> > Day: Friday
> > Time: 12:01 AM - 6:30 AM
> > System: Emergency Power (emergency lighting, elevators, animal
> care area, HVAC equipment, exhaust fans, outlets in labs.
> > Duration: 6 1/2 hours (outages - one at around 12:01 AM and

> > There will be another identical momentary shutdown at the end
> of the
> > test as the ATS transfers back to Normal power.
> > The effects to the Animal care Facility in the sub-basement
> will be
> > more lengthy as HVAC equipment cycles through programs that
> keep it
> > off longer.
> > There are many labs throughout the building with emergency
> outlets
> > that will have the momentary outages described above.
>
> Facilities will provide adequate manpower to monitor alarms and
> respond to any problems that may arise.
