Things to Do to Prevent False Alarms
Please do your part to prevent false alarms. This ensures that authorities will take
your emergency seriously.
• Familiarize yourself with the control unit. Carefully read and review your operator’s manual or
user guide. If there is anything you do not understand, contact your Security Representative
/
Installer to explain it further.
• Enter and leave only through predefined Entry/Exit Routes.
• Do not turn the protection on with people on the premises; unless, you select STAY to only turn
the perimeter protection on.
• Check the protected area to make sure all doors are closed and no one is left inside before
turning on the protection.
• Always have your system number and pass number ready when calling the monitoring station.
• Keep your system number and pass number confidential.
• Notify the monitoring station if you did not turn the protection off before the “entry time”
countdown expires.
• Notify the monitoring station immediately if someone accidentally activates a panic button or
emergency key.
• Notify the monitoring station immediately if you have accidentally caused a false alarm.
• Notify the monitoring station before performing a live test. E.g. pushing emergency keys or
causing detection devices to alarm with protection turned on.
• Request service from your Security Representative / Installer in the event of an unexplained
alarm or any system problems.
• Explain the system’s operation in detail to any new user.
• Do not leave pets on protected premises when the protection is fully ON, unless the system was
planned for it.
• Quickly repair any damaged doors or windows that have excessive play or do not lock.
• Do not place space heaters, moving objects or leave windows open in the path of motion
detectors when protection is on.
