Power outages can happen when you least expect them, leaving you stranded and frustrated when trying to get in or out of carparks, boom gates, or garages. Whether you’re managing a residential carpark, a commercial property, or an industrial site, ensuring smooth vehicle access during a power failure is critical.

The solution? The RollUPS range of UPS battery backup systems.

Why Keeping Garage Doors Open Matters During Power Failures 

During an outage, the ideal solution is to use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to power garage doors or boom gates, enabling them to open and close as usual. The RollUPS range is more than capable of handling this, providing reliable power to ensure doors or gates operate when needed.

Why Choose RollUPS for Garage Doors and Boom Gates?

The RollUPS range is designed to handle critical motor loads like garage doors and boom gates. Key benefits include:

1. Single-phase and 3-phase Motors: Suitable for a variety of setups.
2. Reliable Power: Keeps garage doors or boom gates operational during power failures.
3. Battery Optimisation: Features like sleep mode (on some models) and the optional relay card help conserve battery life by keeping doors open in busy environments.
4. Flexibility: Extend battery time with additional battery modules, or add accessories such as an SNMP or relay card for enhanced control.
5. Built for Inductive Loads: Perfect for heavy-duty, high-demand motor-driven applications.

Optional Relay Card for Enhanced Automation

For customers who want even greater efficiency, the relay card is an optional accessory for the RollUPS range. It’s a smart way to conserve battery life in high-traffic situations by automatically opening the garage door or boom gate when the power goes out.

Here’s how it works:

1. Power Outage Detection: The UPS detects a power failure instantly.
2. Signal Transmission: The relay card sends a signal to the garage door or boom gate, triggering it to open automatically.
3. Staying Open: The system keeps the door or gate open until power is restored, conserving the UPS battery.

This optional upgrade is especially useful for busy carparks.

A Case Study: Keeping Carparks Running with RollUPS

One of our commercial carpark customers recently implemented a RollUPS UPS system with an optional relay card. Here’s what happened:

• The Problem: During a storm-induced blackout, vehicles were unable to exit because the garage door couldn’t open. Relying on a manual override was slow, causing frustration for tenants and staff.
• The Solution: They installed the RollUPS system and added the optional relay card to automatically open the garage door during power failures.

The Outcome: The garage door opened instantly when power was lost and stayed open until power was restored. Vehicles exited without issue, and the UPS battery lasted far longer, avoiding unnecessary strain.

A Solution You Can Rely On

Whether you need to power garage doors, boom gates, or other critical systems, the RollUPS range offers a dependable solution. And with the optional relay card, you can take efficiency one step further.

In today’s world, ensuring uninterrupted power is critical for businesses, industries, and even residential setups. This is where an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) comes into play, offering a reliable solution for seamless power management.

What is an ATS? 

An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a device designed to automatically switch the power source from a primary supply, like a UPS or mains power, to a backup source in case of a failure. This ensures continuous power delivery, protecting critical systems from downtime or data loss.

For example, when used with a UPS, the ATS monitors power from the UPS and automatically transfers to mains power if the UPS experiences a fault or loses input. This transition happens seamlessly, ensuring your equipment remains operational.

Key Features of ATS

• Seamless Switching: Transfers power sources without manual intervention, minimizing downtime.
• Safety and Reliability: Ensures protection for connected devices by eliminating power interruptions.
• Versatility: Compatible with various setups, from small-scale operations to high-capacity installations.
• Wall-Mounted or Rack-Mounted Options: Suitable for any setup requirements.
• PDU and DB (Distribution Board) in One Product: Simplifies power management with a single solution.
• Inbuilt RCD on Output Circuits and GPOs: Ensures safety and compliance with power regulations.

Where Can You Use an ATS?

1. Data Centres: Ensure continuous power to servers and IT equipment.
2. Industrial Applications: Maintain critical operations during maintenance or power failures.
3. Residential Systems: Keep essential systems like medical equipment or home offices running.
4. Retail and Commercial Spaces: Prevent disruptions to point-of-sale systems and lighting.
5. Medical Facilities: Protect vital medical equipment, such as refrigerators for life-support systems, scanners, and CT machines, ensuring patient safety and compliance with healthcare standards.
6. Generators: Automatically switch equipment (up to 40A) over to a compatible generator, ensuring continuous operation during power outages.
