This Is A Test- Checkpoint Systems

When is the last time you ran a test on your Checkpoint Systems alarm? If the answer is – never- then you might want to reconsider having a test done. At the very least, an alarm test should be conducted once every six months, or biannually.

While Checkpoint Systems alarms are very reliable, conducting a test ensures that all of the physical components are working properly. That means the motion sensors are alarming when they should and all of the door sensors register when they are opened.

The alarm test is actually pretty simple to conduct and should not take more than about twenty to thirty minutes, depending on the size of your store and the amount of access points to test.

Step one is to call the alarm monitoring company and tell them you are going to conduct a test of your Checkpoint Systems. They will place the system on test for you. This is extremely important to do first. If your system is not on test mode, the alarms that you trigger will notify the police. You may be charged a false alarm fee if the police have to respond.

Next walk through your store. Make sure you walk past all motion sensors and open all doors that have an alarm. When you are done, call the alarm company back to have your system taken off of test mode. You should have a detailed list of all points that triggered. Any point that did not alarm that should have needs to have maintenance done immediately.
