INSTALL SECURITY SYSTEMS

A security system is a hardware system that prevents unauthorized intrusion into a premises, and reports such
attempts. Electronic security systems are electronic equipment which can perform security operations
such as surveillance, access control, alarm sound genera◻on or intrusion control for an area.

Terms used with security system

Security camera: Smart security cameras hook up to Wi-Fi, enabling us to livestream footage of our system
remotely and receive notifications when our cameras detect movement, people, or packages.
Motion sensor: Motion sensors should be placed in a main entryway or hallway on the ground floor of a
home so that they can detect motion and alert us when our system is armed.
Entry sensor: Also known as contact sensors, entry sensors have two parts: one that goes on the window or
door and another that goes on the frame.
Glass break sensor: Sometimes, instead of opening windows the old-fashioned way, intruders will simply
break them open to avoid setting off the entry sensors.
Siren: Sirens exist in home security systems both on their own and as part of other devices, such as the base
station.
Keypad: To arm or disarm, security systems commonly require a code, which we enter on a keypad that’s
mounted to the wall or placed on a flat surface.
Key fob: Key fobs allow us to disarm or arm our security system without having to use a keypad.
Panic button: If something goes wrong, a panic button is an easy and fast way to alert emergency services, be
it the police, hospital, or even the fire department. Like key fobs, panic buttons aren’t installed anywhere in
particular, but we always have one around in case of an emergency.
Base station: Base stations sync all of the connected devices with our mobile application so we can receive
those notifications we mentioned earlier.
Yard sign and/ or window stickers: Many security systems also give out yard signs or window stickers that
allow us to advertise that we have a security system.
Smoke and CO detectors: With this simple tool, we are alerted if the air in our home becomes unsafe to
breathe
VSS: System consisting of camera equipment, storage, monitoring and associated equipment for
transmission and controlling purposes.
Security company: An organisation that provides a service for the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance or
monitoring of VSS.
Surveillance: Observation or inspection of persons or premises for security purposes

Functions of a Security System

 To Deter: Discouraging criminals from targeting your property because there’s a higher chance they’ll
be caught.
 To Alert: Letting you, or the security professionals looking after your property, know that a potential incident is
taking place. Depending on the type of security system, you can also be made aware of exactly where on your
property the event is taking place.
 To document: Recording video, or picture, footage of an event, such as a burglary, so you can pass it on to
authorities in hope of catching the criminals responsible.

Importance of security systems

i) Secures the area from unauthorised access
ii) Has quick response and ac◻on system
iii) Records data for future reference
iv) Decreases the risk to human
life v Ensures accuracy and
efficiency
TYPES OF SECURITY SYSTEMS(CLASSIFICATION)
1. Intrusion detection (Alarm systems)
An intrusion detection system will sound an alarm in the event of any incident on the your premises. These
alarms are armed with motion detectors, door and window sensors.
2. Monitored Alarm
A monitored alarm is different compared your traditional security alarm. It has an assigned personnel who gets
in touch with you when the alarm goes off to identify if it was a mistake or there is a genuine security breach. If
the genuine security breach is identified by the personnel, the local authorities are informed immediately.
3. Smoke( fire detection) Alarm
The alarm consists of smoke detectors that are located throughout the household. When these detectors come in
contact with heat or smoke, they raise the alarm. You could also opt for the one with an indoor sprinkler system
to heighten your safety. It also includes Gas Leak Detection systems used to detect leakage of any kind of gas or a
specific gas in a facility environment.
4. CCTV ( Video Surveillance)Cameras AND Video Door Phones
A CCTV camera is a good method to capture the face of an intruder. It will help the local authorities to identify
the culprit later. Also, you can keep a check on anyone who has constantly been eyeing your home. It could be
a potential burglar. The fascinating quality of CCTV cameras is that you can keep an eye on your house even
when you are not around as they can be accessed remotely.
5. Access Control system
This restricts who can enter your property and when they can do so. For example, you may only allow
employees to enter during business hours. Access control systems often use electronic key cards or fingerprint
scanners. A physical key can be duplicated, and might require changing locks on a regular basis for added
security. However, electronic access controls such as fobs, key cards, or biometrics can’t be duplicated and
can provide an additional barrier to unwanted entry. Others may include electric fence.
6. Scanner Systems
Scanner systems are automated systems which check the identity of any individual by checking a unique pa◻ern and
comparing it with the records. These include card scanner, finger print scanner and so on. These are more reliable as
they are accurate and can be used at a greater level for a large number of users.

security system design

Security system design is the process of developing a layout or framework for a security system to be installed
in a building. A good design includes security technology — such as access control systems, surveillance
cameras, sensors, and alarms — that integrate with one another.

