For the purposes of this article, an "automatic burglar alarm" or "fire alarm" is
an alarm that provides for a means to notify off-site personnel of a possible emergency
situation without the direct involvement or intervention of people on the site where
the alarm is located. An automatic alarm will generally either sound an audible tone
that can be heard by off-site personnel or provide alarm information to a remote answering
point by means of an automatic dialing system.
