5. Commissioning

Our commissioning is provided by qualified, field service engineers. They inspect the configuration of the UPS system before the final setup ensuring your system is ready to deliver. They also carry out stringent checks giving you the assurance that your UPS and electronic infrastructure operates normally ensuring your UPS is up and running and ready to perform.

Our highly skilled installation team will clean the UPS unit, clearing it of dust to help ensure it operates without fault, check the UPS switching and batteries and also calibrate the UPS parameters. This will guarantee the manufacturer warranties will apply to the unit.

Post commission training from our engineers is given ensuring peace of mind that you have an understanding of your systems along with the correct documentation for the handover which certifies the commissioned status of the UPS.

6.Site Acceptance Testing

This service provides a thorough test of the UPS and batteries which simulates maximum load conditions to stress the UPS and generator. This stress tests the entire electrical infrastructure to identify potential risks so that they can be minimised. We test to see if the UPS is functioning correctly, performing to a high standard for your total confidence in your power supply. Our Engineers control the tests with either AC or DC load banks to test any UPS installation. This test is fully documented for traceability purposes.

9. Battery Services


As batteries are the weakest link in modern critical power systems, UPS & battery maintenance is important to prevent system failure and costly downtime as a UPS is only as reliable as the batteries it uses to support the load.

We test a range of aspects including:

Cell impendence
Cell voltage
Ripple and float current
Ohms
Battery resistance

We can test up to 2000Ah and remain online whilst testing. Our engineers carry out a periodic visual inspection with the best battery testers on the market to access the batteries and check on variables such as cell conditions, capacity and remaining operational life. Our engineers have top of the range specialist equipment to complete any task and will compile a comprehensive, easy to read report detailing the results and if necessary, recommend you the correct services or products to resolve problems in your system. By testing, our engineers will determine the ability of each battery to perform to specification for optimum performance and longevity to maximize your uptime.

Our engineers are trained in advanced battery testing to provide data on the health of the batteries and to pin point defects in the system. Our fast, reliable and vigorous tests are invaluable in monitoring battery performance, helping to minimize the risk of failure, reinforce reliability to ensure business continuity.

We also provides a complete UPS battery replacement service for any make or model of battery. Our expert engineers can provide a full replacement without interrupting power supply using fully insulated tools including socket and torque wrenches safe guarding your long-term investment.

10. Removal and Disposal

We can decommission and remove entire UPS systems including battery racks with little environmental impact and Health and Safety always at the forefront of our work. Our decommissioning projects are always expertly project managed so the task can be completed within the Safety regulations.

We comply with the EU regulations for the disposal of hazardous waste. We hold a Upper tier license with the Environment Agency to remove hazardous waste from site such as lead acid batteries and carry out removals in a safe and environmentally friendly way.

Trained in the proper handling of hazardous materials, we will collect and remove your old batteries in approved containers before ensuring their safe and prompt disposal.


11. Thermographics


Our Engineers use thermal Imagers to assist engineers identify faults in the uninterruptible power supply system. This service is an advanced technology that accompanies our products. The thermal imaging cameras can be used to identify ‘hot spots’. It works on the principle that all materials emit electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region which can be detected by the thermal imaging camera. The radiation is presented in a readily usable form being shown as a colour scale from black/blue/purple being cold to orange/yellow/white for hot.

Thermographic inspection can be an effective method of identifying defects that would not be located by visual inspection and could pass undetected during normal discharge testing. This equipment can be invaluable in assisting electrical inspections. This additional tool gives peace of mind to the customer and a higher level of assurance their uninterruptible power supply infrastructure is running correctly and efficiently.

This indication of higher temperature may indicate a loose connection, incorrectly tightened connections, over heated batteries and an increase in heat at terminations. This can result in accelerated deterioration of the insulation locally. All these problems can go undetected during a visual inspection but with the aid of thermal graphics, your uninterruptible power supply will be safely managed.


12.UPS Service Contracts

UPS and Batteries are high value pieces of equipment. In order to ensure that they are functional when the power fails they must be professionally maintained.
