generator, ups, standby power monitoringWe have just upgraded our REMO® remote monitoring equipment for Diesel Generators and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies).

Diesel Generator battery Monitoring

One of the most exciting features is our new generator UPS battery monitoring feature to eliminate the single biggest cause in generator failure in a standby power system. We are the first to provide this feature on a remote standby power monitoring system in the UK market and the addition of a battery-monitoring module to existing standby power systems, will ensure the reliability of generators when called upon to supply critical standby power in the event of a mains failure. deisel generator remote monitoringGenerator battery problems can often go undetected as Tom Sperrey, managing director for UPS Systems explains:

"One of the most common causes of a standby power system failure is due to the generator not starting. Often this is because of battery malfunction. REMO now has the ability to alert system operators to potential battery problems and avoid costly malfunctions."

Hybrid systems, incorporating a UPS and a generator, are particularly vulnerable. Power loss can be rapid, causing business continuity and system integrity issues. Generator failures will result in systems having to rely solely on the power stored in a UPS. This period of time is short, often just a few minutes as a UPS is only rated to cover the time required for a generator to start and accept the load. Signal strength and communication with standby power equipment has also been improved with the addition of a network-independent roaming SIM card for those remote-monitoring systems using a GSM modem.

REMO Live

REMO Live is a diagnostic aid for standby power equipment and helps IT and facility managers identify problems before they occur. Developed in-house by standby power experts at UPS Systems plc, REMO Live is a unique tool providing protection for a range of systems, including generators, UPS equipment and fuel cells. As well as alerting users to equipment faults and power failures, REMO Live monitors a wide array of operating parameters in both generators and UPS. Users can log into REMO Live at anytime through a secure web-based platform. REMO Live provides an overview of the system, and then allows the user to drill down for more detailed reports about specific pieces of equipment.
