may not be applicable to certain markets due to local regulations (e.g.
arm/disarm audible notications).
First select the type of security system the customer requires and then
discuss any specic requirements the customer may have (e.g. LED
position, automatic re-arming etc.).
5. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Never install an alarm to a machine you have not checked out
electrically and heard running.
Always carry out a full visual inspection of the machine prior to
installation, particularly if the machine is second hand or has been
brought in for an alarm to be installed. Any faults or damage
discovered should be reported to the owner or their agent prior to
carrying out the installation of the system.
The battery for the machine should be checked for full charge prior
to installation. If it is found to be low it is advisable to place it on
charge. The Datatool Smart Charger battery conditioner will bring
the battery up to full charge safely in the minimum time. Should the
battery be in a poor state, it is strongly advised the customer is
informed the battery needs replacement as the alarm, although
only drawing around 4mA, will increase the loading on the battery.
6. STRIPPING THE MACHINE
Always take extreme care when removing and storing panels from
the machine to ensure they do not get damaged.
Always note the size, type and position of any xing you remove. It is
very easy to forget what goes where.
Should a panel prove difcult to remove, take a further look to
ensure the strip sequence is correct and that all xing devices have
been removed (it’s very easy to miss that little hidden clip).
7. PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
The alarm components should be located to ensure the maximum
time is required for the thief to access the system. Other factors such
as the storage of customer’s personal belongings and other
equipment such as intercoms, chain oilers, etc. should also be
considered.
