Audio confirmation systems requirements

For audio confirmation systems the audio equipment may be triggered by an:

• Intruder Detector
• Audio listing device (ALD)

If one of these methods are employed certain rules apply:

• Audio coverage must match the detection coverage
• Audio confirmation cannot commence until an alarm has been signalled to the ARC

When an alarm is received at the ARC the listening periods, as a minimum, are:

• 60 (s) for intruder detection
• 30 (s) for audio detection

For audio confirmation of intruder detection:

• at least 10(s) stored audio before an activation
• at least 15 (s) stored audio after an activation

For audio confirmation of audio detection:

• at least 1 (s) stored audio before activation
• at least 15 (s) stored audio after activation
