Title
UL Standard for Safety Proprietary Burglar Alarm Units and Systems
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Publication Date:
Sep 29, 1995
Scope:
These requirements apply to the construction, performance and
operation of equipment intended for
use in proprietary burglar alarm units and systems used to protect
against burglary. These products
are normally intended for indoor use.
A proprietary burglar alarm system as referred to by these
requirements is a system in which alarm
initiating circuits and devices are installed at a property and are
connected directly or
indirectly to constantly monitored receiving equipment at a central
supervising station. The
central supervising station is located at the protected property and
intended for operation by
personnel responsible to the owner of the protected property. The
protected property may consist of
a single property or of noncontiguous properties under a single
ownership. The system is arranged
so that a predetermined change in the alarm initiating circuits or
devices automatically causes
transmission of an alarm signal over a supervised signaling channel to
the central supervising
station.
These systems normally operate within the limits of Class 2
remote-control and signal circuits as
defined by Article 725 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
The protection circuit must respond to both an increase and a decrease
in the circuit resistance or
current within the limits indicated in the appropriate sections of
this standard. See 53.3, 57.2,
and 61.6.
Revised 1.4 effective March 21, 2007
A system that provides line security may be classified as either
standard line security or
encrypted line security. See Standard Line Security Equipment, Section
64, and Encrypted Line
Security Equipment, Section 64A.
Revised 1.5 effective March 21, 2007
Protective devices installed on individual properties are further
classified as to extent of
protection at each location. Requirements covering installation and
classification (of extent) of
alarm protective equipment at individual locations are published in
the Standard for Installation
and Classification of Burglar and Holdup Alarm Systems, UL 681, which
is intended to be referenced
by burglar-alarm installers.
Revised 1.6 effective March 21, 2007
Proprietary burglar alarm units and systems are also specially
designated as to their intended use
on mercantile premises, mercantile safes and vaults, and bank safes
and vaults.
Equipment intended for combination burglar alarm and fire-protective
signaling systems shall comply
with the requirements in the Standard for Control Units for
Fire-Protective Signaling Systems, UL
864.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems new or
different from those covered by the requirements in this Standard, and
that involves a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using
the appropriate additional
component and end-product requirements to determine that the level of
safety as originally
anticipated by the intent of this Standard is maintained. A product
whose features,
characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with
specific requirements or
provisions of this Standard shall not be judged to comply with this
Standard. Where appropriate,
revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance
with the methods employed for
development, revision, and implementation of this Standard.
