The importance of well functioning audio equipment isn’t just protecting the investment. A malfunctioning installation can also cause annoyance to customers or even bring about dangerous situations. Life threatening situations can occur if the voice alarm system shuts down. And what about the long queues that might form in front of the cash registers if the public address system in the store or supermarket stops working? What if it isn’t possible to properly communicate with customers through the glass in a petrol station, because of a defective intercom? Or if hearing aid wearers can’t hear the message, due to the induction loop being out of order. It slows down customer service, and in some cases even disables it.
Preferably, one would like a voice alarm system, public address system, intercom system, induction loop or sound installation to operate well at all times. Unfortunately, malfunctioning can’t always be prevented, but it’s possible to reduce it to a minimum. By performing regulair maintenance, the functioning and worth of the system are preserved more. It also expands the lifespan of the equipment and prevents potentially costly repairs.
For most installations Tau advises to carry out maintenance, yearly. Doing so, generally expands the lifespan of the equipment with a couple of years and reduces the rick of malfunctioning to a minimum. The maintenance frequency, of course, depends on the kind of application, the intensity with which the installation is used and the importance of the system to the organisation. Some examples of the possibilities for maintenance:
