FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Remote Site Power Failure Alert?
For a quotation, send these details: Power source and voltage; Backup duration target; Gateway heartbeat interval; Alarm escalation workflow. We use them to select sensors, gateways, power and the data connection.
Can a gateway report an outage after its own power is lost?
Only if the selected arrangement retains enough power and a working communication path to send the event. Review backup power, an outage input and the receiving system together; otherwise use a separate missing-data warning.
What should be tested when power returns?
Check device startup, restored communications, time settings and event acknowledgement. Agree how the outage and recovery will be shown to the operator before commissioning.
What should I check before selecting equipment?
Record these site details: Mains power state; Battery voltage; Gateway online status. Check the sensor output, receiving input, power supply and installation conditions together. Confirm any required approvals for the exact model and destination.
