You are here:
Power Quality and Lightning protection for Burgs, Fire, CCTV, and Gate access systems. I also want to hear about Back up Generator issues effecting your electronic equipment. I know all 24 manufactures of fire alarm panels. If you ask me I will tell you who I think is the best, and who is the worst. A lot has changed in 30 years, and many consumers have no idea what they are buying, and what they should expect for reliability for their systems. The question is, why are you paying for so many repairs? In the South, re-occurring revenue is extremely important. Do you fall in that category?
18 years trouble shooting every name brand in after market lightning issues.

I have the ability to use all my talent in Engineering to help protect security systems for lightning strikes.
It is a ministry
This area, is not well know by 99% of most technicians in the trade of security.
Yes, the name brands used, many prefer cheaper products, but normally they do not work. Most security techs, slap the protective product on the system with a kiss or a promise but fail.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAh! Simple answer: You need also a 2200VA UPS, that will not only keep you alive for six hours, but might be a little longer to support the heater and the camera. This cost of such an item
Well that is pretty simple. Take your voltmeter...everyone should have one, even if it is a radio shake special...test across the wires feeding your security panel power supply and you should see some
Let's address one thing. This picture does not help me..with your question but! If your security system is not hooked up, then it is not drawing current. The only reason you might be drawing a lot
I have answers... Siemens are using Transdector protectors...... 1st mistake. Also the protectors are installed inside the panel, 2nd mistake. Finally the straw that breaks the camels back they don't
No but I have such an enclosure $35.00 and I will supply the power supply. What is the power requirement for your camera? No I don't have documents to support the temperature status...but my assumption
