Part of the work involves servicing and repairing installed installations such as automatic alarms, TV antennas or telephone networks. Then it is important to find out what is wrong by talking to the customer, examining and making measurements with different measuring instruments. When the fault is located, it is rectified and the equipment is set up and tested.

An alarm installer, or alarm electrician and security electrician, installs fire alarms, burglar alarms, TV surveillance systems, access control systems and other safety equipment. They work with most things from planning to assembly, commissioning and technical description of the installation. They also service alarm systems. The work may also include training for the users of the alarm systems. It is therefore important to have knowledge of the laws and regulations that regulate the work with alarms.
