Description of the proposed services

Your UPS systems and peripheral electric equipment -up to eight appliances in all - are linked by a single modem line to our centre, which regularly records the essential parameters.

When an event occurs, your UPS automatically calls our Teleservice centre, which analyses the parameters and determines the level of importance of the call: anomaly or simple alert.

An alarm notification is sent by e-mail, fax, SMS at the same time to the customer and the regional MGE PowerServices supervisor during working hours or to the 24-hour standby network with an escalation procedure defined by contract with the customer.

Emergency intervention is implemented with your prior approval and based on recorded diagnostic elements -more than 500 parameters -by an MGE PowerServices expert.

A full analysis of your protection system is automatically generated and a report sent to you every quarter.

Analysis of the trends of the main technical algorithms enables MGE PowerServices experts to anticipate possible failures dueto the ageing of certain wearing parts.
Subscription to Teleservice is free for the first year.
