Generator services

Generator remote monitoring

Remote monitoring gives authorised users access to available generator status, alarms and operating information without attending the site. EMPS assesses the controller, communications and alert requirements before recommending a monitoring arrangement.

Controller and data compatibility

Available information depends on the controller and fitted sensors. Some installations provide detailed operating measurements; others expose only basic status and alarm signals. Existing interfaces and any additional hardware must be checked before the monitoring functions are specified.

Useful status and alarm notifications

Monitoring may include running status, mains availability, battery voltage, engine hours and controller alarms where these signals are available. Alert recipients and escalation responsibilities should be agreed so that each notification has a clear response.

Connectivity and access

Reliable communications, power to the monitoring equipment and appropriate user permissions are required. Site network rules and cybersecurity requirements must be respected. Remote control is a separate function and is not automatically included with monitoring.

Monitoring supports maintenance

Alarms and running-hour information can help schedule maintenance and identify problems earlier. Monitoring does not replace physical inspections or prove that the generator will perform correctly under load.

What to expect

Information for a monitoring enquiry

The checks and work required depend on the generator model, its condition and the installation. We agree the work with you before proceeding.

  • Generator and controller make and model
  • Required measurements and alarm notifications
  • Available site network or mobile connectivity
  • Users who need access and alerts
  • Existing communications equipment
  • Maintenance arrangements and response responsibilities

Service questions

Frequently asked questions

Can monitoring be added to an existing generator?

Often it can, but compatibility depends on the controller, available signals and communications. Equipment details are needed before the required hardware and functions can be confirmed.

Does remote monitoring repair faults automatically?

No. Monitoring reports information. Diagnosis and corrective work still require an appropriate response, and some faults need an on-site inspection.

Can I start the generator remotely?

Remote starting is not automatically included. It requires compatible controls, suitable safety measures and explicit agreement on who may operate the equipment.
