Backup Power Module operation
NOTE: This module requires a separate license. See Licensing for more information.
The Backup Power Module provides generator and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) monitoring and reporting. It reports on generator and UPS performance and battery health.
The Generator Test EPSS Report can be configured to conform to the requirements for an Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) test, including automatic transfer switches (ATS). For example, the report shows the transfer time of the lead ATS and indicates whether the transfer time passes or does not pass the test requirements. See Emergency Power Supply Systems for more information on EPSS.
Use the Backup Power module to:
- Identify generator problems that could prevent a transfer to backup power.
- Automatically record and document the backup generator system test.
- Monitor the generator battery health.
- Report on backup generator run times.
- Monitor the condition of your UPS, including the battery health.
