(A) An alarm holder in the first 30 days of the installation of an alarm device, shall be authorized to test the alarm device without the imposition of any false alarm service charge or without the risk of disconnection, subject to the alarm holder filing a written statement with the police stating the testing procedure to be utilized and the name of the alarm holder's delegate performing the testing procedure.
(B) The testing procedure will be one of the following:
(1) In the event the testing procedure is an on-site test designed to simulate conditions to induce an alarm signal to be generated, then the alarm holder, or his delegate, shall timely and properly inform the police or fire of the testing and the police or fire will telephone the alarm holder, or his delegate, each time an alarm signal is received at the central answering point. However, the police or fire will not otherwise respond to the alarm signal.
(2) If the testing procedure utilized is to allow an alarm signal to be generated without simulating conditions to induce an alarm signal, the police or fire will respond to each alarm signal generated but the alarm holder, or his delegate, shall file with the Police or Fire Departments, within 48 hours of the generated alarm signal, a written statement of each false alarm created, the cause of the
false alarm and the procedure utilized to eliminate further false alarms.
(3) Both of the foregoing testing procedures.
