National Industrial Security Monitoring Station Evaluation Listing Evaluation During the UL Listing evaluation we will examine your the monitoring facility, signal handling, means of record keeping, and investigation procedures for compliance with the requirements of UL2050, National Industrial Security Systems. With respect to signal handling, an important part of the UL evaluation is to determine if the personnel responsible for monitoring can perform in accordance with UL2050. To evaluate this capability, we will conduct a service test by creating signals that are sent to the monitoring facility. These tests will be conducted from 5 alarmed locations. Records of signals received from these systems will then be reviewed against the requirements of UL 2050. It is important to select sample systems and start the process of compiling records as early as possible so that there is an adequate sample at the time of our evaluation. Standards UL2050 is available for purchase directly from UL. Please call or email to one of the following UL staff members.

If a receiver cannot tolerate a 30 second loss of power or if an automation system is used, then 15 minutes of battery power is required in addition to the two generators. 2. The specific details for each external power supply must be captured on following pages. External power supplies may be chargers and batteries, a UPS, or generators. Secondary power supplies that are internal to a receiver need only to be examined to determine they provide adequate battery capacity based on the supply configuration indicated above. Describe how the Secondary Power Supply is configured. If batteries are used as part of the secondary power supply, note if the charging source in within the receivers or external to them. Also explain what each source (Battery charger, UPS or generator) is supplying.