Importance of security system design

Security system design is important because it keeps your building’s security technology and safety protocols
organized and effective. A poorly designed security system could result in residents having to input their access
code on two different devices just to gain entry to their apartment. Alternatively, in a building with a good
security design, they would only have to input their PIN code once to access the property

Problems of a poorly designed security systems

I. It’s difficult for building staff to add users or update tenant information in the system.
II. Tedious or constant maintenance.
III. Security weaknesses, otherwise known as blind spots.
IV. Accessing and navigating the building is cumbersome or difficult.
V. Dated technology slows things down or creates hiccups.
Security system design features to include in your building
Security system design features often include various pieces of technology that cohesively fit together to benefit
your building. A well-designed security system should include:
1. Video surveillance systems
2. Access control
3. Alarm systems
4. Intercom systems
5. Computer system

1. Video surveillance systems

Video surveillance systems typically consist of several cameras strategically placed around and within a
building. Surveillance cameras are proven to deter crime. But when they can’t be a deterrent, they’re still useful
for police reports and insurance claims.

2. Access control
Access control is crucial to maintaining security at any property. It’s a broad term that refers to the process of
controlling who can and can’t access a building, room, or space.
There are several kinds of access control technology, including but not limited to keypad entry systems, door
locks, and key fob readers.

3. Alarm systems
Alarm systems can be installed at doors and windows (such as emergency-only exits) that emit a loud noise and
alert building staff to the location.

4. Intercom systems
Intercom systems provide a way for visitors to request access to the building — and for tenants to remotely
grant them access. Additionally, intercom systems allow residents to communicate with visitors and delivery
personnel at the front entrance to confirm who’s there.
When designing your security system, opt for the latest in intercom technology, such as smartphone-based
video intercom systems. This way, residents can visually confirm who’s requesting access via video call, which
enhances security
5. Computer systems
Modern security design should be controlled and organized by computer systems.
All of your security technology should be accessible from mobile apps that building staff can monitor, update,
and control remotely. Efficient computer systems will also allow you to update, add, and delete user
information for residents in your building.

Factors to consider while selecting a security system

As you’re selecting a home security system, you should consider what will offer the best protection for your
family. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Affordability/Budget: You need a system that will keep your premises safe while staying within your
budget. With a custom security system, you can choose which options will protect your living space and
which options you can skip.
2. Ease of installation: If you choose a wireless option, your home security system will be easy to install.
You could even order the technology and install the devices yourself.
3. Wireless or Wired
There is a growing trend for wireless security devices among people as these can be installed without
professional help, and are more aesthetically pleasing since there are no wires running up the walls or around
them.
Wired solutions are preferable if your home or office is under construction since all the wires and drilling can
be done in tandem with the construction which will give you the same aesthetics as wireless solutions.
4. Monitored or Unmonitored
Installing a security system is half the battle. Next comes monitoring.
A monitored plan will cost you a monthly fee but it comes with great protection plans.
In emergency situations, monitored systems can notify your alarm company which will then notify the police or
the fire department.
Unmonitored systems won’t cost you a monthly plan and will, therefore, be cheaper but the onus of monitoring
falls on your shoulders.
5. Mobile App Control
Like many other people, are expected to sell your mobile to acquire a high tech security device.
Thanks to the magic of the internet of things devices (IoT), your entire security system can today be operated
and controlled from a single app on your smartphone or tablet, all wirelessly.
This is another important factor and feature that you should definitely want to have as it gives you a lot of
flexibility.
Usually, there are control panels set up in multiple locations that let you access the system but these days that
can and should be done through mobile apps.
6. Remote/Cloud Access
Having access to your security system from anywhere in the world is one of the most important features that
you will need. We are not always present at our homes or offices and therefore remote or cloud access to
surveillance becomes a must.
Cloud backup of security data can also come in handy in case of emergencies. This allows you to quickly
check up on everything and have peace of mind.
7. Surveillance Systems
Installing a surveillance system helps you keep an eye on things whenever you want and wherever you want if
you have remote access.
You can improve surveillance through cameras which is the preferred method of surveillance and the most
effective too. Cameras can be installed in your backyard or areas where you keep your valuables or are
accessed by maids, staff or other service people.
8. Environmental Factors
Burglars and other intruders are not the only concern when it comes to security. Your security system should
also be able to warn you about environmental factors such as moisture, smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, high
temperatures, and so on. There are sensors for each of these factors that you should integrate into your system.
9. Power Backup
A security system is useless if it goes offline due to power outage. Therefore proper power backup is necessary
to keep things running even if the power goes out, These days, most security devices come with rechargeable
batteries which keep things running for a long time.

