Installation and hardware | Base Help Center
This article explains how you can simulate a power outage and test your Base battery system once your battery is installed.
You can also use tripods, light stands, or cargo poles when mounting the base stations, or even place it on stable book cases. Just avoid using unstable mounting solutions or surfaces that are prone to vibration. Adjust the base stations so that the front panels are facing toward the center of the play area.
When a sensor on your system is triggered, it sends a signal to the Base Station, which sounds the loud, 100 dB siren and notifies you immediately. If the Base Station is unplugged or the power goes out, the backup battery keeps you covered for up to 24 hours.
