Telecommunication Services

We have been providing the following quality telecommunication power services:

Evaluating Batteries: A battery evaluation involves checking the voltage, conductance, and/or specific gravity readings for each cell and comparing the reading with that of its original installation or a manufacturer's benchmark. If we notice large deviations in the readings we may resort to a load test to accurately determine the overall health of the battery(s). The battery evaluation tells us which batteries need to be replaced as well as which batteries can be deferred for another year. This enables our customers to get the maximum life out of each battery while at the same time not jeopardizing their service.

Installing Batteries: Our installation services consist of ordering, installing, removing, and recording batteries for both central offices and outside plants. Ordering- Our customer's Engineering Department, with the assistance of Clear Power Solutions, chooses which manufacturer and model they wish to install. Clear Power Solutions is then responsible for ordering the batteries and related products as well as maintaining an emergency stock for the outside plants. Installing - Batteries are transported to the site. Initial voltage, conductance, and/or specific gravity readings are measured and recorded. This procedure prevents the installation of any defective batteries. Once the batteries are installed the overall system is checked and the batteries are put into service Removing - The spent batteries are then shipped to an authorized recycling company or back to the manufacturer. Recording - A written record of the location, type of battery, manufacturer's date code, voltage, conductance, and/or specific gravity readings are kept on file and submitted with the invoice.

Battery Maintenance: Our central office battery maintenance services include an initial evaluation and a regular maintenance schedule. An initial evaluation includes: 1) Visit the designated building. 2) Record battery information . (type, age, manufacturer, etc.) 3) Record the load and reserve hours available. 4) Top up the batteries with pure water, if flooded product. 5) Record cell strap and cable information. 6) Adjust float voltage, if needed. 7) Record power plant problems. (batteries, rectifiers, over current, cable temperature, battery room temperature 8) Do emergency maintenance, if required. 9) Advise engineering and local network of problems. Once the initial evaluation is completed the regular maintenance can proceed. Regular maintenance includes everything performed during the initial maintenance plus the following: 1) Record all cell conductance and/or specific gravity readings. 2) Record all cell voltage readings. 3) Retorque all inter-cell battery connectors and all cabling from the batteries to the power plant. 4) Replace inter-cell connectors as required. 5) Clean batteries. 6) Submit a report to the Engineering Department.
