    SUCCESS STORY:
    Tripplite On-Line UPS Eliminates Transfer Time Failures

    Dan Horner of Sioux City Falls Two Way Radio was finding that his weekly generator test for his 911 System was causing costly problems like lock-ups and call lights not functioning. This weekly test ended with a technician having to drive to the remote site and restarting the 911 system leaving it unavailable for a few minutes while equipment came on-line.

    With a system as critical as 911, Dan found his existing UPS was not an acceptable solution, and was to blame for surges and poor switch-over times. These problems were causing catastrophic effects during the first minute of generator turn over. A solution was needed to address this issue before an actual power failure occurred in the middle of the night.

    Dan turned to TESSCO and was able to speak with engineers about the TrippLite On-Line UPS. The UPS system was able to filter surges and dirty power during the critical first minute of generator switch-over. This allowed the generators to stabilize and power the equipment. The TrippLite UPS was so successful that the first time Dan conducted the generator test with the TrippLite installed, they experienced no problems or outages on their mission-critical 911 systems.
