This standard establishes performance requirements and test methods for intrusion alarm control units used in protecting residential or commercial premises.
Abstract
Upon actuation of an intrusion sensing device or the detection of a trouble condition, the control unit may emit a local audible alarm, transmit an alarm signal to a police department, or transmit an alarm signal to a central station. Performance characteristics addressed are those that affect the reliability of the device, particularly those that affect false alarm susceptibility and tamper resistance. Four references are provided in the appendix.
