From TarantiJ at upstate.edu Fri May 1 08:20:09 2026 From: TarantiJ at upstate.edu (Jason Tarantino) Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 12:20:09 +0000 Subject: [util] Library NAB Silverman WH SAB WHA Generator Test Notice Message-ID: TO: DATE: All Departments with Space in the Library, Weiskotten Hall, Weiskotten Hall Addition, New Academic Building, Setnor Academic Building and AC Silverman Hall May 2026 SUBJECT: Generator Test: Medical Library, Weiskotten Hall Addition, Weiskotten Hall (including SAB), NAB and Silverman Hall The next monthly test is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026. 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 equipment, processes, etc. that cannot cope with a power outage of this duration, your department should consider installing uninterruptible power supplies (UPS's). THE WEISKOTTEN HALL TEST PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS: ? The emergency generator will start between 5:00AM and 5:05AM and will be used as the source for emergency power for approximately 30 minutes. ? The emergency power will be switched back to normal between 5:30AM and 5:35AM when the generator turns off. ? Emergency outlets (red) and emergency lights will blink when the test starts and again when it ends. THE MEDICAL LIBRARY 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. ?
