In order to continue to protect people, property and processes, your access control system needs to remain working to its optimum capability.
An access control system needs that operates constantly will ensure that only valid and authorized areas are accessed, by authorized people with the correct credentials.
There is little point having an access control system that is poorly maintained as component parts could fail or work inefficiently. This means your system might not work as intended and your security could be breached.
At VSECUREU, we believe that an ongoing programme of maintenance inspections, sometimes referred to as planned preventative maintenance (PPM), should be part of your operational strategy to ensure the optimum performance of your fire, security alarm, access control or CCTV surveillance systems.
Carrying out routine service and maintenance by an approved and accredited provider, will make sure your system is running and working correctly with optimum performance.
An annual visit will allow all elements of the system to be checked and verified for correct operation and any potential faults or issues will be addressed before they become a more major problem.
Items routinely inspected and tested are:
- Door Control equipment including standalone or networked systems.
- Emergency egress devices including any interconnection to FIRE detection systems
- Readers of all types – biometric, card, pin code or combinations of
- Battery and stand by emergency power supplies
