Applicant may be required to submit evidence of the reliability and suitability of the equipment to be installed.
(b) The sensory mechanism used in connection with such devices must be adjusted to suppress false indications of fire or intrusion, so that the device will not be actuated by impulses due to transient pressure change in water pipes, short flashes of light, wind noises such as the rattling or vibrating doors or windows, vehicular noises adjacent to the installation, or other forces unrelated to genuine alarms.
(c) All components comprising such device must be maintained by the owner or lessee in good repair to assure reliability of operation.
(d) Each alarm equipment supplier that sells or leases to a person an automatic protection device which is installed on such person's premises in the City shall furnish that person with instructions as to the way the device operates, along with maintenance instructions.
(e) Each alarm equipment supplier shall also furnish the Chief of Police and/or Chief of Fire with a copy of the instructions as to the way the device operates. If the Chief of Police and/or Chief of Fire find such to be incomplete, unclear, or otherwise inadequate, he may require the alarm equipment supplier to have the same revised to meet his approval and then promptly have copies distributed to persons for whom installations of such devices are made.
(f) Each alarm equipment supplier that sells or leases to a person an automatic protection device which is installed on such person's premises in the City for which a permit is required must provide for receiving calls for service, directly or through an agent, on a twenty- four hour basis, seven days a week, and shall respond to such calls within eight hours of the time they are received.
(g) 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 service 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 as possible after he learns, either from his own sources or from notification by the City, that the device is not working properly.
(h) The Chief of Police and the Chief of Fire or any officer designated by them shall have the authority, at reasonable times and upon oral notice, to enter upon any premises within the City, to inspect the installation and operation of an automatic protection device or signaling device, the purpose of which is to report an emergency to the police and/or fire station.
(i) All equipment, the use or installation of which is subject to this chapter, shall be maintained in good operating condition. The Chief of Police and/or the Chief of Fire may require that repairs be made whenever he has determined that such are necessary to assure proper operation. (1969 Code 59.06)
