This Security system can be tailored to your
home-whether you live in a 3-story colonial,
a ranch, even a studio apartment

Linear SSD is loaded with design details and operating features that are based upon decades of experience with how homeowners use security systems. It is provided as a basic system that can be expanded easily with a full range of valuable accessories. In other words, you pay for precisely the level of protection you need for the size and layout of your home. Basic systems include components for protecting several entry points to your home (doors and/or windows) and for convenient, wireless remote control.

The console is the heart of the system and allows you to set the security mode you want and to check status. There are five easy-to-set operating modes: HOME-for protection at home. AWAY-for protection when you're gone. CHIME-for advising when a door or window has been opened. TEST-for checking all sensors. OFF-for disarming and for stopping alarms in progress.

The consloe receives a radio frequency signal whenever any of the wireless sensors experience a change in condition-a door being opened, for instance. It can identify both the sensors and the signal type (alarm or low battery warning) and take appropriate action. If there's an alarm, it will sound a loud, internal siren, and if equipped for monitoring, place an automatic phone call to the central station.

Door/window sensors guard the entry points to your home and automatically trigger a system alarm if there's an attempted break-in.

Remote control comes in several forms and varies by SSD system model. The wireless keypad includes all of the same operating controls as the consloe and can be located anywhere around the house. Keychain transmitters offer the convenience of one-button arming/disarming. The two-button model, available as an accessory, also triggers the console's home automation feature (control of a room light, for instance). When both buttons are pressed in unison, an emergency or "panic" alarm is triggered.

Adding protection is easy. The system will support a total of 16 sensors of any type. Install more door/window sensors for guarding other accessible entry points, outside buildings like sheds and detached garages, and inside areas like gun and liquor cabinets. These sensors can also be equipped with glass break detectors or magnetic contact sets for additional capabilities. Consider installing more wireless keypads for remote control elsewhere around the house. And get extra keychain transmitters so that every member of your family has one.

To ensure continuous protection even in a power failure, the console can be equipped with a rechargable back-up battery. In the unlikely event an intruder gets inside your house, motion detectors pick up the slightest movement and cause an alarm to sound. For protection against fire, SSD smoke detectors are highly recommended-they sound their own alarm, a house alarm through the console siren, and also place a fire call to the central station if your system is monitored.

Two SSD accessories for use outside your house are available. Install external sirens to alert your neighbours in case of break-in, fire, or personal emergency. Also, post yard signs prominently around your property as a deterrent to criminals.

You already know the high cost of having your home broken into. Insurance may reimburse you for your losses, but rarely at the true replacement cost. Then, there are are those personal possessions that simply can't be replaced. In a burglary, they are almost never recovered. Finally, there is your family's peace of mind and sense of well being. How do you recover that?

Protection, on the other hand, comes at its own price. Home security systems are proven deterrent to intruders, but a dealer-installed system can cost well into the thousands. All this is good justification for installing your own security system. The SSD line is made by Linear Corporation, the leading manufacturer of wireless systems for the professional security market. It is comparablein quality and features to a professionally installed system, for a fraction of the price.

Installation is truly easy. Because Linear SSD is wireless, it uses radio frequency instead of wires to carry alarm information from sensors to the system console. No unsighty wires to hide means there's no drilling and no dust. Setting up the system doesn't require special skills. It doesn't even require tools. And assistance is available in many forms-a detailed instruction manual, an installation/operation videocassette, and a 24-hour help line.

Most importantly, and just like professionally installed system, Linear SSD can be monitored round-the-clock by a central station. In any kind of emergency, your system will alert the central station to send for help immidiately. That's the highest level of protection you can arrange for your home and family. You need security, but you don't have to pay a fortune for it. You can do it yourself with Linear SSD.
