The monthly tests will affect those areas with electrical outlets and systems connected to the emergency generator. Currently, emergency power feeds all emergency (red) power outlets and outlets covered with red cover plates, exit lights, some corridor lights,
elevators, telecommunications, and the fire alarm system.</div>

If an <b><u>unavoidable emergency</u></b> arises close to the time that the emergency generator test is scheduled and you feel that a brief power interruption would be detrimental to your operation, immediately contact the Institute for Human Performance team
at 315-467-4322 or 315-467-4323.</div>

The test, although intended to simulate an actual power outage, has been modified to keep the disruption to a minimum. If an actual power outage occurs, the electrical circuits supported by the generator will be without power for 5 to 10 seconds except for
those areas which have their own uninterruptible power supplies (operating rooms, etc.) Our recent experience suggests that a real power outage can be expected once a year. If you have equipment, processes, etc. that cannot cope with a power outage of this
duration, your department should consider installing uninterruptible power supplies (UPS's).</div>
