Can a Battery Powered Generator Connect to an Existing Alarm System?
Building a strong and complete system of alarms and monitors can be very tricky for both facilities managers and IT teams. Because of this, many places use monitoring systems managed by big companies like ADT or Vivint.
To make things easy, every Medi-Products generator works with the security and remote monitoring systems set up by these big companies.
How Does a Rechargeable Generator Wire into an Existing Alarm?
You can add a unique feature to your system, including prewired dry contacts with switches.
To connect your battery backup unit to your alarm system, you’ll need to run some wires from the central alarm hub. But don’t worry—any IT team can handle this easily.
For more information, we suggest having your IT team contact Medi Products’ technical support. They can help because every building’s system is different, and they will know what you need.

Once everything is set up, everyone who gets alerts from the alarm system will be notified when:
- The power goes out or comes back on—so if there’s a power outage or if power is restored.
- The battery backup generator starts providing power to the appliances or if the batteries run out of power and stop supplying it.
This way, important people will know what’s happening and can make the right decisions during emergencies.
For those without a pre-existing alarm system, Medi-Products also offers a standalone, fully integrated power outage alert system is also an option.
