power source whilst the generator starts up to support both the UPS and the building life safety systems for hours or even days.
ENSURING RELIABILITY: REGULAR TESTING AND MAINTENANCE UPS systems and standby generators require meticulous installation, and serious maintenance. Regular testing verifies functionality, and proper maintenance ensures these systems are ready to perform flawlessly when lives depend on them.
INVESTING IN PEACE OF MIND Life Safety diesel generators and emergency standby power protection systems offer the most valuable means of escape during an evacuation of a building. By ensuring uninterrupted operation, these systems ensure all means of escape are available, including fireman’s lifts. Minimise the risk to life, and protect escape
W
hen emergencies strike, seconds matter. In buildings of all sizes, ensuring life safety
systems involving fire alarms, sprinkler pumps and emergency lifts MUST remain operational is paramount. This is where Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and standby generators play a critical role.
DUAL POWER FOR DOUBLE THE PROTECTION Life safety systems shouldn’t rely on a single source of power. Building codes now mandate a dual power supply approach. The primary source is typically the utility grid, but a secondary backup Power Continuity system ensures continuous operation during outages.
UPS: CONTINUOUS POWER A UPS acts as a vigilant guardian for life safety equipment. It constantly monitors incoming power and seamlessly takes over within milliseconds of a grid outage. This uninterrupted power allows critical systems to function without interruption, giving occupants precious time to evacuate safely. Containerised UPS Life Safety systems can maintain power for up to two hours.
STANDBY GENERATORS: SECOND LINE OF DEFENCE While a UPS provides immediate no break backup, its battery life autonomy is in minutes. This is where standby generators come in.
Designed to automatically activate upon extended power outages, generators provide a reliable source of continuous power whilst a building evacuation takes place. A UPS provides a NO BREAK alternative
