Description
If the power goes out right when you need to open or close the business, you have to raise the shutter with the chain or crank, which is slow and hard work on large shutters. Backup power keeps the motor running during the outage so the shutter keeps working with the button station or the remote.
The solution depends on the motor. Some manufacturers make backup units designed for their shutter motors, which connect between the power supply and the control panel. In other cases, a UPS is used or the shutter circuit is connected to the business's inverter or generator, as long as it can handle the motor's startup, which draws more current than its normal rated consumption. During the visit we check the motor's power rating and what you already have installed.
How many cycles you get on backup depends on the battery, the size of the shutter and its condition, so we don't give a fixed number. It's a good idea to check the batteries at every maintenance visit.

Frequently asked questions
Can I connect the shutter to my inverter?
Sometimes, if the inverter can handle the motor's startup. We check first so we don't damage the inverter or leave the rest of the business without backup.
How many times will the shutter go up on backup power?
It depends on the battery, the weight of the shutter and its condition. During the visit we give you an idea for your case.
