Alarm systems - Social alarm systems - Part 3: Local unit and controller

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements and tests for local units and controllers forming part of a social alarm system. This European Standard applies to local units and controllers that receive an alarm triggering signal from manually or automatically activated trigger devices and convert this into an alarm signal for transmission to the alarm receiving centre or an alarm recipient. The local unit and controller may be either separate units or integrated into one unit.

Alarmni sistemi - Socialni alarmni sistemi - 3. del: Lokalna enota in krmilnik

Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve in preskuse za lokalne enote in krmilnike, ki so del socialnega alarmnega sistema. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za lokalne enote in krmilnike, ki sprejmejo alarmni signal iz ročno ali samodejno aktiviranih sprožilnih naprav ter ga pretvorijo v alarmni signal za prenos v varnostno-nadzorni center ali k sprejemniku alarma. Lokalna enota in krmilnik sta lahko ločeni enoti ali sta vgrajena v eno enoto.

Introduction
This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the local unit and controller to ensure this
system part provides the functionality and reliability required by a social alarm system.
The design should also take into consideration situations where the user may be unable to send an
alarm, or where an unwanted alarm may be sent, due to technical malfunctions or poor ergonomic
design.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements and tests for local units and controllers
forming part of a social alarm system.
This European Standard applies to local units and controllers that receive an alarm triggering signal
from manually or automatically activated trigger devices and convert this into an alarm signal for
transmission to the alarm receiving centre or an alarm recipient.
The local unit and controller may be either separate units or integrated into one unit.
