Simple, Dependable Power-Failure Notification

The POAS continuously monitors the electrical power supplying a refrigerator, freezer, battery backup system, or other critical device.

When utility power is interrupted, the system automatically calls the programmed telephone contacts in sequence. This allows responsible personnel to investigate the outage, check the protected equipment, and implement the facility’s emergency response procedures.

Up to four telephone numbers can be programmed directly into the unit. An alarm can be acknowledged locally at the device or remotely during the telephone call.

A Practical Choice for Facilities With a Telephone Line

The POAS is designed for facilities that want direct telephone notification and already maintain a compatible analog telephone connection.

Because contacts are programmed directly into the unit, staff do not need to access an online dashboard to configure basic alerts. Once installed and programmed, the POAS provides a focused and dependable way to notify personnel when power to protected equipment has been interrupted.

Optional Temperature Monitoring

Power-failure monitoring is included with the POAS. One additional compatible sensor can be connected to expand the system’s monitoring capabilities.

An optional temperature probe can provide an additional warning when conditions inside a refrigerator or freezer move outside the programmed range. This can help personnel identify temperature problems caused by equipment malfunction, an open door, or an outage that extends beyond the available battery runtime.

Sensor selection should be based on the protected equipment, operating temperature, and environmental conditions.

How the POAS Works

1. Monitor The POAS continuously supervises the incoming power supply and any connected optional sensor.
2. Detect When the system identifies a power failure or another programmed alarm condition, it begins the notification process.
3. Call The POAS calls the programmed telephone contacts in sequence.
4. Acknowledge An authorized person can acknowledge the alarm during the telephone call or directly at the monitoring unit.
5. Respond Staff can investigate the outage, inspect the affected refrigerator or freezer, and implement the facility’s response procedures.

Power-Outage Notification and Battery Backup Protection

A battery backup system and a power-outage alarm perform two different but complementary functions.

The battery backup supplies temporary emergency power to help keep a refrigerator or freezer operating. The POAS informs designated personnel that utility power has failed so they can evaluate the situation before the available battery runtime is exhausted.

Used together, these systems provide both temporary emergency power and direct personnel notification during an outage.

Configure a POAS for Your Facility

The appropriate monitoring configuration depends on the equipment being protected, the availability of a compatible POTS telephone line, and whether optional temperature monitoring is required.
