WARNING manual contains information on limitations regarding product use and function and information on the as to liability of the manufacturer The entire manual should be carefully read panel will not operate if installed outside of North America See section 1.1 for details Version 2.3 v1.3 and higher Back Cover for New Features Please Read Carefully to Installers warning contains vital information As the only individual in contact with system users it is your respon to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system em Fai lures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible There are circumstances however fire burglary or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection Any alarm system any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons Some not all of these reasons may be Inadequate Installation security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection Every installation should evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered Locks and latches windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended Windows doors walls ceilings and other materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected A must be done during and after any construction activity An evaluation by the fire and or police is highly recommended if this service is available Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture It is pos for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features It important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected Access by Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point circumvent a sensing device evade detection by through an area of insufficient coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere with or prevent the operation of the system Power Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power for proper operation If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail Even if the have not failed they must be charged in good condition and installed correctly If a device operates by AC power any interruption however brief will render that device inoperative while it does not have Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage equipment such as a security system After a power interruption has occurred immediately conduct complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended Failure of Replaceable Batteries system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal The expected battery life is a function of the device environment usage and type Ambient condi such as high humidity high or low temperatures or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the battery life While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the bat need to be replaced this monitor may fail to operate as expected Regular testing and maintenance will the system in good operating condition Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference System Users user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physi disability inability to reach the device in time or unfamiliarity with the correct operation It is important all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond the system indicates an alarm Smoke Detectors detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of rea some of which follow The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned Smoke not be able to reach the smoke 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 another level of the residence building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning Smoke detectors cannot sense types of fires equally well Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness safety hazards such as smoking in bed violent explosions escaping gas improper storage of flammable overloaded electrical circuits children playing with matches or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death Motion Detectors detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants Motion detectors do not pro volumetric area protection They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in areas covered by these beams They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls ceilings closed doors glass partitions glass doors or windows Any type of tampering whether intentional or such as masking painting or spraying of any material on the lenses mirrors windows or any part of the detection system will impair its proper operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature However their effectiveness can reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or sources of heat in or near the detection area Some of these heat sources could be heaters radia stoves barbeques fireplaces sunlight steam vents lighting and so on Warning Devices devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if is an intervening wall or door If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened Audible warning devices may be with by other noise sources such as stereos radios televisions air conditioners or other appliances passing traffic Audible warning devices however loud may not be heard by a hearing impaired person Telephone Lines telephone lines are used to transmit alarms they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be to detect Insufficient Time may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended yet the occupants will not be protected the emergency due to their inability 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 belongings Component Failure every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible the system may fail to func as intended due to the failure of a component Inadequate Testing problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing maintenance The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break in an attempted a fire a storm an earthquake an accident or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the The testing should include all sensing devices keypads consoles alarm indicating devices and any operational devices that are part of the system Security and Insurance of its capabilities an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance An alarm sys also is not a substitute for property owners renters or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or mini the harmful effects of an emergency situation Warranty Security Controls Ltd warrants the original purchaser that for a period of twelve months from the date purchase the
