Battery Backup Units (BBU)

Battery back-up systems are available in two styles:

Unmaintained:
Unmaintained battery cabinets are normally placed in a plant room or ‘dirty corridor’ which provides easy access. On the cabinets themselves will have a light to indicate Fault, Batteries in use and Batteries Discharged. A light is also feasible on the surgeon’s panel to indicate ‘batteries in use’.

Key Features:

• Sealed Batteries - to increase reliability
• Separate to theatre lights
• Proven top quality components used
• 3 hours of emergency power
• Volt and Amp indicators are installed to show the battery voltage and charging current
• Fault lights to indicate the condition of the cabinet
• 'Batteries in use' indicator on surgeons panel*

Maintained:

Maintained battery cabinets are normally placed in a plant room or 'dirty corridor' which provide easy access. On the cabinets themselves will have lights to indicate Fault, Batteries in use and batteries discharged. A light is also feasible on the surgeons panel to indicate 'batteries in use'.

Maintenance reduced as all electrical components (including theatre light power supply / electrical cards) are placed within the cabinet thus having all components in one place. This reduces down time and the need to disturb a working theatre environment.

Key Features:

• Sealed Batteries - to increase reliability
• Separate to theatre lights
• Proven top quality components used
• 3 hours of emergency power
• Volt and Amp indicators are installed to show the battery voltage and charging current
• Fault lights to indicate the condition of the cabinet
• 'Batteries in use' indicator on surgeons panel
• All electrical supply and theatre light cards are kept in one place.
• Reduced down time of the theatre

Additional Options

• Inverter - for distances greater than 10 meters (up to 100 metres max)
• This is dependent on if there is already a cable installed from the surgeon’s panel to the battery backup. If no cable is present, we are able to provide this option at an extra cost.
