Did my Generator turn on?

There's only one monitoring system for home generators and its the TRUE TRACKER ® with API Monitoring. If you maintain your generator monthly it will work at its peak for you. Still there are some instances when maintenance can be overlooked, or unforeseen events can interrupt a generators exercising cycle, or even interfere with its primary function, which is to back up your power. With the TRUE TRACKER ® your maintenance technicians will have a direct line to your generator to monitor its performance. If you already have another company handling your maintenance that is giving you excellent service, or you are out of our service area, you are not out of luck! The Tracker is available nationwide. See the website at www.truetrackerwireless.com.

How the TRUE TRACKER ® Monitoring System Works

A monitoring panel located near the electric power (or at the generator) is connected to start wires which monitor the available power going into the equipment being monitored. When the power is interrupted, a signal is sent back to API's Central Station using wireless technology.

Through the use of customized software programming, the message is interpreted (cause; temporary power outage, burned out lights, fault created by miss-use, deficient parts, or breakdown) and an alert is sent to the recipient indicating if a correction is needed. Depending upon the pre-set actions desired, when the fault is reported, the customer can correct the problem or have their designated service company handle the necessary repairs.

With monitoring, you solve problems before they can affect you. For true Peace of Mind, contact us for your TRUE TRACKER ® Monitoring System. We will show you how you can have your equipment monitored 24 hours a day and obtain reports automatically on the reliability of your equipment (lights, signs, billboards, generators, pumps, etc.)

TRUE TRACKER ®  GENERATOR MONITORING

An emergency standby generator will check in at every exercise cycle. If your generator fails to check in; a signal will be sent to API’s Central Station as well as to your designated technician along with your own computer, to alert you to a fault. This gives you the opportunity to have the problem corrected before the generator is called upon for a power outage.

The TRUE TRACKER ® Monitor can be installed on existing standby systems as well as portable or trailer units which are used for temporary outages or used for remote locations such as Cell Tower use. It can be installed on most brands of generators as well.

TRUE TRACKER ® - SUMP PUMP MONITORING

You have a backup sump pump which has limited hourly capacity. You have a secondary sump pump in your pit. And you may even have a backup generator in case of a power outage. But if your pump burns out and you don't know about it; your basement could flood and costly damage ensue. Many insurance companies are not paying for this type of "flooding".

However, if you have a simple monitor system attached to your primary pump, you will be alerted when it does not work, giving you valuable time to change out the pump before the next storm or flooding. This monitor can be installed separately or in conjunction with your generator backup system. You've worked hard to enjoy your basement; don't let it be ruined.


TRUE TRACKER ® - BILLBOARD MONITORING

The lights of the billboard are monitored to send an alert when a light is burned out, a ballast is going and will need replacing, or allows you the ability to change the lights remotely to allow for Daylight Savings Time.

The use of a TRUE TRACKER ® Monitoring System provides long term advantages by being able to control the electrical power usage of a sign during daylight hours, or when a sign is not being used.  This results in substantial cost savings as well as vital energy conservation.


TRUE TRACKER ®  - STREET LIGHTS MONITORING
Street Lighting; particularly in well-traveled areas, is essential to public safety. By monitoring key lighting, it is possible to ascertain when the ballast is going and will need replacing prior to the light actually burning out. The safety factor in this system    is priceless. The system will also work on Stop/Go lights where it is imperative that heavy-traffic volume is not disrupted.
