     ALARM MAINTENANCE

Service is essential for maintaining your system, and should be carried out each year. For example the re chargeable batteries in both the control box and the bell box do have a limited life. These should be changed every three years. They should also be checked every year to ensure the charge circuits are working and that the batteries are functioning correctly.

Batteries are fitted in both the control panel and bell box. These are rechargeable and both the battery condition and charge circuits should be checked annually. If not the alarm may not work in power cut conditions (just when a burglar may call). The batteries used are a special standby type which deteriorate over time. It is recommended that they be changed every three years.

Voltages and resistance measurements should be taken for each detector annually, this provides information to detect early deterioration of the system.

Walk testing the system ensures every detector is working correctly and that it has not been moved, or replaced incorrectly say during decorating or home improvements. It has been known for detectors to be painted or wall papered over rendering them useless.

Optional Mains testing can be carried out ensure your continued safety, when fitted the mains spur is installed to IEE regulations and earth loop impedances have to meet certain criteria. If for any reason this alters there could be a risk of electric shock. Annually checking this ensures your continued safety.

Advice on upgrading your system after building alterations, or advice on the latest security developments can be given by our engineers during these visits.

                                                            

Alarm System Design

This is where you can start to think about designing your system.

Before you rush in and start buying goods it is wise to consider the following.
  • Security is always a compromise between cost, security level, and ease of use. There is an alarm system which will balance the three variables to suit your individual requirements.

     

  • Look carefully at your property (from an intruders point of view if you can think of a way to break in) and identify the weak points such as;
    • Windows or doors which are not overlooked by neighbouring properties, or which at night are poorly lit, or where quick easy entrance could be made.
    • Consider potential access through first floor windows which are sited above single storey roofs e.g garages, outhouses.

      The back kitchen door sometimes fitted with a plywood panel.

       

  • Consider how you are going to use the alarm system.

     

    • If you intend to use the alarm only when the property is empty, then the wiring can be made simpler.
    • Or you may want to use all the system when the property is empty and just the ground floor at night.
    • Or you may want to be able to control every individual detector in your system.
    • We can design a system to suit you.
