(c) At the time of installation, each alarm equipment supplier shall furnish to the person for whom an automatic protection device has been installed, written information as to how services can be obtained at any time, including the telephone number to call for service, and such person shall be responsible for having the device repaired as quickly a possible after he or she learns, either from his or her own sources or from notification by the Village, that the device is not working properly.

(e) All alarms installed in the Village must be provided with an auxiliary power source to preclude false alarms due to power failures in the normal power supply source for the premises.
(f) For a violation of any provision of this chapter, for failure to properly maintain an installation, or when the number of false alarms for any installation exceeds three in any calendar year, the Chief of Police shall serve written notice upon a permit holder of intent to revoke his or her permit. Such notice shall be served less than seven days prior to revocation. Such notice shall state the right of the permit holder to appeal to the Mayor. If an appeal is filed in writing, the Mayor shall hold a hearing on the matter and shall render a decision on the basis of the facts presented. The Mayor's decision shall be final.
