Reliable, safe and long lasting: ATiCS

The transfer switching device with operational reliability

for safety-related and medical environments

SIL 2
Electrical safety without compromise
When it comes to human life, there can be no compro-
mise. Providing patients with the best possible support
and, in critical cases, saving and preserving life is all part
of a hospital's daily routine. The need to have a power
supply which is reliable is obvious . A power failure will
certainly lead to serious consequences for doctors,
nurses, technicians and hospital management.
Therefore: A power failure in critical medical areas
is not permissible and the highest level of electrical
safety is essential.
Electrical safety without compromise: this theme has
been practised and pursued at Bender for years.

Functional safety thanks to ATiCS, even for medical locations

ATiCS, our new transfer switching device for safety-related and medical locations, was the first on the market to
be developed and manufactured in compliance with IEC 61508 (SIL2). We consider it important to make ATiCS
as reliable and trustworthy as possible.

Positive examples from industry in terms of functional safety below

In areas such as the processing industry, nuclear power
plants, traffic engineering and the automotive industry,
functional safety is taken for granted and is defined
according to standards. We follow this positive example
and consistently pursue this route for medical locations
also.

ATiCS – safer than ever

■ Maximum safety for patients and staff
■ More reliable operation of machines
■ Transparency during the entire life cycle
■ Continuous self-monitoring
■ Reliable switching
■ Easy to operate and perfect overview
■ Easy wiring through integrated design
■ Completely pluggable

Possible sources of malfunction have been eliminated
by adjustments implemented early on before they could
arise. This process continues during production, quality
assurance and even after delivery. Bender takes this
concept further, pursuing it with absolute determination.

A system which thinks for you – over its entire life

This has been made possible by intelligent technology
– ATiCS constantly carries out self-tests and gives you
vital information, such as the need for testing or main-
tenance, clearly and in good time.
One special positive feature: the unit tells you it's time
for an update before the end of its safe operating life,
before it can cause a serious fault due to fatigue.
