A good alarm system is indispensable for high-risk object situations. Just as important as this system, is the quality and reliability of the alarm transmission system to the control room. That is obvious, as any desired and adequate action is preceeded by an alert…

Under the brand name DigiAlarm, ASB offers several trend-setting solutions for alarm transmission. These alarm transmission services guarantee the transmission of signals from your alarm system to the control room of your choice (a private alarm receiving centre, ARC).

Insurance requirements
Several DigiAlarm alarm transmission services are available, and the choice for one or the other is determined by the importance and the specific requirements of the situation. DigiAlarm is the only alarm transmission service that is certified end-to-end according to NEN-EN 50136 – 1:2012, the highest and strictest European standard for alarm transmission. The certification was carried out by an independent Dutch quality control agency (KIWA). All DigiAlarm services meet the requirements for the protection of high-risk locations (AL2/DP3 and AL3/DP4), that demand an uninterrupted connection with an monitoring and alarm receiving centre (MARC).

Risk profile
The risk profile of an object situation determines the optimum quality level of the alert transmission service. ASB takes this into account, when setting up the service:

1. The alarm transmission must be done through two separate methods (redundancy of the transmission system). Which methods must be applied, depends on the risk profile.
2. The availability and response times of different systems
3. Set-up of Verification of Performance (VoP): frequency and assessment of, and reporting on, all connected systems.
