PowerMonitorPlatformServiceQnx (PowerMonitorService) is used to monitor the primary power status and backup battery level in many JACE controllers. A few configuration parameters allow changing the shutdown delay time, as well as alarm source configuration for both types of alarms (low battery level, primary power lost).

This PowerMonitorService is found under the PlatformServices container in a station running on many JACE controllers except for those models that are capable and/or enabled for “dual battery” support. Typically, support is enabled and configured at JACE commissioning time. For related details, see “JACE power monitoring configuration” in the latest applicable Install and Startup Guide.
