Enhance Your IT Offering with Austin Hughes’ ATS / iATS Product Range

As a UK authorised distributor of Austin Hughes, MB Technology is excited to showcase their range of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) and intelligent transfer solutions (iATS). These essential components ensure continuous, reliable power for IT infrastructure, preventing downtime and supporting business continuity. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits and features of Austin Hughes’ ATS and iATS solutions, and how IT resellers can leverage these products to enhance their customer offering.

Understanding ATS and iATS

An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) automatically switches the power supply between two sources – typically mains power and a backup source such as a generator or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This seamless transition ensures that critical systems remain operational during power interruptions, minimising downtime.

Austin Hughes offers three main types of ATS solutions:

1-Phase Basic ATS (LED Current Ammeter) – simple, reliable automatic switching for cost-effective applications.
1-Phase Intelligent ATS – available as the B Series iATS (LED Current Ammeter with 1 x Embedded Gigabit LAN IP) and W Series iATS (2.0” Touch colour LCD Meter with 1 x Embedded Gigabit LAN IP). The B Series provides a more cost-effective solution while maintaining intelligent monitoring capabilities.

This tiered approach allows resellers to offer solutions tailored to customer needs – from straightforward, budget-conscious installations to fully-featured intelligent power management.

Key Benefits of Austin Hughes’ ATS / iATS Solutions

Minimise Downtime and Maximise Uptime
ATS and iATS units automatically switch to backup power during interruptions, ensuring mission-critical systems remain operational. For resellers, offering these solutions helps your customers maintain business continuity even during power failures.
Flexible, Cost-Effective Options
With both standard ATS and intelligent B/W Series iATS units, Austin Hughes provides options to suit varying budgets and system complexities. The B Series iATS delivers intelligent monitoring at a lower cost than the W Series, giving resellers the ability to meet a wider range of customer requirements.
Remote Monitoring and Management
The B and W Series iATS feature embedded Gigabit LAN IP connectivity, enabling remote monitoring of power status and switchovers via a web interface. This allows engineers to access real-time system information, reducing maintenance costs and improving operational efficiency.
Advanced Features for Improved Reliability
Intelligent ATS units include load balancing, event logging, and advanced alarm notifications. These features help prevent power issues and provide detailed insights for troubleshooting, ensuring your customers’ IT infrastructure remains protected.
Seamless Integration
Austin Hughes’ ATS and iATS units are designed to integrate easily with existing IT setups, whether in data centres or office environments. With rack-mounted and standalone options available, these solutions provide flexible installation possibilities.
