System - 4 Devices To Look For To Reduce Your Installation Cost
By Alfred P
If your home is
prewired for a home alarm system, you will want to do an inventory of the
devices installed. This will make your meeting with your security consultant
more productive. During the check, you want to find out what devices are
installed and how many there are. You will be looking for your keypad, alarm
panel, door and window contacts, motion detectors and smoke detectors.
Keypad
Looking for your
keypad is quite easy. Typically your keypad is located close to one of the
entrances. Look at the hall way leading to the garage door and around the front
door. The keypad will have numbers on it, similar to the same layout as your
phone. Look for words like, arm, off, away, stay, police, fire and medical.
You also want to see
if there is a flip cover. look inside the flip cover, there might be
information about the system on it. Write down all the information you find on
and around the keypad. This will help the security consultant determine what
type of system it is.
Alarm panel
Your alarm panel is
the heart of your alarm system. All the wires from the devices installed will
run back to the alarm panel. Most alarm panels in prewired homes are installed
with other low voltage panels, such as your cable and phone boxes.
They are usually
located in the master bedroom closet. Other places to look are closets in the
hallway and in the garage. This panel is different than your electrical panel.
It does not have circuit breakers inside. What you will see inside is a circuit
board with wires running to it.
Door and window
contacts
When your home was
prewired, the contractor added contacts and magnets to the doors and some
windows. You will find your prewired contacts and magnets inside the door and
window frames. You should also look at the doors and windows themselves. You
should see a round stud on the frame and the door or window. These are your
magnets and contacts. At a minimum, all your doors should have contacts on
them.
