals
specified for periodic verification should be adhered to. We also recommend regularly checking the
Allen screws at the ATICS® and the Torx® screws of the connectors on the incoming and outgoing
lines of the automatic transfer switching device to make sure they are tight.
9.3Cleaning
ATICS® may only be cleaned with a clean, dry, soft and antistatic cloth.
9.4Operation with bypass switch
ATICS-BP-… bypass switch makes possible parallel supply from Line 3. ATICS® can be connected in any
way or replaced without interrupting the power on Line 3.
The green indicator indicates position 1 of the ATICS® device, which at the same time indicates that
the bypass switch can be operated. In fault-free condition, line 1 is in position 1 and voltage is applied.
Only qualified personnel may operate the bypass switch.
Set the bypass switch quickly from position "I" via "I+II" to position "II" and back
from "II" via "I+II" to "I".
The time during which the bypass switch is set to position "II" must be reduced to
the bare minimum.
Risk of short-circuit of the "Enable Bypass" light is ignored.
If ATICS® is not on the line to which the bypass switch is connected, it is possible
for a short-circuit to occur between Line 1 and Line 2.
The bypass switch may only be operated when the green "Enable Bypass" light
lights up.
If a voltage drop occurs on line 1 while the switch is set to "II" (=bypass) the switch must not be set
to position "I+II" or "I". In this case, the ATICS® device has to be manually switched to position "0" or
"I" by means of the Allen key. Only after doing this, the bypass switch can be set to position "I" while
the clear cover (manual mode) is open. Afterwards, the clear cover can be closed to activate the automatic mode. If the clear cover is closed before, the ATICS® device switches automatically to line 2.

Risk of electric shock when touching the contacts on line 1, 2 or 3.
Mains voltage at the contacts of line 1, 2 and 3.
Plug must not be touched unless the part is isolated.
9.5Replace ATICS®
The plug connectors make it easy to replace the device if
ATICS® has reached the end of its useful life or
an event has occurred which jeopardises safety: e.g. overvoltage, switching if there is a short-
circuit or component failure.
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of electric shock.
Before fitting the device and prior to working on the device connections, make
sure that the power supply has been disconnected.
If ATICS® is bypassed by an ATICS-BP-… bypass switch, then the regulations
which apply to working on live parts must be followed.
