Description
Mobeye PowerGuard CM4100 Power Failure Detector
The Mobeye PowerGuard CM4100 serves as a power-outage monitor and fault detector with versatile applications. It is easy to understand, reliable, and compact. The power source is monitored simply by plugging the power adapter into a power outlet. Additional sensors and contacts can be connected to the alarm inputs. The built-in 4G communication module allows you to monitor electrical power failures directly from your phone.
In the event of an alarm, the Mobeye CM4100 sends notifications via the free Mobeye Messages App (available for both iOS and Android), telephone calls with voice message, text messages and/or emails. Your contact persons can be added, with different options for the method of receiving alarms. Additionally, it is possible to report alarms to a control room or an alarm receiving centre (ARC).
The Mobeye PowerGuard monitors the mains power or a 12-24V DC power source. In the event of an outage, it utilises the batteries to send the notifications and continuously monitor the inputs. After power is restored, the contacts receive a recovery notification.
The Mobeye PowerGuard is available in three versions: with an EU power plug (Type C), UK power plug (Type G) or USA/Canada power plug (Type A).
Installation is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few easy steps. You can either place the PowerGuard unit freestanding or use the mounting holes to hang it on a wall.

Mobeye PowerGuard, a powerful monitoring device
The Mobeye CM4100 offers various setting options, including automatic switch-on and switch-off times, alarm texts for each input, alarm delay settings, recovery messages, repeat notifications, and test messages. Batteries and a mains adapter (specific to your country) are included.
What sets the Mobeye PowerGuard apart is its versatility, offering two additional inputs that allow you to connect various devices or external sensors. This feature enables you to monitor not only power failures but also the operation of machinery and the collection of multiple data points through sensors, providing comprehensive security and oversight.
How the Mobeye CM4100 Works
The Mobeye CM4100 serves as a remote power outage alarm, continuously monitoring the availability of external power and the status of connected fault contacts. The alarm dialler promptly sends notifications whenever there is a change in status, ensuring that you are always well-informed.
- Begin by plugging the mains adapter into a wall socket, and, if desired, connect a potential-free sensor to one of the inputs.
- The PowerGuard recognises power failure and an input alarm.
- In the event of an alarm, the PowerGuard promptly sends alarm messages to the designated contacts. When it comes to push messages, you have the option to choose between an escalation plan or a group message. With the escalation plan, the recipient has the option to confirm the push message, preventing other contacts from receiving the same message. If none of the recipients confirm the push message, a phone call is initiated. There is no limit to the number of contacts you can add. The Mobeye Portal provides you with valuable insight into the status and history of the system.
Typical applications for the Mobeye PowerGuard CM4100
The Mobeye PowerGuard CM4100 is specifically designed to alert you in the event of a power outage. Various factors can lead to power failures. In situations where power availability is critical, receiving a power failure alarm can help you avoid significant issues. While it’s nearly impossible to list all potential applications in the field, consider the impact of an unexpected loss of power in your own circumstances.
Typical applications are monitoring devices, such as
- air conditioners
- fridges
- freezers
- heaters
- ICT servers
- water pumps
Use Case Examples
- Airports, industries, ICT companies, and similar organisations use the Mobeye power-failure alarm system to receive immediate notifications of critical power outages.
- Security professionals rely on it because copper theft often begins with shutting down the mains power.
- Banks deploy it to ensure they are alerted the moment their ATM systems fail.
- Countless other users depend on it wherever the availability of mains power is essential.
Even when power failure itself is not the main concern, the Mobeye PowerGuard remains a versatile monitoring device. It includes two alarm inputs that can be configured as either normally open or normally closed, allowing a wide range of external devices to be connected and supervised. In situations where power monitoring is not required, the Mobeye CM-Guard may also be used. The PowerGuard, however, offers the additional advantage of including the mains adapter.
