Most generator system failures are caused by
consumables, such as battery, fuel, oil, and water. Monitoring the status
of these and other key performance parameters can provide critical information
to both generator system owners and service dealers. This presentation will
cover the prognostic use of data to prevent failures & increase reliability
of generator systems. We will look at the basic technology and features &
benefits of remote monitoring and how remote monitoring can also assist in the
compliance of industry regulations, such as NEC, NFPA, JCAHO, & CARB.
