GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The aforementioned three character abbreviations, when joined in a string serve to form an agreement type identifier, i.e. Agreement Type. As an example:

 

Agreement Identifier: STF-WER-SBR. Indicates the following:

 

STandard Full service type agreement, and having; the below options:

 

- Weekend CM coverage.

- Semi-Annual Battery plant maintenance – Regular Hours.

 

SERVICE AGREEMENT OPTIONS EXPLAINANTION

 

Option: WER: Weekend CM Coverage

With this option, the standard next business day CM response is upgraded to guarantee on site service within 4 hours following notification of need for same regardless of the date or time. This option applies to a catastrophic failure, whereas catastrophic failure is a continued loss of power, bypass or otherwise, to customer load equipment.

 

Options: OOP & TOP: Off Hours Preventive Maintenance

 

With this option performance of the Major PM visit/s may be scheduled for performance during the hours of 5:00 PM to Midnight, Monday through Friday, or 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday. Holidays are excluded.

Option: MMD: Discount for Major/Minor PM cycle

 

This option modifies the standard 2 Major PM visits per annual agreement term to 1 Major PM visit and 1 Minor PM visit. The difference between the two being that the Major PM is very comprehensive and requires the unit to be taken off-line, while the Minor PM provides cursory checks and can be accomplished with the UPS on-line. This option should only be selected when the UPS is installed in a clean, air-conditioned environment.

Option: PMD: Discount for reduced PM visits

 

This option modifies the standard 2 Major PM visits per annual agreement term to 1 Major PM only. This option should only be selected if the UPS is installed in a clean, air-conditioned environment.

 

Options: BRP: Battery Replacement Program

 

Options: BRP: provide for Battery Replacement upon failure. This program is issued for batteries that are one (1) or less in age. Eligible members receive installation free of cost for continued membership in the Battery Replacement Program. To be eligible interested company or organization must have batteries that are one (1) year or less in age. Cost free installation will occur at the end of the useful service life of the batteries. For cost free installation company or organization must be in the program for the life of the battery, five (5) years.

 

Option: PRA: Pre-Agreement Restoration Authorization

 

All Service Agreements require a pre-agreement inspection by Static Power prior to our entering into such an agreement. There are however two valid exceptions to this:

 

1.    The agreement is a consecutive renewal of a previous agreement with Static Power, and not more than 60 days have elapsed since expiration of the previous agreement.

2.    The UPS system is new and the installation start-up was performed by Static Power within the previous 60 days.

 

The pre-agreement inspection may optionally be performed during the first preventive maintenance visit, if the customer agrees in advance, to authorize whatever additional time and materials funding is necessary to correct discrepancies noted during the visit. In such cases, the Agreement Type must contain the option identifier “PRA”.

 

BATTERY PLANT MAINTENANCE OPTIONS

 

The last letter of the below described battery maintenance option signifies during what hours the maintenance may be scheduled for performance.

 

(a)     Option identifiers ending in the letter R signify that the PM may be scheduled for performance during Regular hours only.

(b)     Option identifiers ending in the letter O signify that the PM may be scheduled for performance during Off hours only.
