Energery Management System has two meansing.. One is the Progressive Industries EMS units, which have been covered above.. The only comment I will make is the delay control, 15 seconds by default, but you can make it 136.... Make it 136
IF you're using A/C, otherwise a 15" delay is much more convenient to deal with and it's plenty of time for the EMS to analyze the incoming source voltage for any potential errors. Being able to select either is the reason I chose a Progressive hard wire model with this feature as the portable version is fixed at 136". However, having to open the box to remove the delay jumper is a PITA so I removed the jumper and wired an SPST switch across the jumper contacts so I can select a 15" or 136" delay simply by throwing the switch.
