UL 636:2010 free download Holdup Alarm Units and Systems
1.1 These requirements cover holdup alarm systems of the remote-station type intended for installationin banks, stores, cashiers’ cages, pay offices, and the like to provide a means of transmitting a silent callfor help in the event of interior robbery.These systems are divided into the three classes listed in 1.2 andare defined under Extent of Protection, Section 87.
1.2 The three classes are: Bandit-Resisting Enclosure and Alarm，Semiautomatic Alarm,and ManualAlarm.
1.3 A product that contains features, characteristics, components,materials, or systems new or differentfrom those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or of electric shockor injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-productrequirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard.Aproduct whose features，characteristics,components，materials，or systems conflict with specificrequirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard.Revision of requirementsshall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, andimplementation of this standard.

2.4 Terminology
2.4.1 The term “product”as used in this standard refers to all types of holdup alarm units.3 Glossary
3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following definitions apply.
3.2 ALARM INITIATING DEVICE – A switch operated by hand or foot, by key, by removal of currencybills, or by other means to initiate a holdup alarm signal.
3.3 CIRCUITS,ELECTRICAL:
a)HIGH-VOLTAGE – A circuit involving a potential of not more than 600 volts and havingcircuit characteristics in excess of those of a low-voltage power limited circuit.
b) Low-VOLTAGE – A circuit involving a potential of not more than 30 volts AC, rms, 42.4volts DC or AC peak.
c) POWER LIMITED – A circuit whose output is limited as specified in Tables 3.1 and 3.2.Thepower limitation shall be provided by the construction of the transformer, a fixed impedance,anoninterchangeable fuse, a nonadjustable manual reset circuit protective device, or a regulatingnetwork.
