@Ditto, thank you.

Seams I misunderstood the Alarm - Just New setting, thinking it would send each time a new alarm was triggered even if one was already locked in. I'll change it to send a reoccurring alert in case another alarm were to come in.

@Vinny@GHLUSA Can you help me understand how this works beyond what the original post states? I'm a bit confused.

So I connect this on the back of the P4 and the plug to a regular wall outlet? So if I lost power, wouldn't the P4 just shut down? Or am I supported to plug this into a battery backup?

You will have to provide battery backed up power to the Profilux, and any device downstream from it, such as dosers, PB's etc.
However this additional power adapter you will plug into a regular, non-battery backed up outlet.

When the Profilux detects that this additional power adapter is no longer providing power to the monitoring port, it will enter your configured power out program.

@Bigzman - There is not a alert token specific to power alert, it will be any alert generated by the controller not just power outages.

I was wondering ..Doesn't the APC have complementary-Relay contacts when switched to stand by power? Thats a input I would prefer to monitor. Could I source dc from controller and loop threw contacts into monitoring input?

this popped up looking for the website:p
