Now carrying the UL 294 Standard Listing, LifeSafety Power’s Helix™ ATS PDU is a combination Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed to facilitate maximum system uptime and redundancy in mission-critical applications.

On display at Booth 9073 during ISC West 2024, April 9-12 in Las Vegas, Helix ATS PDU is the latest product in the Helix family. The PDU serves as a rack power distribution device with network management for monitoring and control of each power output through a standard web browser.

Helix ATS functionality

Optional Helix ATS functionality uses a second AC input to provide automatic switchover if the primary AC source is compromised. Helix ATS mounts in a standard 19-inch rack, ideal for data center applications for access control and IT equipment such as servers, switches, and firewalls.

Helix ATS is configured in a 1U rack height with rear panel AC connections and front panel network, sensor, and input connections. The front panel LED display indicates the total AC draw and is fully network-managed for instant trouble notification via email/SNMP or through LifeSafety Power’s Multi-Site Manager (MSM) Enterprise™. 

Upper and lower threshold limits 

Using an embedded browser interface, Helix ATS monitors AC input voltages as well as the voltage and current of each output. Upper and lower threshold limits can be set for each output, alerting to potential problems with a powered device before a failure occurs. 

Each output can also be remotely reset through the browser interface, allowing the user to power cycle a connected device without needing to be physically onsite.
