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