Regarding the UPS, do I need to purchase it from your company, or can I purchase one locally.
The ups are a bit more complicated as it is very difficult to get permission to import anything with a lithium battery. For clients in the US most resellers can buy them from a locval supplier to save on shipping costs. That said our battery management module can support over 1000 different ups brands and models. Not all will have the same available features so that is one thing to keep in mind when purchasing one. Also, you must have a network card for communication purposes if you have several units spread throughout a facility. If they are all on the same rack then we can also communicate to the UPS via USB cable ( depending on the brand). So yes, you may purchase them locally. We are currently in beta testing with some local municipalities to automate the monthly or quarterly testing of the emergency lighting system. This feature will perform the battery health check autonomously and then send out a report to the local fire marshal with all the relevant information required to pass the inspection.
