To the Installer
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually)
by the installer and frequent testing by the user are
vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm
system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of
developing and offering a regular maintenance program
to the user as well as acquainting the user with the
proper operation and limitations of the alarm system
and its component parts. Recommendations must be
included for a specific program of frequent testing (at
least weekly) to ensure the system’s proper operation at
all times.
Turning the System over to the User
Fully explain the operation of the system to the user by
going over each of its functions, as well as the User’s
Manual supplied.
In particular, explain the operation of each zone
(entry/exit, perimeter, interior, fire, etc.). Be sure the
user understands how to operate any emergency
feature(s) programmed into the system.
