Difference Between Grade 2 And Grade 3

[mikeald]

Hi all,

I am a little out of touch with the current regs on installing a grade 2 or a grade 3 intruder system.

I used to know all of this,

but I left my job whereby I was installing galaxies all the time 2 years ago, I am purely external perimeter protection now.

Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could help me familiarise myself with these two categories?

My main queries are:

Does a grade 3 system HAVE to have anti mask detectors? And what about a Grade 2 system, does the same apply?

Can Redcare/dualcom be installed to a g3 system as well as a g2 system?

On a g3 system do you HAVE to use fobs to set/unset? And what about a g2 system?

Does a g3 system automatically mean that you have to have confirmed alarm in every room in order to get police response?

Can you have police responce on a g2 system?

THis is all I can think of for now!!!!!

Any help much appreciated,

guys

gotcha,

Thanks for the reply,

Yes I know there is a lot more to it than this, I do remember most of it, but I have forgotten a few things.

Ok, well this is great for now thank you.

One more thing though:

Who tells you whether your premises must have a g2 or g3 system?

The insurance company? Or the security installation company?

Thank you.
