<br /> <br /> <br />EXTENDED POWER LOSS <br /> <br />In the event of extended power loss to a facility certain precautionary measures should <br />be taken depending on the geographical location and environment of the facility: <br /> <br /> Unnecessary electrical equipment and appliances should be turned off in <br />the event that power restoration would surge causing damage to <br />electronics and effecting sensitive equipment. <br /> Facilities with freezing temperatures should turn off and drain the following <br />lines in the event of a long term power loss. <br />· Fire sprinkler system <br />· Standpipes <br />· Potable water lines <br />· Toilets <br /> Add propylene-glycol to drains to prevent traps from freezing <br /> Equipment that contain fluids that may freeze due to long term exposure <br />to freezing temperatures should be moved to heated areas, drained of <br />liquids, or provided with auxiliary heat sources. <br /> <br />Upon Restoration of heat and power: <br /> Electronic equipment should be brought up to ambient temperatures <br />before energizing to prevent condensate from forming on circuitry. <br /> Fire and potable water piping should be checked for leaks from freeze <br />damage after the heat has been restored to the facility and water turned <br />back on. <br /> <br />
