This information is to be filed with the police when the alarm system is initially placed into service and must be revised immediately whenever changes are necessary.

B. 

Audible alarms must be silenced within 60 minutes after a designated responsible person is notified to do so by the police, or the alarm system may be equipped with a timing device that will automatically silence the audible alarm within 60 minutes after it is actuated.

It shall be the responsibility of all persons, entities, firms, corporations or other groups that maintain alarm systems within the Borough to prevent the transmission of false alarms through the program of training and periodic inspection and maintenance of the system. The maximum permissible number of false alarms from any one location shall be as follows: two false alarms in any thirty-day period or eight false alarms in any one-year period. False alarms in excess of these standards shall be considered to be in violation of this chapter.