What is Security Testing?

Security testing is a process intended to reveal flaws in the security mechanisms of an information system that
protect data and maintain functionality as intended.
COMPONENTS OF A SECURITY SYSTEM
A security system consists of different components, including motion sensors, indoor and outdoor cameras,
glass break detectors, door and window sensors, yard signs and window stickers, smoke detectors, and carbon
monoxide detectors, Monitor, Cable, Video Recorders, and Data Storage.

SENSORS
A sensor is a device that detects the change in the environment and responds to some output on the other
system. A sensor converts a physical phenomenon into a measurable analog voltage (or sometimes a digital
signal) converted into a human-readable display or transmitted for reading or further processing. The input can
be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure etc. The sensors used for security applications are known as security
sensors.
A device which converts a physical quantity into the proportional electrical signal is called a transducer.
The electrical signal produced may be a voltage, current or frequency. A transducer uses many effects to
produce such conversion. A transducer is also called pick up. The transduction element transforms the output of the
sensor to an electrical output, as shown

A transducer will have basically two main components. They are

1. Sensing Element
The physical quantity or its rate of change is sensed and responded to by this part of the transistor.
2. Transduction Element
The output of the sensing element is passed on to the transduction element. This element is responsible
for converting the non-electrical signal into its proportional electrical signal.

Some sensors used in security systems include

1. Door and window contacts/sensors (Intrusion Sensors)
Receive an alert any time a monitored door or window is opened or closed.
Door and window security sensors are made up of two pieces: a magnet and a sensor. When the door or
window is opened and the magnet and sensor separate, the sensor will alert your security system. In some cases,
systems can also send a notification to your smartphone or computer. These notifications can be customized, so you can
get a quick idea of what happened and where.

2. Motion detectors
Use: Alerts you to movement within an environment. Great for rooms that don’t get a ton of activity, and for
covering rooms with multiple doors and windows when no one’s home.
Motion sensors are usually considered ―active,‖ ―passive,‖ or dual tech/hybrid.
Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are called passive because they don’t send out any energy to detect movement.
Passive sensors detect changes in temperature, making them ideal for sensing body heat from people and
animals.
Active sensors — also known as radar-based motion sensors — emit radio waves or pulses that can reflect off
objects and report back to the device. Active sensors contain an optical, microwave, or acoustic sensor, as
well as a transmitter.
A dual tech sensor uses multiple methods, often combining PIR tech and radar.
3. Glass break sensors/detectors
Use: Detect the sound of breaking glass, such as a smashed window. Great for monitoring rooms with one or
many windows, like a sunroom.
How do glass breaks work
If a burglar doesn’t open the window and just breaks the glass, these sensors are designed to not only listen for
the sound of breaking glass, but also the percussion of the impact.
4. Smart sensors
Use: Place on household objects that you would like to monitor.
How do smart sensors work?
Multi-purpose wireless smart sensors can go pretty much anywhere within range of your security panel. They
are just like door and window contacts, using a magnet and a sensor that alerts when separated.
5. Room temperature sensors
Use: Create a more balanced temperature throughout your home, and see the temperature in different parts of
your home. Requires pairing with a smart thermostat.
How do room temperature sensors work?
Temperature sensors work together with smart thermostats to reduce temperature variations from room to room.
After you set your smart thermostat to your ideal temperature, the temperature sensor will help ensure that the
temperature stays consistent.
6. Flood sensors/water leak sensors
Use: Detect the presence of water. Helps prevent water damage and catch leaks early.
How do water detectors work?
Water sensors for home feature a probe that can be placed anywhere water could be a problem, like
basements, garages, or under sinks.
When water comes into contact with the probe, the transmitter relays the trouble signal. When you have a
monitored water detection device, the transmitter will send that signal to a monitoring center, which can alert
you that there is water present where it shouldn’t be. Then you can take quick action to help prevent costly
water damage!
7. Fire alarms / Smoke detectors
Use: Help protect against fire and smoke inhalation by detecting flames and abnormal levels of smoke. Some
modern home fire and smoke alarm systems also include built-in heat detectors.
How do smoke detectors work?
Smoke detectors use two main kinds of technology: Ionization and photoelectric.
Ionization smoke detectors are better at detecting quick flash fires. They use a small amount of radioactive
material between two plates. When smoke enters, it disrupts the ions and causes an alarm.
Photoelectric is better at detecting slow, smoldering fires that fill your home with smoke. Photoelectric uses a
light source that’s angled away from the sensor. When smoke enters, it causes the light to reflect off the sensor,
causing an alarm.

