If the power goes off & the backup battery dies before the power comes back, will it send a text when power comes back on telling that it came on?

It sure will. When power is restored back to the unit after losing battery power it will let you know that power has been reestablished. Thanks for asking!

You probably should contact PumpAlarm.com as they have excellent customer service. That being said, I will give you my opinion. I would assume that even if the back-up batteries die, which they will over about 2 days (I know this), that when the power does come back on, the unit will re-activate and tell you that the power has come on at a specific time. What you lose if the back-up batteries die, is getting a message about the water level, or whatever it is you are trying to monitor, if there is a problem during the power outage. I believe that when the power comes back on, and IF there was an issue with water where it should not be (or whatever) you would then get a message about that issue.

Gee I bought it awhile ago now and it plugs into an outlet, but I checked the description on Amazon and it doesn't say there's a backup battery. There is a little red light though, so if it were to turn off, you'd know it is not working.

You can purchase a battery backup for the Web600 so it will continue to function during a power outage. However, you will not receive any notices via the Internet until the power is restored. You could use the relay output to trigger a dial out device to make a phone call but what requires an additional device. I chose the Internet capability over dial out. I have mine monitoring my oil boiler temperature as well as boiler lock out.

I can confirm that no, it would not come back on after a loss of power. You would need to manually hit the "power" button to make it turn back on.

It will only do that if it isn't fully charged. If it continues, you got a lemon. Mine beeps if the power goes off or if I use it before it recharges if I happen to leave it on for a while during a power outage.

When the power goes off, I can tell you, most assuredly, that the unit isn't charging, it is doing the opposite, it is providing power. Depending on how much load you put on it, it is supposed to provide enough battery power to shut down your sensitive electronics safely. It will beep to let you know you are using up your battery power. If it is similar to other UPS's I've had experience with, it will beep more frequently until it sounds a final long tone telling you it will have to shut down. At least that's the way our APC units worked on our workstations when we lost power. I only saw my Cyber Power kick in once, for a few second interruption, so I don't know what it looks like when run until drained.

No that I'm aware, when you Internet connection dies is because a problem with the server. The back up unit can maintain power in case of a blackout only.

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

the battery is for backup only..... in case electricity goes out. You still need to wire it.

Yes, it does. It has a battery backup (9v) to keep programmed numbers and the message stored during any power outage.

If it is plugged in to AC. Mine is not using battery backup and if the power goes off, the unit goes off.

According to the manual, when the power comes back on, the clock will read "OFF" (as if one just plugged it in) and does not restart.

If the light was on when the power went out it will come back on. It will not turn on if the light was off when the power went out.

Yes! However, if your phone power goes out, as well, I don't know the answer.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

It depends upon the number of devices that your unit is going to provide power to via its internal battery. Without that knowledge it is impossible to provide you with an answer. My unit states that it will provide approximately 30 minutes of battery backup power. During a power outage it would be supplying power via its internal battery to a notebook, a docking station, a monitor, a phone, a modem and router. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, this model does not have a battery back-up. So if you turn it off it will reset to the default mode. If you think a bright light will kill the mood imagine a bright light along with the loud announcement of: "You Are Trespassing!!!!" Scared me to death the first time our power failed. There are other similar models that do have a battery backup so that it will not reset/loose any video when the power is cut. Good luck!
