1. Safety instructions
Danger: Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
Parts of the system are live. During installation and connection:
► Do not touch parts of the system.
► Make sure that the power supply has been disconnected and the
system is dead.
► Switch the ATICS® to manual mode and to switch position "0".
► Lock the changeover device with a padlock to prevent it starting
accidently.
Warning: Risk of destruction if mains voltage incorrect
► The permissible mains voltage is indicated on the nameplate.
Danger: 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 (ATICS-4-160A-DIO only: stripping length 15 mm, with or without ferrules).
► Use a torque wrench to tighten the terminal screws. Check all
the screws on a regular basis to make sure they are seated
tightly.
ATICS-4-125A-DIO and ATICS-4-160A-DIO only:
High temperatures may affect the terminals
The terminals for the connection of Line, 1, 2, 3 are designed for the
specified rated operational current, at room temperature.
► Avoid higher temperatures or ensure that the load current is
reduced.

Caution: Risk of destruction by plastering
Liquid plaster may run into the device and the device may jam.
► Do not seal the device with plaster
ATICS® is suitable for DIN rail mounting or screw mounting on plate.
To guarantee the protection against accidental contact, it is to be installed behind a plastic cover.

7. Removing the terminal covers
ATICS-…-DIO Quick start
1. Push back the locking hook (B) in the middle of the top and
bottom terminal cover (A) by using a screwdriver.
2. Remove the terminal cover.
8. Mounting the ATICS® on DIN rail
1. Place the ATICS® on the top edge of the rail.
2. ATICS-2-DIO: Use a screwdriver to pull down the lower yellow
slide lock (C) and snap the ATICS® into place with slight pressure.
ATICS-4-DIO: Remove bottom green plug connector. Use
screwdrivers to pull down the two lower yellow slide lock (C)
and snap the ATICS® into place with slight pressure.
Check that the slide locks are properly snapped into position
by pulling slightly the lower part of the enclosure.
3. Secure all terminals including the unused terminals with Allen
screws.
Tightening torque: 5 Nm.
4. Fasten the terminal covers.
5. Tighten the mounting screws (D) (PZ1, 8.8 lb-in, 1 Nm).
Caution: If the screws are not tightened, ATICS® can be dama-
ged by the vibrations of the switch-over.

9. Mounting the ATICS® on mounting plate
Warning: Screw heads or washers reduce voltage clearance
Provide for sufficient clearance to live conductors (voltage clearance) by using mounting screws with flat screw heads and flat washers. If mounted on
electrically conductive material: the mounting plate has to be earthed and the area under the terminals has to be covered with insulating material. It is
the responsibility of the mounting staff to select the appropriate mounting plate and mounting screws and to keep the prescribed torque setting.
1. Undo the Allen screws of the terminals (C).
2. Remove the green plug connectors (D) top and bottom
3. Remove the black bridge (E) bottom
4. Fasten the ATICS® to the mounting plate with M5 mounting
screws, torque setting 22 lb-in, 2.5 Nm (see dimension diagram).
5. Insert the black bridge (E), bottom
6. Plug in the green plug connectors (D) top and bottom
7. Use Allen screws to tighten all terminals (C) including the
unused terminals.
Tightening torque: 5 Nm.
8. Fasten the terminal covers.
10. Fastening, inserting and securing connections
Connect the terminals according to the wiring diagram to the plug
connectors (A, B) and the connector plugs (C, D).
• Connect the lines 1, 2 and 3 to the plug connectors (A, B) with
a Torx® screwdriver T20 or a slotted screwdriver 6.5 x 1.2 mm.
Consider a stripping length of 20 mm and do not use ferrules.
Tightening torque: 2.5 Nm (≤ 25 mm²) or 4.5 Nm (≥ 25 mm²
ATICS-4-160A-DIO only: stripping length 15 mm, with or without ferrules, Tightening torque: 5 Nm.
The connecting wires must be laid so that they are short-circuit and earth-fault proof!
• Connect the three connector plugs (C) with a slotted screwdriver of 2.5 x 0.4 mm. Stripping length: 7 mm. Tightening
torque: 0.22…0.25 Nm.
1. Insert bottom green plug connector (B) and secure with
mounting screws.
ATICS-2-DIO: After that, insert top green plug connector (A)
and secure with mounting screws.
ATICS-4-DIO: After that, insert the two top green plug connectors and secure with mounting screws.
2. Insert the three connector plugs (C).
3. ATICS-4-DIO only:
Insert the connector plug (D) of the measuring current transformers T1 … T4 (D).
Note: The plug must noticeably click into place!
