Maximize the quality and reliability of security system installations with the 2008 NFPA 731.
Rely on the 2008 NFPA 731: Installation of Electronic Premises Security Systems for the latest requirements for every facet of security equipment installation--with provisions for the application, location, performance, testing, and maintenance of physical security systems and their components. From signal initiation, transmission, notification, and annunciation to levels of performance and reliability, this essential document covers it all! Rules address the protected premises from the property line to the interior of the premises. NFPA 731 also references or incorporates provisions from applicable UL, SIA, and other standards.
Make sure you're current on these important changes to the 2008 edition:
- A new chapter covers transmission of signals to a supervising station.
- A new requirement was added to make it clear as to when the battery was installed as opposed as to when it was manufactured.
- The requirement for ground supervision was removed, as not all intrusion detection control panels can provide this supervision and not all accessories need to be monitored for integrity.
- A new rule specifies that a holdup signal must be transmitted to a monitoring station, not at a constantly attended law enforcement center.
- A new chapter on the receiving and notification of signals from a protected premises addresses the monitoring, handling and notification on signals received. The chapter describes three types of monitoring stations--public safety agencies, proprietary monitoring and commercial monitoring.
- The section on testing and maintenance of electronic premises security systems to reduce unwanted alarms and verify that the system is operating as intended was moved to the Annex.
