EFS | Electronic Fail Safe
Battery Backup for ME/MX Series Units
Max-Electric’s EFS Series battery backup systems provide fast-acting, easy to install fail-safe power solutions for our ME & MX Series electric actuator lines. These stand-alone reserve power sources provide the required energy to drive valves or dampers to either a fully open or fully closed position, upon loss of mains power. The enclosure is mounted separately from the actuator to allow for convenient access for operation, monitoring status, battery servicing, and ease of maintenance. Fail direction is field-selectable on the control panel. These EFS units are designed to work with our full range of Max-Electric ME & MX series actuators.
