| Q: |
Will
I be notified if my building suffers a power outage? Top |
| A: |
Yes. The IMS-4000 monitors the
power from where ever it is plugged in. |

|
| Q: |
My
data center is fully protected by a UPS. There are
no `dirty' power outlets in this room. How can I
monitor the power coming in from my public utility? Top |
| A: |
If you cannot have an unprotected
power outlet provided easily, you can use the IMS
Power Outage Sensor, sold separately, to monitor
power remotely from outside the room. See the Power
Outage Sensor for more details. |

|
| Q: |
Does the IMS monitor all power phases in my building? Top |
| A: |
No. Since a standard wall outlet is only connected to one leg of the power distribution system the IMS will only monitor this circuit. While power outages generally impact the entire utility power service, it is possible to lose only one phase within your facility and thus your building would suffer a partial outage. Use the Power Outage Sensor to monitor additional circuits connected to all power phases within your facility. Your house electrician can help you identify which outlets are supported by each phase. |

| Q: |
If
I receive an alarm message from the IMS informing
me about a power outage, and the power comes back
on before I decide I need to shut down my systems,
will I be notified again? Top |
| A: |
Yes. You can instruct the IMS
to contact you when the power status returns to
normal. This is called Return-to-Normal. |
