Rich Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 To give you time to enter the code and disable the alarm?
kka Posted December 13, 2005 Author Posted December 13, 2005 would this be standard practise? Kevin Scott. Owner of KK Alarms...... Installation .. Service .. Repair ...... Thoughout.. Northumberland and North Tyneside ..... Tel:01670 361948 (call diverted after 15 seconds) or 07947444114
Guest Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Remember that during that period if the alarm activated the internals would sound, then if the correct code hasnt been entered, then a full alarm activation would take place. More often found in part set modes at night so if the alarm is nuscence tripped in the morning by the house owner, they can switch it off before the whole street is woken up. would this be standard practise? It would be something discussed with the house owner, and if applicable insurance company. If the alarm was monitored it would be a different set-up again, so it depends on circumstance. If the said person is unhappy with the config, then get it altered if it is a worry.
