UL-Listed Central Station Monitoring — What’s Included

Fire alarm monitoring is not just a monthly bill. A properly supported fire alarm account should include monitoring, signal verification, documentation, service access, inspection records, and coordination when the Fire Marshal or AHJ needs information.

Fire Alarm Code & Compliance — NFPA 72 and AHJ Coordination

Avenger Security aligns commercial fire alarm design, installation, service, and maintenance with NFPA 72, manufacturer instructions, Texas licensing requirements, and the requirements of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction. In Austin, this often means coordinating with Austin Fire plan review, Austin Fire inspections, and the assigned Fire Marshal or inspector.

• Occupant notification and supervised fire alarm circuits.
• Fire alarm trouble indication and event logging.
• Emergency personnel control at the fire alarm control panel.
• Compatible listed devices and notification appliances.
• Fire alarm monitoring signal verification.
• Access control release coordination when required.
• AHJ-ready documentation and inspection support.

Annual Testing, Maintenance & Documentation

Fire alarm systems must be tested and maintained. Avenger Security can help with annual inspections, device testing, communicator testing, monitoring signal verification, battery replacement, deficiency correction, and documentation for property owners and Fire Marshal inspections.
