Integrated Surge Protection Monitoring for Smarter Facility Management

When you install PQ Protection Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), you’re ensuring reliable protection for your facility’s critical electrical infrastructure—safeguarding everything from main and branch panels to chillers, emergency systems, medical panels, and sensitive manufacturing equipment.

To take this protection a step further, PQ Protection offers an Advanced Monitoring Contacts (AMC) option—designed to seamlessly integrate with your Building Automation System (BAS) or Building Management System (BMS).

In today’s high-performance buildings—whether it's a hospital, data center, university, or industrial facility—facility managers rely on BAS/BMS platforms like Trane Technologies, Schneider Electric, mc² Inc., CSSI/Alerton, KMC Controls, and others to oversee system performance, improve uptime, and reduce maintenance time. The AMC feature enhances this capability by providing pre-wired remote signaling contacts directly from each SPD, giving your BAS/BMS real-time visibility into the operational status of your surge protection.

With AMC, any change in SPD status—such as a loss of protection or a fault condition—can be communicated instantly through your centralized system. This eliminates the need for manual inspection at each SPD location, streamlining maintenance and ensuring issues are caught early.

AMC is included as a standard feature on many of our products, and for models where it’s not, it can be added as an optional feature. This ensures that no matter your application or system architecture, you have the ability to integrate surge protection monitoring into your facility’s overall control strategy.

In short, PQ Protection’s AMC option empowers smarter facility monitoring, strengthens surge protection oversight, and supports the proactive maintenance strategies that modern facility teams depend on.

Monitor smarter, protect harder. Let PQ Protection help you stay ahead.
