I have just taken over the responsibility for a building.
It is leased and has been refitted by the provider of the underlease.
They have installed an alarm. On enquiring the alarm a grade 2 hardwired system was installed by one of the contractors sparkies who used to be an alarm installer and claims to still be SSIA registered.
I met this guy on site and found the alarm to be fob operated but with a keypad available.
I asked for a master code as I have not decided which arc service to use.
He refused to let me have one quoting recent acpo rule changes re the use of keypads.
I stated that the fobs would be used but I required the codes since they may be needed if staff arrived to open up but had forgotten their fob.
I also said I required the master code because I hadn't yet decided which arc to use and I had no service contract yet in place for resetting.
The sparkie installer would not be the service company as he was working already as an employed general electrical contractor not as an alarm company.
A couple of points here
Will the alarm be elligible for police response not being NSI installed. Allthough the contractor claimed to be SSIA I doubt if he is doing general subbing wether he has kept his SSIA subs going just for the few alarms a year he will be required to install in his current position.
I certainly have no paper proof of his membership and doubt to be shown any.
Also , where did he stand refusing to give me the codes?
thanks..
