π§° Power Out Alert PS-110
The PS-110 Power Out Alert monitors a standard 110V electrical outlet and provides a dry-contact output when utility power is lost. The contact output can interface with compatible warning lights, audible alarms, phone dialers, and remote monitoring systems to provide notification of a power failure.
A built-in 3 to 8 minute time delay helps prevent brief power interruptions from generating unnecessary alarms.

Compliance & Risk Mitigation
β‘ Detects loss of utility power
β±οΈ Delay helps avoid nuisance alarms
π Dry contact supports external alarm devices
π¨ Enables highly visible local notification
π Supports compatible remote notification systems
π Simple outlet connection aids installation
π Routine testing confirms proper operation
The PS-110 provides a dry-contact signal for use with compatible external alarm and monitoring equipment. Verify contact ratings, wiring requirements, connected-device compatibility, and operating conditions before installation. Periodically test the complete power-failure alarm systemβincluding the PS-110 and connected notification deviceβto confirm proper operation before an actual outage occurs.
STEP 1 Disconnect AC Power
To prevent possible injury, shut off electrical power to the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the circuit fuse.
STEP 2 Mounting
Plug the PS-110 into a working 2-prong 120V electrical outlet (this outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch). Remove screw from the center of the outletβs faceplate and attach the PS-110 with the eyelet and screw.
Note: DO NOT use an extension cord to increase the distance between the electrical outlet and the sensor.
STEP 3 Connecting Power-Out Alert
Connect sensor wires to the remote device being used to receive the warning signal from the PS-110.
STEP 4 Restore power to circuit
Restore electrical power to the circuit by turning the circuit breaker back on or by replacing the fuse. Wait approximately 15 minutes for the sensor to become operational before continuing. (The time delay will vary depending on the ambient room temperature.)
STEP 5 Testing
Manually activate the sensor for testing by interrupting the electrical power to the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or by removing the fuse for 31β2 to 8 minutes. Within 31β2 to 8 minutes of the loss of power, the PS-110 will activate your remote device.
