v3.3 International Installation Manual Manual Manual Manual v1.3 manual is in compliance with the requirements of CTR21 This manual contains information on limitations product use and function and information on the as to liability of the manufacturer The entire should be carefully read Please Read Carefully to Installers to Installers to Installers to Installers warning contains vital information As the only individual in contact with system users it is responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system Failures Failures Failures Failures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible There are circumstances how involving fire burglary or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected a variety of reasons Some but not all of these reasons may be Inadequate Installation Installation Installation Installation security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection Every instal should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended Win doors walls ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and con to provide the level of protection expected A reevaluation must be done during and after construction activity An evaluation by the fire and or police department is highly recom if this service is available Criminal Knowledge Criminal Knowledge Criminal Knowledge Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness these features It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the expected may enter through an unprotected access point circumvent a sensing device evade detec by moving through an area of insufficient coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere or prevent the proper operation of the system Access by Intruders Access by Intruders Access by Intruders Access by Intruders Power Failure Power Failure Power Failure Power Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other security devices require an ade power supply for proper operation If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the to fail Even if the batteries have not failed they must be charged in good condition and correctly If a device operates only by AC power any interruption however brief will ren that device inoperative while it does not have power Power interruptions of any length are accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a secu system After a power interruption has occurred immediately conduct a complete system test ensure that the system operates as intended Failure of Replaceable Batteries Failure of Replaceable Batteries Failure of Replaceable Batteries Failure of Replaceable Batteries system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under conditions The expected battery life is a function of the device environment usage and Ambient conditions such as high humidity high or low temperatures or large temperature may reduce the expected battery life While each transmitting device has a low battery which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced this monitor may fail to operate as Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a num of reasons some of which follow The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors such as when the fire is in a chim walls or roofs or on the other side of closed doors Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from on another level of the residence or building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning Smoke detectors sense all types of fires equally well Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed violent explosions escaping gas storage of flammable materials overloaded electrical circuits children playing with or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be circumstances when there is insuffi warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death Motion Detectors Motion Detectors Motion Detectors Motion Detectors detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective instructions They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants detectors do not provide volumetric area protection They have multiple beams of detection motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams They cannot detect which occurs behind walls ceilings floor closed doors glass partitions glass doors or win Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking painting or of any material on the lenses mirrors windows or any other part of the detection system impair its proper operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature However their effec can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area Some of these sources could be heaters radiators stoves barbeques fireplaces sunlight steam vents lighting so on Warning Devices Warning Devices Warning Devices Warning Devices devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may not warn people or waken someone if there is an intervening wall or door If warning devices are located on a different level of residence or premise then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened Audi warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos radios televi air conditioners or other appliances or passing traffic Audible warning devices however may not be heard by a hearing impaired person Telephone Lines Telephone Lines Telephone Lines Telephone Lines Insufficient Time Insufficient Time Insufficient Time Insufficient Time telephone lines are used to transmit alarms they may be out of service or busy for certain periods time Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated which may be difficult to detect may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended yet the occupants will not be from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner the system is monitored the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their Component Failure Component Failure Component Failure Component Failure every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible the system may fail function as intended due to the failure of a component Inadequate Testing Inadequate Testing Inadequate Testing Inadequate Testing problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by reg testing and maintenance The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a an attempted break in a fire a storm an earthquake an accident or any kind of construc activity inside or outside the premises The testing should include all sensing devices keypads alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system Security and Insurance
