Technical Reliability of the Alarm System

The alarm system is built of the devices whose reliability is vital in effectiveness of

offered protection. The elements of the alarm system are subject to various outside

influences, for example weather conditions (outside signaling devices), lightning

(overhead telephone lines, power lines, outside signaling devices), mechanical damage

(keypads, detectors). Only permanent control of the alarm system operation ensures

keeping high level of burglary and fire protection.

The control panel is equipped with a number of safeguards and auto diagnostic

functions testing the reliability of the system. The control panel signals trouble detection

by switching the

[TROUBLE] LED on the keypad on. The signal should be

immediately taken care of - if necessary, the installer should be consulted.

It is necessary to periodically test the reliability of the alarm system - check every single

detector's ability to signal zone violation by opening the protected windows, doors etc. It

is also necessary to check signaling devices and telephone voice messaging system.

The installer provides detailed instructions on how the system should be checked. It is

recommended that the installer carry out periodic maintenance of the alarm system by

the user order.

In his best interest, the user should plan beforehand appropriate procedures in case the

control panel signals any alarm conditions. It is important that he should be able to

verify the alarm, determine its source on the basis of keypad information, and take an

adequate action, e.g., to organize evacuation.

Alarm System Operating Costs

The main task of the control panel is signaling and efficient reporting of alarm situations

and, in the case of the monitoring function, keeping the monitoring station informed

about the protected facility status. Performance of these functions is to a large extent

based on the use of a telephone line, which entails generating certain costs. Generally,

the level of costs incurred by the alarm system owner depends on the amount of

information the control panel has to transfer to the monitoring station. A failure of the

telephone links, as well as incorrect programming of the control panel, may to a large

degree increase these costs. Such a situation is usually related to an excessive number

of connections made.

The installer can adjust functioning of the alarm system to the specific conditions and

kind of the protected site, however it is the user who should decide if his or her priority is

transferring information at any price, or, if some technical problems occur, the control

panel is allowed to skip some events, the reception of which has not been confirmed by

the monitoring station.

CA-10 Control Panel

The CA-10 control panel is a modern, microprocessor-based equipment designed for

burglary and assault signaling systems. The CA-10 panel controls the alarm system,

responds to information coming from the system detectors about an intrusion into the

protected facility, and provides signaling and notification about the event. The control

panel can be operated by means of LED or LCD type keypads.

Basic functions of CA-10:

 signaling burglary, panic and fire alarms,

 telephone messaging about the alarms with voice or pager messages,
