Why this decision matters
A successful installer demonstration is not enough if the intended user cannot repeat the everyday task.
Work through the actual task
- Practise normal arming, part arming and authorised user changes.
- Have the installer explain a fault display and the approved test process.
- Perform the everyday tasks yourself and note any step that needs a written instruction.
Worked example
The owner can disarm but does not understand the fault indicator. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A labelled zone list and operating instructions for the installed keypad.
Limits and follow-up
A siren, an app alert and professional monitoring are separate features. Confirm who receives a signal and what they are expected to do.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
