Need Equipment Service Labels?

Our Field Service Engineers try to get these “Call for Service” stickers on all of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Power Conditioning units we service so it is easier to get a hold of us in emergency situations or when replacement batteries are needed.

However, if your equipment does not have a sticker or you would like additional stickers, just send a quick email to info@titanpower.com or contact us letting us know how many you would like mailed to you.

We are always amazed how often these stickers are put to good use. They are handy not only during normal working hours for quick reference, but really prove their worth at 2:00AM when the equipment goes down, and a limited support crew or individual scrambles to make sense out of how to restore power.

Our support center is available at 800-509-6170 for emergency calls or scheduling 7x24x365

Is Your Battery Back-up System Ready?

We at Titan Power understand how important power protection is to maintaining and preserving your company’s critical operations uptime.

Considering the Monsoon Season officially begins June 15 and ends September 30, power outages due to the upcoming storms are just around the corner. As a service provider, we recommend reviewing your UPS batteries and consider replacements if they are nearing their life expectancy of 3 to 5 years and/or consider additional strings for true Uninterrupted Power.

Below are several points to think about regarding your batteries and battery performance now and for future reliability

1. Do You Have Multiple Strings of Batteries?

Given the fact that batteries are unreliable, multiple strings of batteries in parallel are recommended to ensure reliable battery backup during a power outage.

A single string of batteries in a UPS are similar to links in a chain, if one battery in a single string fails the rest of the batteries in the string are useless.

Having parallel strings of batteries in series will ensure that the UPS will perform properly during a power outage even if one battery in one string fails.

2. How Much Battery Run Time Will You Need?

How much time is needed to shut down all equipment in the event of an extended power outage? Once determined, this will be the amount of time the UPS will require in battery run time. Depending on the UPS and battery size, this may require two or more strings of batteries.

3. What Kind of Environment Are Your Batteries In?

Ensuring that the environment for the batteries meets the battery manufacturer’s specification is critical. Three factors will cause batteries to fail prematurely, these are:

Temperature: Batteries require the optimum temperature of 77 degrees. Every degree over 77 decreases the battery life by shortening the batteries life expectancy.

Usage: The more power outages the UPS encounters the shorter the life of the battery.
Example: Look at the battery like a loaf of bread.  The loaf of bread has only so many slices. Every time a slice of bread is removed the loaf gets smaller. It is the same with batteries; every time the batteries are used, the capacity and the ability of the battery to store energy decreases (the loaf gets smaller).

Age: The age of batteries are determined by the numerical age (months or years) but also by the above two factors (temperature and usage). To determine the battery age (whether it can perform to manufacturer’s spec.) we will rely on all three factors combined. Average life expectancy of UPS batteries is 3-5 years.

4. Are Your Batteries On A Maintenance Program?

Battery Maintenance is required semiannually, at a minimum, to ensure that the UPS and its batteries are operating properly. Batteries are unreliable and one or more will fail during the life expectancy of three to five years. If the batteries are tested and fall bellow manufactures specification they should be replaced to ensure proper operation and so the UPS can provide the Uninterruptible Power.

In summary, VLRA (Valve Regulated) UPS batteries are unreliable and multiple strings in parallel are needed to ensure that the UPS can provide true Uninterruptible Power. It is important to consider this information when determining the need for battery replacements and adding additional battery strings.

Titan Power, Inc. Celebrates 25th Anniversary with New Website Launch

 
Titan Power's New Website

Titan Power's New Website

Titan Power, Phoenix, AZ extends its responsiveness with the launch of a new website. Features include overviews of data center construction, product information including sales and service of UPS, power distribution, battery and generator products.  

Titan Power Inc. in Phoenix, AZ ratchets up its level of service with the launch of their new generation website.  Extending its commitment to emergency power customers in Arizona, Nevada, California, New Mexico, Colorado and across the Southwest, the new site allows clients and potential customers to find a wealth of timely information on all aspects of mission-critical power systems.  

The site has a picture gallery of major emergency power construction projects that highlight Titan Power’s “turn-key” data center construction services.  Potential customers can register to receive updates on the company’s sales, installation and service capabilities, including technical support, sales, service and repair for uninterruptable power systems (UPS), power distribution equipment, batteries, data-center cooling systems and generators.   

One of the major additions is the ability to provide information on improvements in the broad spectrum of mission-critical equipment.  For example, a visitor to the new Titan Power website can read about new high-performance cooling systems for datacenters that allow for the addition of more equipment without expanding the footprint of the facility.  Website visitors will be able to access basic information on a wide range of products and services 24/7, with the ability to easily request additional information via e-mail or telephone.  

The new site will archive informative newsletters and press coverage, as well as upcoming educational events directed to the individuals who manage the data and IT centers for their respective organizations. The improved navigation, inclusion of an expanded product section make this new site the “go to” place for data and IT professionals needing background and comparison information for bid specification and RFP preparation.  

Titan Power customers are particularly pleased with their password-protected section of the new site.  With a username and password, they can view all their contracts, renewal dates, proposals/bids, and maintenance schedules.  As each scheduled maintenance visit is completed, Titan’s technical staff will update each customer’s record to reflect the completed task then send the customer an electronic Field Service Report (FSR) documenting the completed service.  This feature is especially important for managers who oversee data centers in multiple locations, as it provides a real-time record of this important feature of Titan Power service with a few key strokes.  

Celebrating 25 years in the emergency power sales and service business, Titan Power knows the mission-critical field inside and out. Their breadth of sales and service delivery across the southwest allows them to provide significant emergency power consultation expertise prior to the purchase of upgraded or replacement equipment.  Their industry knowledge supports customers as they transition from less efficient back-up systems to “greener” systems that take up less room, consume less electricity, and provide more secure operation.  The success of Titan Power is grounded in their “Culture of Responsiveness,” and the launch of a more user-friendly website is yet another way they support the professionals they serve.  

Titan Power, Inc is a full-service provider of uninterruptable power solutions and preventative maintenance.  They are licensed to provide “turn-key” data center, main distribution frame (MDF), and independent distribution frame (IDF) construction in Arizona, California and Nevada, including appropriate cooling and ventilation components. Their experienced professionals provide consultation on design, engineering, specification and compliance for mission-critical installations in hospitals, public safety and military organizations, casinos, and a wide variety of large and small data centers.
