Communication Devices
Your alarm system may be fitted with a
digital communicator or RedCARE unit.
The device is connected to your
telephone line and in the event of an
alarm activation, the device will signal the
alarm condition to the alarm receiving
centre. Where upon the necessary police
action can be taken.
If your system has been fitted with such a
device it is very important that you fully
understand how to operate your alarm
system. Operator misuse may result in
the police attending your premises
under false conditions.
A personal computer (PC) can be linked
into your alarm system via the telephone
line to allow remote programming and
testing of the alarm system. This feature is
known as "Downloading" and is normally
performed by your alarm company or
alarm receiving centre with your
authorisation. An example of this feature
would be for your alarm company to dial
into your alarm system and adjust your
entry time.
