§ 80-7. Operation and maintenance requirements.

A. 

An alarm user shall:

(1) 

Maintain the premises and the alarm system in a manner that will minimize or eliminate false alarm dispatches; and

(2) 

Make every reasonable effort to respond or cause a representative to respond to the alarm system's location within one hour when notified by the municipality to deactivate a malfunctioning alarm system, to provide access to the premises or to provide security for the premises; and

(3) 

Not manually activate an alarm for any reason other than an occurrence of an event that the alarm system was intended to report.

B. 

An alarm user shall adjust the mechanism or cause the mechanism to be adjusted so that an alarm signal audible on the exterior of an alarm site will sound for no longer than 10 minutes after being activated (or 15 minutes for systems operating under Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Standards 365 or 609).

C. 

An alarm user shall have a properly licensed alarm business inspect his alarm system after three false alarm dispatches in a one-year period. After three false alarm dispatches, the alarm user must have a properly licensed alarm business modify the alarm system to be more false-alarm resistant or provide additional user training as appropriate.