8. Carbon monoxide detector

Use: Detect carbon monoxide (CO) in your home, and help protect against carbon monoxide poisoning.
CO is a deadly, odorless gas that can come from any combustible appliance. Carbon monoxide alarm
systems are specifically designed to detect gas particles using either a gel or silica chip. When the gas
comes into contact with the chip, it prompts the sensor to send an alert.

9. Lighting sensors
Use: Tell lights to turn off when a room is still and turn on when someone enters.
Smart home light control modules plug right into your existing outlets, letting you control the lighting in your
home remotely. Using Z-Wave technology, these devices can work with your smart security system and other
home automation devices for even more options and security measures.
Light control modules can also work in tandem with motion sensors to trigger lights to turn on when someone enters a
room.
10. Optical sensors, also called photosensors, can detect light waves at different points in the light spectrum,
including ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light.
11. Proximity sensors detect the presence of an object or determine the distance between objects. Proximity
monitors are used in elevators, assembly lines, parking lots, retail stores, automobiles, robotics and
numerous other environments.
12. Touch sensors. Touch sensing devices detect physical contact on a monitored surface.
13. Tomographic sensors
These emit radio waves and sense when those waves are disturbed. These can detect waves through
walls/objects, and are often positioned in a way that creates a radio wave around the area. These sensors are
useful for warehouses and large storage units.

How to Choose the Right Security Sensors –factors to consider

The size of your property
Larger properties will need more sensors to ensure adequate coverage. These larger estates are more appealing
to intruders as well, which means you’ll want to have all your bases covered with every kind of home
intrusion sensor installed.
The number of doors and windows in your building
If you occupy a windowless basement, you obviously won’t need window sensors, but you’ll still need door
sensors to cover each entrance/exit. On the other hand, if you live in a house with large windows taking up
most of the wall space, you’ll want to invest in window sensors, if the windows open, and glass break sensors
for every 15-foot stretch of windows. For homes with more windows than wall area, glass break detectors may
be better than motion sensors, which could trigger false alarms when they detect neighbors walking on the
sidewalk.
The number of stories in your building
Multi-story homes are best protected when they have smoke/CO detectors, flood sensors, motion detectors, and
glass break detectors on every floor of the home. Keep in mind that you won’t likely need window or door
sensors for second- and third-story access points if they aren’t accessible from the outside, but use your best
judgment.
Whether or not you have children or pets
If you have littles or four-legged friends prone to wandering out of the house, having multiple door sensors, for
example, makes it easier to keep track of where they are and when they go outside. Just keep in mind when
placing motion detectors that dogs over 50 pounds can trigger false alarms.
Whether or not you live alone
Those living alone will have a difficult time keeping an eye on all the vulnerable areas of their house at one
time. For single tenants, we recommend having at least one of each sensor type so no emergency never
goes unnoticed.
The devices you already have in place
If you already have security sensors installed, consider which ones you could add for more comprehensive
home security that would integrate well with your current infrastructure. Consider also if upgrading your
current sensors may benefit you. Could you combine capabilities and save space by purchasing a dual-function
CO/smoke-detecting device? Could you reduce false alarms by investing in a new PIR motion detector?
The biggest threats to your home based on where you live
Picking the security sensors for your home is also a matter of the environmental risks around you. For instance,
do you live in an area prone to flash floods, low temperatures, or wildfires? Is your neighborhood statistically
more susceptible to crime than others?

Difference between Security Sensors and Detectors

Security sensors are devices that alert you before an intruder has entered your home. Eg. Contact sensors are a
great defense against break-ins through windows or doors, but they only work if windows and doors are kept
locked when you’re away. If an intruder enters through an unlocked back door, contact sensors won’t trigger an
alarm. Additionally, to be maximally effective, contact sensors must be placed on every window and door that
a potential intruder could access.

