From TarantiJ at upstate.edu Tue Sep 1 11:33:13 2026 From: TarantiJ at upstate.edu (Jason Tarantino) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 15:33:13 +0000 Subject: [util] Generator Test: Geneva Towers Message-ID: TO: All Departments with Space in Geneva Towers DATE: September 2026 SUBJECT: Generator Test: Geneva Towers The next monthly test is scheduled for Monday, September 14th, 2026. THE GENEVA TOWERS TEST PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS: * The emergency generator will be started between 6:00AM and 6:05AM and will be used as the source for emergency power for approximately 30 minutes. * The emergency power will be switched back to normal between 6:30AM and 6:35AM when the generator turns off. * Emergency outlets (red) and emergency lights will blink when the test starts and again when it ends. The test, although intended to simulate an actual power outage, has been modified to keep the disruption to services at 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. Our recent experience suggests that a real power outage can be expected once a year. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the test or the emergency power system, please feel free to contact Marc Dingle, Electrical Facilities Manager at 4-8923 or 680-323-1819. Your continued cooperation in completing the code mandated emergency diesel generator test is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
