[SML] Battery inverter backup

[Bill Conner]

It's hard to say.  There are systems and designs that will do that.  Taking
down might also send a signal to the fire department.  I'd have to look at
the building's electrical plans and the details of the gear.  I always put
these in a "dimmer room" (which should be called non-dimmer room or relay
rack room today) for noise concerns.  I think some of latest systems would
do that, but its been 5 or 6 years since I designed one so not sure.  Try
it and see what happens.

I think he UPS's I used also had an alarm silence - drilling through the
menu.  You might try that.  Best if you could talk to manufacturer's tech
support while doing it.

(I think you may have already had you class since you posted
around midnightFriday?  How did it go?)
