Power is the heart of an integrated system solution and now LifeSafety Power Inc., Mundelein, Illinois, provides predictive analytics for enterprise power solutions in the NetLink Network Communications Module and PowerCom Power System Manager.

Battery management

With the most comprehensive enhancements to NetLink in V8, LifeSafety Power offers smart monitoring, reporting and management for connected power solutions. New ground-breaking and patented battery management features gives integrators and users predictive tools to automatically manage power solutions and receive alerts in advance of a potential battery issue so they can take preventive actions before an outage occurs, optimising system uptime and reliability.

Users enter the system’s required battery backup time and this number is compared to the battery’s actual standby time with regular, automated load tests. An email is generated to the user when the tested result is shorter than the required backup time so service can be provided proactively, preventing system problems.

Additional cyber security

In addition, the latest version of NetLink includes additional cyber security protection, specifically against Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service attacks and brute force attacks. That means any attempt to compromise the functionality of NetLink via the network will be protected with password and other built in cyber protection.

Installers will further benefit from quicker initial set up with the ability to export and import page and power supply settings directly to the PowerCom Power System Solution dashboard. Another critical feature allows them to program output voltage and current normal conditions, run the output test and have the voltage thresholds automatically populated for all outputs. Users also have an option to change the lockout duration for an erroneous password.

LifeSafety Power’s technology innovation delivers critical information on the overall system health to integrators and end users, allowing the security infrastructure maximum system uptime.
