Function
ATyS Automatic Transfer Switches automatically transfer to the available source, ensuring continuity of supply to life safety and critical loads such as sprinklers, firefighting/evacuation lifts, water pumps, etc. In addition, the no-break maintenance bypass function ensures continuity of service during inspection, preventative maintenance, and testing; full isolation of the Automatic Transfer Switch ensures that maintenance work can be carried out safely.
ATyS Single Line Bypass provide a no-break priority source bypass. In addition to the functions of a Single Line Bypass, ATyS Double Line Bypass allow the alternate source to be selected during maintenance procedures.
Source availability, ATS position & status, and source measurements are displayed on the door-mounted D20 interface. Access to configuration parameters, test, and control functions (password protected) is also available via the D20.
ATS Bypass are required for compliance with installation standards BS 9999 and BS 8519, where occupation of the building is conditional upon the availability of the life safety and fire-fighting equipment.

Advantages
Safe maintenance without interruption
In addition to its primary switching function, operation into bypass mode fully isolates the ATS without interruption to the load, enabling safe maintenance and testing operations to be performed.
100% manufacturer certified IEC 61439-2 solution
ATyS Bypass is a reliable and safe solution, certified by independent third party LOVAG/ASEFA in accordance with standard IEC 61439-2.
