Base Station (Gen 3) Overview and Installation Guide | SimpliSafe Support Home The Base Station is the brains of your system. It sends alarm signals to the monitoring center* with built-in cellular and Wi-Fi connections, a battery backup that lasts up to 24 hours, and a 100 dB siren.
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.
Mounting the Battery: Depending on the size and type of your backup system, the battery may need to be mounted to a wall or placed on the floor. Some systems come with wall mounts or brackets, while others may just sit on a flat surface. Wiring the Battery: The next step is to wire the battery to your electrical panel.
A home battery backup system is essentially a large rechargeable battery that stores electricity. This power can then be used to keep essential devices running when the main power grid goes down. It works by storing excess power when electricity is abundant, such as during the day with solar panels, and using it during outages or peak demand times.
