I the Time
(Continued from Paee A 10)
portent to use a test record form. It
should contain columns for en
tering the date of the test, initials
of persons performing the test, and
comments. An alarm system
should be tested at a specific time,
at least once a week. The com
pleted forms should be filed for
insurance purposes. If the system
is not designed to operate under
farm conditions, the chances for
malfunction are increased. Dust
and dander, fertilizers and
chemicals, gases and vapors are
all problems that can cause
malfunctions on most alarm
systems which use electro
mechanical components. Also,
power surges and lightning can be
most damaging.
