Excessive Signals

Excessive Signals

Our system generates a case whenever there are over 20 signals in a 24 hour period, regardless if the system is on test. If excessive signals are not caused by testing or repairs, you should view the activity from your daily activity report sent to you from 'Dynamark' to see what these excessive signals are caused by. If trouble is present, you should contact your system vendor immediately. Excessive signals are billed per signals over 250/month billing cycle. Excessive trouble conditions should be repaired within 8 hours per fire code. Notification to your Fire Marshal is required for any issues on your system that are not repaired within 8 hours.
