If necessary all installed Fire Detection and Alarm System should subscribe to the alarm monitoring services of a central station. All alarm signals received by the monitoring central station shall be forwarded or redirected to the nearby fire fighting authorities.

The competence of the operators of the central station shall be certified by the manufacturer of the receiving system of equipment, or by an organization acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Central station monitoring services are the best way to maintain peace of mind and keep your establishment secured 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Central station alarm monitoring connects your alarm systems to an Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) listed Central Station which is expected to respond any time an alarm is triggered. The central station will then notify the appropriate authorities of the incident so that help comes quickly. This can be very important if no one is on the premises during an emergency, or if there is a security incident that demands a fast response, among other situations.

Central station monitoring works by connecting your alarm systems to the U.L. listed Central Station, which ensures that an operator is always available to respond when an alarm is triggered. When an alarm gets triggered a signal is sent to the central station—a responder will call through the main hub of your system to confirm the alert. If help is needed and the alert is confirmed, or if there is no response, the central station will inform local authorities such as law enforcement or the fire department of the emergency. This can save precious minutes during many different kinds of emergencies, potentially saving lives. It can ensure faster response times due to not needing someone to call, especially when an emergency is causing panic, and also if an incident takes place while no one is within the facility, such as an after-hours break-in or fire.

Why do the Philippines have slow internet?

Image
  It isn't that the country's regulatory landscape makes it difficult for internet service providers to put up the necessary infrastructure.  Actually the approval of electronics systems designs and plans in the city and municipal areas isn't difficult, it was most likely because they could not enforce the law. And also corrupt government officials exploit this lack of enforcement to steal money from the telecommunication companies. The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), has released memorandum circulars on RA 9292, Electronics Engineering Law of 2004 regarding its implementation. The Local Government Units should already have a guide in formulating a unified and defined set of procedures in the releasing electronics permit and in the checking and approving of electronics system plans and designs. The country's regulatory landscape NEVER make...

The Distributed Antenna System

A distributed antenna system is most often used to distribute cellular network coverage to heavily populated buildings, such as offices, high-rise apartments, shopping centers or sports stadiums. The Telecommunication facility is one of the major parts of the building utility to provide communications. The building owner shall provide space to house the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system is part of the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system, is an in-building solution comprising of a number of pico cells to provide wireless coverage and services using 2G. 3G, 4G, 5G, and even 6G wireless access technology. Definite number of antennas constitutes one single sector; this means that these set of antennas are strategically installed inside a building / compoun...

An electronic engineer in the renewable energy sector

Examples of renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, bio-energy (organic matter burned as a fuel) and hydroelectric, including tidal energy.  Renewable energy engineers develop and design systems to use energy from renewable resources, such as the sun, wind, and water. Renewable resources are energy sources that are naturally and continually replaced. They are alternatives to nonrenewable resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas that do not replenish themselves, and are environmentally destructive. It's crucial to gain specialized expertise. Focus on understanding the electronic components that are vital for renewable energy systems, such as inverters, which convert direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses. Familiarize yourself with energy storage systems, ...
