§ 3-11.17. Standby Power Back-up Source.
No alarm system shall be installed or connected on or after the date this chapter becomes effective which does not have a standby back-up power supply which will automatically assume the operation of the alarm system should any interruption occur in power to the system. The transfer of power from the primary source to the back-up source and reverse must occur in a manner which does not activate the alarm. The back-up power supply shall be capable of powering the alarm system on a continuous basis for a minimum of two (2) hours.
On or after one (1) year from the effective date of this chapter, no owner of an alarm system within the City of Modesto shall have in operation any alarm system unless such alarm system is equipped with a standby power back-up source as required by this chapter.