Security detectors identify when intruders are inside your home. Security detectors work by detecting motion in
your home through one of several different methods.
Security detectors work best if they are placed in high-traffic areas of your home, such as hallways. If you
have pets at home, you will need to purchase a security detector that is able to filter out pet movement. For
example, PIR detectors can be set to ignore pets up to a certain weight.

Detectors are used for the occupancy and motion sensing.

Air pressure sensors: detect changes in air pressure resulted from opening doors and windows
Capacitive detectors: detectors of human body capacitance
Acoustic detectors: detectors of sound produced by people
Photoelectric detectors : interruption of light beams by moving objects
Optoelectric detectors : detection of variations in illumination or optical contrast in the protected area
Pressure mat switches: pressure sensitive long strips used on floors beneath the carpets to detect weight of an
intruder Stress detectors: strain gauges imbedded into floor beams, staircases, and other structural components
Switch sensors: electrical contacts connected to doors and windows
Magnetic switches: a noncontact version of switch sensors
Vibration detectors: react to the vibration of walls or other building structures. Also, may be attached to doors
or windows to detect movements
Glass breakage detectors: sensors reacting to specific vibrations produced by shattered glass
infrared motion detectors: devices sensitive to heat waves emanated from warm or cold moving objects
Microwave detectors: active sensors responsive to microwave electromagnetic signals reflected from objects
Ultrasonic detectors: devices similar to microwave detectors except that instead of electromagnetic radiation,
ultrasonic waves are used
Video motion detectors: a video equipment that compares a stationary image stored in memory with the
current image from a protected area Video face recognition system: image analyzers that compare facial
features with database
Laser system detectors: similar to photoelectric detectors, except that they use narrow light beams and
combinations of reflectors
Tribo-electric detectors: sensors capable of detecting static electric charges carried by moving objects

How a Magnetic Contact Switch Works

• A two-unit device, consisting of a small permanent magnet (with no electrical connections)
and a magnetically sensitive reed switch, which is physically wired into the circuit.
Switch is activated whenever the magnet is brought close enough to it. Moving the magnet further away
deactivates the switch.
• Original magnetic contact switches were open to the air and allowed dust to accumulate inside the switch
• Dust may prevent proper operation.
• With a Reed Switch the switch is enclosed in a sealed tube. This prevents the environment from
interfering with the switch
• Glass tube may break if switch is dropped which exposes the reed to dust and may prevent it from working

Magnetic Reed Switch

Roller-plunger Contacts
• Used on doors, windows and cabinet doors • Plunger held in when door or window is closed
• These sensors depend on direct physical operation or disturbance of the sensor to generate an alarm
•

• Spring-loaded or plunger devices trigger when a door or window is opened

Roller-plunger Contact Installation
• Install on hinged side of door. Only hermetically sealed, watertight and airtight switches should be
used. • Should not be used on poorly fitting doors and windows
Outdoor Sensors
• Exterior Active Infrared. Beams are sent between posts
• External Microwave. Beams are sent between posts

Considerations for Outdoor Sensors

• Presence of grass or vegetation
• Possibility of leaf accumulation
• Possibility of movement of branches
• Likelihood of snow accumulation
• Possibility of fog, mist or dust
• Occurrence of lightning
• Check manufacturer’s recommendations

Outdoor Installation Guidelines

• Sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight on the plastic lens (even with UV stable plastics)
• Temperature. Make sure the temperature range is within sensor specifications
• Humidity/rain/fog. If conduit is used, run conduit out the side or bottom of the sensor to keep
conduit condensation from draining into the sensor housing.
• Make sure the conduit openings and the mounting holes on the sensor are well sealed

Birds and animals

• Depending on the size, speed, and proximity to the sensor, warm blooded animals can trigger an alarm
• The larger the animal, the farther away it can be detected
• Avoid directing the sensor towards bushes or branches where birds can perch
• You can mount two sensors in parallel to require alarm verification

TYPES OF ALARM SYSTEMS

Alarm systems can be broadly divided into two types: a perimeter (or external) intrusion detection system
(PIDS) or alarm. an internal security alarm system (SAS).

