Power System Monitoring: The Key To Continuous Operation
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
A small problem in a critical facility can quickly
escalate into a disaster—knowing what is happening
with your power equipment, so you can keep that
protective “envelope” at peak operating efficiency,
is vital to system reliability.
Different People Need To Know
Different Things
Liebert offers you more monitoring solutions than
anyone else because getting the right information
about your power equipment to the right people—
with the right level of urgency—is so important to
system availability.
We do this by allowing you to receive and use
information from your Liebert power equipment’s
microprocessor controls…no matter where it is located
or what communications protocol, operating platform
or building management system is being used. In-
band, out-of-band and web-based monitoring are all
available. From enterprise monitoring systems to
individual pieces of communications hardware, you will
know the exact problem so that you can implement
the right solution.
How Deep Does Your Monitoring
Need To Be?
Monitoring can range from a automated shutdown
software that provides basic operating information from
a single UPS unit—all the way to full-scale monitoring
and control of a critical facility including trending and
data analysis.
Your requirements will vary according to the specificity
of the information you need. You may require no more
than a local readout of a unit’s operating status. Or you
may need the ability to control its operation and
receive alarms.
These information requirements may also go beyond
basic monitoring and control. You may need the ability
to analyze performance data in order to pinpoint
trouble spots so that the same problems don’t
happen again and again.
