Chubb designs and installs intruder and panic attack alarms that generate an effective response, with alarm confirmation technology in compliance with DD243.

Chubb protection devices are proven to minimise false alarms, which is critical for maintaining Police response.

An entry level intruder and panic attack alarm would be specified for a small stand-alone site with up to 4 areas requiring protection. This would be suitable for small commercial and possibly large domestic premises. The specified system would incorporate a range of protection devices and would be designed in accordance with PD6662 and DD243, to generate an effective response by keyholders, and if necessary, the Police.

What products would be used?

A typical entry level intruder and panic attack alarm could consist of a control panel, that can be managed by a central PC. A control panel could have up to 4 keypads and 18 protection devices which can be divided up into separate areas requiring protection. There can be a maximum of 4 areas. This system will accommodate a range of different protection devices, such as infra-red movement detectors, door contacts, break-glass sensors and panic attack switches. The system is able to support wireless protection devices, if required, for areas where it is not possible to run cabling, or to facilitate a quick and easy installation. A standard entry level system would comply with EN Standards Grade 2, and would be ideal for a large house, or a small retail outlet.

How many users could I have?

An entry level intruder and panic attack alarm would be capable of accommodating up to 14 users, with a varying level of authority to set, unset and run reports from the system. The control panel records up to 250 events, features in-built diagnostics,.and includes remote management software, allowing you to manage multiple sites from a single location.

What technologies would it incorporate?

The system supports both hardwired and wireless protection devices. Protection devices operate using a combination of technologies, such as infra-red, microwave, vibration or personal attack switches to provide alarm confirmation, whether in the form of sequential, audio or visual confirmation of an alarm signal. The control panel then determines if an alarm has been initiated and responds with a choice of functions, such as a pulsing strobe, an alarm sounder, or more effectively by sending a signal to a Chubb alarm receiving centre (ARC) to trigger a keyholder response, and, if the alarm is confirmed, a Police response.

What happens if my requirements change in the future?

An entry level intruder and panic attack alarm is limited to up to 18 protection devices and 4 keypads. This system would only be suitable for small businesses and large domestic premises. If required, Chubb can upgrade an entry level system to increase the coverage or to match the level of risk determined by a security audit. This could involve changing the control panel and adding to the protection devices. Chubb installs technologically advanced systems that comply with all relevant legislation and standards, and are designed to operate effectively for years to come.
