Power Station isinstantaneous, reliable, virtuallymaintenance-free andeasy to install in confined areas.PowER STA1 ION is the eir.siest toinstall cmorgcncv pon'cr systcm nade.No separalc room for gcncrator orstor'iige battelies is requjred.Instead, this compact unit can be su|face-mounted or lecessecl in an-v avail

There are many critical der.iceswhich will not function properly unlessoperating voltagc is maintaincd atnormallevels. Such devices inclucle firealanns,communication centcrs, physi-cians' and nurscs' call systems. Bysupplying normal inpui voltages,PowER STATIoN allows sensitiveequipment to function without inter-ruption.That's because the unit's emergencyoutput is fully regulated so that it doesnot. vary more than t5% o\,er the9{4 load range. Even when loadchanges are made after installation,the H.Fl.L.P. PowER SrATroN can stillbe used without danger of a majoroutput voltage change.Unregrlatcd systerns, on the otherhand. must be matched to the load.Once matchecl. thc load cannot bcchanged without producing a widevoltage fluctuation. For situationswhere these output variations can betolerated or where load conditions arelikely to remain constant, unregulatedPowER STATIONS are available onspecial order.

It's also the simplest systemto maintain.Routine checks under load can bemade by unskilled personnel in lessthan a minute. Baltery rvater levelneeds checking only once a ycar
