Before making a sale, a Site Survey should be written up
after inspecting the building, and
submitted to Signalink Technical Support. An approved survey ensures that your
installation will be fast and easy. Download from our website
Fire-Link is relatively simple to install. Nevertheless, it is a system and the installer needs to be
trained. Inadequate training leads to bad installations and unsatisfied customers:
Signalink has an on-line training and certification process on its website, and is available
by email.
Please take the time to get trained!
It only takes a short while, will give you
satisfied customers, and will save your organization time and money
