Life Safety Automatic Changeover Switches

With Life Safety Systems becoming increasingly more important in the UK, Protek is pleased to be able to offer a range of compact and affordable Life Safety ATS units.

The implementation of Life Safety Systems aims to guarantee the safety of individuals during emergency situations by facilitating evacuation and providing access to essential services such as lifts, emergency & exit lighting, and fire alarms. Maintaining a reliable power supply to ensure people’s safety in public spaces or during essential processes is crucial. In case of a power loss, the ATS automatically switches to a secondary power source, such as a generator or alternative source.

Protek’s Life Safety ATS range feature a bypass function which allows for isolation by diverting the supply directly through to the outgoing load. This enables crucial maintenance operations to be carried out in compliance with life safety recommendations. In the event of an emergency or testing situation, a manual handle is accessible by opening the door providing for a safe and convenient source transfer, whether it be electrical or non-electrical.

The ATS device is housed in a sturdy, wall mountable, fully welded metal IP40 enclosure featuring removable gland plates top & bottom and is finished in a tough RAL 7035W powder coating. The hinged door has status indication LEDs mounted upon it and features a double-bit insert polyamide lock for security.

The ATS device ensures full enclosure of all current-carrying parts, eliminating exposed wiring and offering protection against direct contact. Proteks Life Safety ATS units are suitable for network/network and network/genset applications and feature configurable transfer and back-switching delays and adjustable over and under-voltage thresholds.
