Warning Alarmed Premises Sign – Security & Intrusion Warning | A5, A4, A3 | Easi-Signs

Secure Your Property with the Warning Alarmed Premises Sign

The Warning alarmed premises sign is an essential component of any comprehensive security strategy. Featuring a high-visibility yellow background and a clear black pictogram, this sign serves as a powerful deterrent to unauthorized individuals. The pictogram depicts a person triggering a sensor—often referred to as an active motion detection sign—which instantly communicates that the area is monitored by electronic surveillance or alarm systems. By clearly stating “Warning alarmed premises,” you provide an immediate psychological barrier to intruders, letting them know that their presence has already been or will soon be detected.

At Easi-Signs, we understand that security is not just about the hardware you install inside your building; it starts with the message you project outside. This sign follows the standard health and safety color coding for warning signs, ensuring it is recognized instantly by visitors, staff, and potential trespassers alike. Whether you are protecting a warehouse, an office complex, or a private residence, this signage acts as a 24/7 silent sentry for your property.

The Importance and Necessity of Security Signage

Implementing security warning signage is a critical step for both legal compliance and practical risk management. In many jurisdictions, if you utilize active alarm systems or motion sensors that may result in a security response, providing clear notification to the public is often a recommended—and sometimes mandatory—practice. It ensures that anyone entering the premises is fully aware of the security measures in place, reducing the likelihood of accidental triggers by authorized personnel and providing a clear warning to those with ill intent.

Furthermore, an intruder alarm warning serves a vital role in crime prevention. Statistics consistently show that properties with visible security signs are significantly less likely to be targeted by burglars or vandals. Criminals look for easy targets; by displaying a professional Warning alarmed premises sign from Easi-Signs, you signal that your facility is well-protected and that the risk of apprehension is high. This simple addition can save your business thousands in potential losses from theft or property damage.

Material Options and Sizing Guide

To ensure maximum effectiveness in any environment, we offer this sign in a variety of sizes and durable materials:

• A5 Size (148 x 210mm): Ideal for smaller entry points, eye-level placement on gates, or individual office doors where a discreet but clear warning is needed.
• A4 Size (210 x 297mm): The standard industry choice for general wall mounting. It provides excellent visibility from a moderate distance and fits perfectly in most commercial settings.
• A3 Size (297 x 420mm): Best suited for large perimeter fences, warehouse exteriors, or high-traffic entrance points where the active motion detection sign needs to be visible from a significant distance.

Our material choices are designed to withstand the rigours of the UK climate:

1. Self-Adhesive Vinyl: A flexible, high-quality sticker material perfect for smooth, clean surfaces like glass windows or metal doors. It is easy to apply and highly resistant to fading.
2. 3mm Rigid PVC Plastic: A robust, hard-wearing option suitable for both internal and external walls. This material can be easily drilled for screw mounting or attached with heavy-duty adhesive tape. It is UV-stable and weather-resistant, ensuring your security warning signage remains legible for years.

Strategic Placement for Maximum Compliance

For your intruder alarm warning to be effective, strategic placement is key. We recommend installing these signs at every primary and secondary access point, including front gates, loading bays, and side fire exits. To comply with best practices, signs should be mounted at eye level (approximately 1.5 to 1.7 meters from the ground) to ensure they fall directly into the line of sight of anyone approaching the building.

If your facility uses PIR sensors or beam detectors, placing the Warning alarmed premises sign near these specific active motion detection sign zones can further reinforce the message that the technology is live and functional. Consistency is vital; ensuring that the same high-quality signage is used across your entire site creates a professional image and reinforces your commitment to safety and security. Trust Easi-Signs to provide the durable, compliant, and highly visible signage you need to protect what matters most.
