Jim, our generator spins up immediately upon an outage and usually switches
over automatically after about a minute. The ATS (automated transfer
switch) waits for pretty constant/clean power before cutting over. After
utility is restored, we wait about 5 minutes to return to utility power to
minimize the risk of the power going up and down. Both our generators are
natural gas. One runs the data center thru the UPS and the other one powers
3 AC systems. Works like a champ. Our UPS is rated about 45 minutes with
the current load.

What's your time of outage till generator on?
One site (in hurricane territory) just put in generator w/underground
natural gas.
They recommended 10-15 minutes outage before generator kicks in.

Thank you. Read it all.

For all interested - The company is putting in a monster UPS system
hooked in line with a generator. Supposedly, when this is installed, we
won't be using any other UPS at all, and the UPS itself will only be
used until the generator auto-starts.

Thanks for all the information. It was a good learning experience...

Is there any way to get notified when the power REALLY goes down?

You'll have to write your own power handling program. See this
Infocenter link

The idea is to do somethink like a DLYJOB after the first message, then
once you wake up, check to see if the 'power restored' message has been
sent. If not, send your own message to whomever needs an alert.
