Maintenance keeps critical power systems up
Harath has recently strengthened its uninterruptible power systems maintenance services capabilities, by increasing the scope of its site focused "critical power service" maintenance programme.
Batteries are the heart of all backup power systems and are the main cause of operational failures.
Without continuous battery monitoring, users of the majority of static UPS systems, centralised emergency lighting systems and rectifiers are unlikely to have any warning before their system lets them down.
Although a few advanced UPS and rectifier systems do monitor the overall battery performance and trigger an alarm in the event of abnormal conditions, an engineer still has to visit to identify the faulty modules.
Powershield eliminates the need for and cost of these diagnostic callouts by monitoring, analysing and pinpointing the faulty battery block.
It also enables users to compile comprehensive diagnostic reports to assist maintenance management and to add verification to warranty claims The Powershield battery monitor can be interfaced to building management systems, connected to a local area network or connected direct to Harath's 24 hour monitoring service via a modem link.
Harath Powershield software is Windows-based for simple integration into office management systems.
