The BMS shall be rated for a minimum lifetime of one million operations. 3.2.3.8 Line supervision shall be incorporated to detect any signal cutting, shorting, or splicing of the transmission line. Attempts at gaining access to, or substitution or neutralization of any sensor shall be detected and signaled. An alarm shall be indicated at the alarm control center within one second of a line tamper attempt. Dedicated terminal junction boxes for sensor inputs and connecting cables shall be securely welded or locked and provided with tamper switches. Junction boxes containing phone lines, which carry alarm system signals do not need to be locked, welded, or alarmed. 3.2.3.9 A backup power source, capable of sustaining the system for a minimum of four hours, shall be provided to enable uninterrupted operation. 3.2.3.10 On/off switches shall be located within the protected area. 3.2.3.11 The IDS shall include a central control station where alarms annunciate.
