W A R N I N G manual contains information on limitations regarding product use and and information on the limitations as to liability of the manufacturer 2.0 Please Read Carefully Failures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible There circumstances however involving fire burglary or other types of emer where it may not provide protection Any alarm system of any type be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a of reasons Some but not all of these reasons may be n n n n Inadequate Installation security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional ensure that all access points and areas are covered Locks and latches on and doors must be secure and operate as intended Windows doors ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and to provide the level of protection expected A reevaluation must done during and after any construction activity An evaluation by the fire police department is highly recommended if this service is available n n n n Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be effective at time of manufacture It is possible for persons with criminal intent to techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features It is im that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its fea remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it not provide the protection expected n n n n Access by Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point circumvent a device evade detection by moving through an area of insuffi coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere with or prevent proper operation of the system n n n n Power Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other security require an adequate power supply for proper operation If a device from batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail Even if the bat have not failed they must be charged in good condition and installed If a device operates only by AC power any interruption however will render that device inoperative while it does not have power Power of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which damage electronic equipment such as a security system After a power has occurred immediately conduct a complete system test to en that the system operates as intended n n n n Failure of Replaceable Batteries system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years battery life under normal conditions The expected battery life is a function the device environment usage and type Ambient conditions such as high high or low temperatures or large temperature fluctuations may the expected battery life While each transmitting device has a low monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced this may fail to operate as expected Regular testing and maintenance will the system in good operating condition n n n n Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam or other inadvertent radio signal interference n n n n System Users user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to or temporary physical disability inability to reach the device in or unfamiliarity with the correct operation It is important that all sys users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they how to respond when the system indicates an alarm n n n n Smoke Detectors detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of fire for a number of reasons some of which follow The smoke detectors may been improperly installed or positioned Smoke may not be able to reach the detectors such as when the fire is in a chimney walls or roofs or on the side of closed doors Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on level of the residence or building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by care or safety hazards such as smoking in bed violent explosions gas improper storage of flammable materials overloaded elec circuits children playing with matches or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be circumstances there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to injury or death n n n n Motion Detectors detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as in their respective installation instructions They cannot discrimi between intruders and intended occupants Motion detectors do provide volumetric area protection They have multiple beams of and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas cov by these beams They cannot detect motion which occurs behind ceilings floor closed doors glass partitions glass doors or win Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such masking painting or spraying of any material on the lenses mir windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area Some of heat sources could be heaters radiators stoves barbeques fire sunlight steam vents lighting and so on n n n n Warning Devices devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may not warn or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence premise then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other sources such as stereos radios televisions air conditioners or appliances or passing traffic Audible warning devices however may not be heard by a hearing impaired person n n n n Telephone Lines telephone lines are used to transmit alarms they may be out of service or for certain periods of time Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to n n n n Insufficient Time may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended yet occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inabil to respond to the warnings in a timely manner If the system is moni the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their n n n n Component Failure every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as pos the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a compo n n n n Inadequate Testing problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as can be found by regular testing and maintenance The complete should be tested weekly and immediately after a break in an at break in a fire a storm an earthquake an accident or any kind construction activity inside or outside the premises The testing should all sensing devices keypads consoles alarm indicating devices any other operational devices that are part of the system n n n n Security and Insurance of its capabilities an alarm system is not a substitute for or life insurance An alarm system also is not a substitute for owners renters or other occupants to act prudently to prevent minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation S C O R T C you for purchasing the DSC Escort5580TC module When connected to the main control panel module turns any touchtone telephone local or remote into a fully functional keypad Once
