Alerting
What happens if the power fails?
Standard package: If the Mag-Guard device loses connection to the server, you will receive an email after 15 minutes stating "Device not responding — possible power outage".

Advanced package and above: Mag-Guard has a built-in UPS. In the event of a power failure, you will immediately receive an SMS indicating that Mag-Guard is running on battery — and you can also see this in your dashboard.
How quickly does the alarm SMS arrive?
In the event of a cooling failure, you will receive the SMS within 60 seconds of the alarm being detected. This gives you enough time to take action promptly.
What does "All Clear" mean?
When an alarm is reset — meaning the cooling is functioning normally again — you will receive an all-clear via SMS and email after 2 minutes. The delay prevents unnecessary notifications during brief fluctuations.
