   (B)   An alarm user shall:
      (1)   Maintain the premises and the alarm system in a manner that will minimize or eliminate false alarm dispatches; and
      (2)   Make every reasonable effort to respond or cause a representative to respond to the alarm system’s location within one hour when notified by the county to deactivate a malfunctioning alarm system to provide access to the premises or to provide security for the premises, and not manually activate an alarm for any reason other than an occurrence of an event that the alarm system was intended to report.
   (C)   An alarm user shall adjust the mechanism or cause the mechanism to be adjusted so that an alarm signal audible on the exterior of an alarm site will sound for no longer than 15 minutes after being activated.