Electric Circuit Alarm Systems

As the name suggests, an electric circuit alarm system uses a series of circuits across various points. It’s one of
the most rudimentary forms of alarm system that work on the principle of circuit breakers. That’s the reason
they’re installed near doors, windows, or other entry points of a home or business.
These alarms systems use a low-voltage current flow between a series of points when a door or window is
closed. When the door or window is opened, the circuit is disrupted and triggers the alarm.
Wired Alarm Systems
Wired alarm systems have been around for decades. They are called ―wired‖ because they require physical
wires to be installed across the premises to function. The wires connect various components of the system like
sensors, control panels, and sirens, to each other.
The benefit of wired alarm systems is they are more reliable than their wireless counterparts. Since the system
is hardwired into the building, it’s less prone to interference or signal issues. Wired systems are also more
durable and can withstand extreme weather that makes them ideal for outdoor installations.
The cons of wired alarm systems are that they can cost a lot more to install than wireless systems. They need
physical wires to be installed throughout your premises making them not as flexible as wireless systems. It can
also be difficult to add or remove components post installation.
Wireless Alarm System
Wireless alarm systems are a newer type of alarm system that use radio frequencies to communicate between
the various components of the system. This means that they do not require physical wires to be installed,
making them more flexible and easier to install.
Ease of installation is one of the main advantages of wireless alarm systems. As they don’t require installing
physical wires, they can be set up much faster and with less disruption to the premises. Wireless systems
are also more flexible, so you can add or remove components as or when needed.
On the downside, wireless alarm systems are still less reliable compared to wired systems. They are prone to
interference and signal issues. They aren’t as durable as wired systems and hence may not be suitable for
outdoor installations.
Monitored Alarm Systems
Whether they’re wired, wireless, or those systems reliant on electric currents, monitored alarms are connected
to a monitoring system that notifies a security solutions provider.
When a monitored house alarm goes off, the system sends out a request for assistance to the police, fire
services, or the monitoring station. They even notify a monitoring service, which contacts you later to confirm
the alarm and make sure you’re secure.

Security alarm systems Integration

An alarm system may interact with:
– Cameras - Example- cameras zoom in on a door when alarm is activated
– Access Control - Example- Authorized user uses credential to unlock a door and the alarm is bypassed
– Home Automation - Example- User hits away on touchpad which lowers heat, turns off lights and arms
the alarm
– Energy Management - Example- Alarm is armed and heat or air conditioning is lowered

Advantages with integration

– Can reduce costs
– Coordinate activity between systems – example: disarming alarm – turns lights on
Challenges with integration
– One system can adversely impact another
– One component or system may not be designed to work with another

Call points.
Manual fire alarm call points are devices that enable people to raise a fire alarm in the event of a fire incident by
pressing or breaking an element to activate the fire alarm system.

What is the purpose of a call point?

Conventional manual call points are typically installed at various fire escape route locations throughout a
premises. Featuring bright red housing for ease of identification, the manual call point allows for occupants to
manually activate the fire alarm system in the event of an emergency

Installation of an alarm system- Installation Sequence

1. Design the Layout
Make a rough sketch of the premises to get an idea of where all alarm detection devices, keypads and other
modules are to be located.
2. Mounting the Control Panel
The control panel must be mounted within the protected area close to an unswitched AC power source and the
incoming telephone line.
 You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery, or applying AC to the panel.
3. Install the Remote Keypads
Mount the remote keypads at locations that are easily accessible during entry and exit from
the protected area. Connect the remote keypads to the control panel.
4. Zone Wiring
Install detection devices and connect to control panel or expander.
5. Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including external/internal sounders and telephone line
connections.
6. Apply Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 5 are completed, apply power to the control panel. First, connect the red
battery lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the
AC.
7. Program the System
If available use the Eclipse UDL software package to program the system, if this is not
available program this system in accordance with the procedures in Section 3.
8. Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions are operating as required.

Intrusion Alarm
Control Panel
Features
 The panel should be capable of handling wired detectors as well as with wireless detectors.
Components of a burglar alarm
The intruder system comprises detectors, control panels and communications devices.
Detectors identify and react to specific occurrences including movement, shock,
vibration, smoke, heat, and flood.

Different types of detectors are available, each protecting different aspects of the property.
These include:
 Passive infrared sensors (PIRs) detect people moving using infrared heat sensing,
 Dual Technology sensors use combined infrared and microwave sensing
technologies to help reduce false alarms,
 Magnetic door contacts detect the opening and closing of doors and windows,
 Glass break sensors listen for the specific noise of breaking glass,
 Shock sensors detect attacks on doors and windows,
 Smoke sensors can be connected to the intruder alarm system to detect fire.
