Overview
• Blackout! The electric power supplying your
customers business is out. You knew it could
happen for a number of reasons at anytime.
Suddenly, you wish you had planned for this type of
event. Now it’s scrambling time. Their lights are out,
their alarms are on battery, their cameras are gone,
and their phone is out.
• Will you face this scenario this year? Not if you
prepare now by putting together a system that will
minimize the risk to the business operation you are
charged with protecting!!!!
Are You Prepared for a Power Failure?

What is the price to be paid after a
catastrophic event?
• Equipment replacement costs
• Lost productivity due to system downtime
• Idle workforce
• Disrupted scheduling of services
Can you afford a catastrophic event?
3
Historically what was done!!!
• Surge protection was viewed as an add-on, upgrade
or a luxury item
• It was left off a competitive quote.
• Dealers and integrators were willing to risk
downtime
• Let the customer deal with the insurance companies
for replacement
Can you risk the downtime?
5
What has changed today?
• Today equipment is more sophisticated and more
vulnerable to surge damage
• Avoidable downtime today will cost you customers
• More CCTV systems being installed to prevent
lawsuits and reduce shrinkage
• Is a logical extension of the protection you are
already selling
• Insurance companies routinely require the customer
to have surge protection devices installed before
they will make payment on any additional claims
resulting from surges.
Avoidable downtime will cost you customers.

American Meteorological Service Facts &
Statistics
•Lightning is random and unpredictable
•Current Levels can exceed 200,000 Amps
•Temperatures can exceed 50,000 Degrees Fahrenheit
•2,000 ongoing Thunderstorms cause over 100
Lightning Strikes each second, or from 9 to 20 million
per year
But it causes major damage every day.

National Insurance Institute Facts and
Statistics
•One damage claim for every 57 lightning strikes…
•Annual US property and equipment damage from
surges = $6 Billion per Year
•Average commercial claim = $15,000
•Does not include system downtime or lost customer
revenues
Annual damages = $6,000,000,000

What is a SURGE?
• By Definition… a surge is a high amplitude, short
duration electrical fluctuation that can cause serious
damage to electrical, electronic and electro-mechanical
equipment.
What are the Causes?
•Lightning
•Utility Grid Events
•Internal Events
12
What are Your chances of being affected by a
Surge?
• Your chances are excellent!
•The average business or home typically experiences
300+ Surges per year.
•Heat created from a surge seriously degrades the life
expectancy of the components of any circuit board.
Can you afford to take the chance?
14
That solution is!!!!!!!
• In all other cases in which you may experience a
“close proximity” lightning strike or Utility grid spike
there is only one solution.

HCSP1
Fixed Camera Surge Protection
• Provides protection for power
and video conductors to fixed
cameras. While camera
installations have become
larger, CCTV equipment has
become smaller and more
sensitive to transients. Simply
put, you cannot afford the
interruption in RMR to your
video equipment users. If you
don’t have time to do it twice,
include Honeywell camera
protection on all quotes .
AFTER ALL, YOUR
COMPETITION IS !!!!
