Preventative Maintenance

Preventive maintenance consists of a scheduled list of activities to keep the UPS in good working order and prevent failures of critical systems. To ensure continuity of power supply and reduce or eliminate downtime, we recommend one of our comprehensive service plans.

We offer multiple service plans to suit your needs.

Semi-annual, annual, and battery maintenance plans are available to keep your system running efficiently and without interruption.

Semi-Annual Preventative Maintenance Plan

Full Service

  • Check for online status. Record any anomalies.
  • Perform a complete visual inspection of UPS. Record any damage.
  • Record system model.
  • Record part number.
  • Record serial numbers.
  • Record any unit specific identifier number.
  • Record all applicable display readings.
  • Check alarm history. Record any irregular messages.
  • Check fans for proper operation.
  • Checks all lights and indicators for proper operation if applicable.
  • Verify remote status panel operation if applicable.
  • Review system performance to address any issues & schedule repairs.
  • Provide an inspection report, with recommendations.

  • Perform a complete visual inspection of all internal sub-assemblies, wiring harnesses, contactors, cables.
  • Remove covers and check the following:
  • AC/DC Capacitors for any irregularities.
  • Record part numbers and date code.
  • Check all fuses.
  • Check all contacts to ensure secure connections.
  • Verify connections show no sign of discoloration.
  • Implement manufacturer field change notices, as possible.
  • If possible measure and calibrate, as necessary.
  • Measure and record phase-to-phase input, output, bypass, and battery voltages and currents.
  • Perform temperature checks on all breakers, connections, & associated controls.
  • Record all high temperatures.
  • Perform all necessary calibrations.
  • Clean interior and exterior of units.
  • Re-start UPS following proper operating procedures.
  • Return to Static Bypass.
  • Transfer Load to UPS Static Bypass.
