You are opening a place
What must not stop is decided before the wiring: the till, the server, the network, the doors. The backup and its own line go in with the rest.
The server keeps dying
Usually the first thing we check. Cuts and switchovers that the equipment was never protected from.
You have a generator
The backup covers the seconds between the cut and the generator, so nothing blinks and nothing is lost.
How a power backup installation goes
- 01The plan
What genuinely must not stop, and for how long.
- 02The installation
The units sized and installed, and the protected line wired.
- 03The setup
Clean shutdown set for the server.
- 04The handover
Tested by pulling the plug.
What power backup changes for you
- What must not stop, does not stop. The till, the server, the network, the cameras, the doors.
- Sized properly. Enough to ride through cuts and switchovers, with time to spare.
- Its own line. The backup feeds what matters and not the water heater.
- Clean shutdown on long cuts. The server closes properly and nothing is lost.
- Batteries watched. They wear out. They are checked and replaced before the day they are needed.
How power backup is charged
By project, as part of a fit out or on its own, with the number agreed before work starts.
After the power backup installation
Kept running under the IT management agreement with everything else, or handed over working. Either way you have the plan and access to everything.
