Yeh it should - most of the pump station controllers have  pump failure alarm along with a liquid level alarm, but some come fitted with a power failure alarm. 

This sort of thing should be used with a battery backup.

They can also be retrofitted with a power failure alarm. 

 

 

I'll have to have a look or ask, would be useful to avoid a repeat of the past two weeks.

He's coming back on Wednesday so I'll be having words! 

 

Sparkies are good at stuff like that: fiddle with your system (whatever it is doesn't matter) and in our case has managed to 

• defrost a freezer (*king 'ell I was cross) 
• put two switches on our SunAmp where one used to be OK, left one switch on, t'other off - why should I tell the customer eh, tell me that now  - freezing bloody shower
• arrive with a second export meter  '... gorra fit this merrrt... '  only to see he'd already fitted one  last year
• and always, but always leaves one or more circuits breakers 'off' and leaves the site gurning like an eejit, I shouldn't wonder.

You can also get GSM power failure alarms that are about £150 and they have battery backup. It can be useful to have some of these sorts of alarms when you’re very dependent on the systems working !!!

Reminds me I never got round to fitting my alarm, but then again I can hear it every time I feed the chickens next to it. It’s on my to do list ?
