The compressor for the cold heat is 19.5 A at 460 VAC.  It's doubtful
that you will put that on a UPS.  In the event of power loss, the target
will warm up.  The recovery time will depend on how warm things get, but
we expect a cool-down time from room temperature of approximately 8
hours.  Being able to monitor the controls (temperature and pressure)
will be convenient, although not absolutely necessary.  The system is
designed so that the H2 gas will passively expand back into the storage
tank without the need to open any electrical or pneumatic valves.

The electronics for monitoring the system (besides the PLC crate) will
be minimal:
-- Temperature controller:

Pressure monitor:  We have been using strain gauge readout/controllers
built by Cuevas' group.  I don't know the power usage, but it's not
high.  Commercial units abound.

High Vacuum gauge for the scattering chamber:

If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
Hope this  helps.
Chris
