Mains Power Failure Alarms

Mains Power Failures (power cuts) are infrequent in some locations, but far too frequent in others, but on all occasions these events can be seen as either a simple irritant (resulting in having to reset clocks etc) to a major incident (incurring huge costs & inconvenience due to lost & damaged goods and even worse dangerous medical emergencies).

The damage may be in the form of lost food in a freezer, unusable chemicals & medicines in storage, computer failure due to overheating servers, lost plants within a greenhouse, dead fish in a tropical tank, production lines stopping, the list is endless.

It could also result in a very serious medical emergency if equipment fails to operate.

Prompt action following a power failure can in most cases, prevent any potential problem, because of this we have designed a selection of alarms that will alert you when this occurs.

Our mains power failure alarms are very easy and quick to install, they are all supplied with a 3-pin plug in transformer which simple plug into a wall socket (on the ring main being protected), and they vary in how they will alert you once activated.

FAQ's:
