Control Statement

Provide an alternate power supply for the system that is activated [Assignment: manually, automatically] and that is:

Self-contained;
Not reliant on external power generation; and
Capable of maintaining [Assignment: minimally required operational capability, full operational capability] in the event of an extended loss of the primary power source.
