REMOTE MONITORING

Remote monitoring can be effected by three principal methods.

i) Digital communicator, which would normally be connected to an ex-directory, outgoing calls only telephone line for low to medium risk installations.

ii) Red Care, which again uses telephone lines but can be connected to any existing line and sends a pulsed line monitoring signal over the top of the usual conversation signal, this would be for medium to high risk installations.

iii) Direct line central station connections are effected by the use of a dedicated direct line from the installation to the Central Station and would be used for high risk installations only.

All communications are transmitted to the Advance Central Monitoring Station, which will respond to signal activation 24 hours a day 365 days per year. Typical monitoring applications are as follows.

1 Fire alarm and detection

2 Panic alarm

3 Intruder alarm

4 Air conditioning failure

5 Mains voltage failure

6 Water detection

7 Heating failure

8 Temperature alarm

On receipt of an activated signal all the relevant information will be displayed on a VDU screen i.e.:

i) Type of alarm

ii) Action

iii) Keyholders number

iv) Local police and fire brigade
