Environmental classification

In addition to the safety rating, each component has an environmental classification. There are no general environmental ratings. Each component must meet the classification for the location in which it will be installed. These environmental classes are defined as follows:

Alarmas clase 1 - Interior

CLASS 1
Indoor

Environmental influences normally experienced indoors when the temperature is well maintained, e.g. in a residence or commercial property.

Alarmas clase 2 - Interior general

CLASS 2
General Indoor

Environmental influences normally experienced indoors when the temperature is not well maintained, e.g. corridors, halls, stairwells or when condensation may occur on windows, in unheated storage areas or in warehouses where heating is intermittent.

Alarmas clase 3 - Exterior cubierto

CLASS 3 - Outdoor
Covered / Indoor Extreme

The intruder is expected to be knowledgeable about intrusion alarm systems and have an extensive range of tools such as frequency jammers and portable electronic equipment.

Alarmas clase 4 - Exterior general

CLASS 4
Outdoor

Environmental influences normally experienced outdoors when intrusion alarm system components are fully exposed to the weather.

For most alarm systems, all interior components shall be Class 2 (Indoor-General) with a Class 4 (Outdoor General) outdoor siren. Class 3 (Outdoor Covered or Indoor Extreme Conditions) components shall be required if the alarm system includes barns or sheds exposed to weather.
