Like a car, your
security system
requires regular maintenance. Over time, sensors and smoke detectors collect dust and cob webs, which can clog your sensors, reducing their sensitivity and ability to detect motion, heat or smoke. Wires connected to security devices can become damaged or work themselves loose. Back-up batteries run down and lose their ability to hold a charge.
Standards Australia, the peak standards organisation in Australia, recommends that security systems be professionally serviced every 6 months (AS2201) for businesses & every 12 months for residential. Your home insurance policy may require your home security system comply with the Australian Standard in order to qualify for a discount or premium reduction.
Our technician can carry out maintenance checks to ensure that your security system remains in optimal working order.
A maintenance check typically involves:
Testing of your alarm panel for communications to the monitoring centre. Including sirens, tampers and strobe lights.
Inspecting, testing and cleaning of sensors
Checking power supply and back up battery
Verifying that no sensors have been compromised by building alterations, paint, partitions, furniture and other obstacles
Testing and replacing batteries in remotes and wireless sensors
Inspecting visible wiring and conduits
Testing of keypads and verifying codes
