warning to the attention of the users of this system Failures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible are circumstances however involving fire burglary or other of emergencies where it may not provide protection Any alarm of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to as expected for a variety of reasons Some but not all of these may be Inadequate Installation security system must be installed properly in order to provide protection Every installation should be evaluated by a se professional to ensure that all access points and areas are cov Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and as intended Windows doors walls ceilings and other build materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to pro the level of protection expected A reevaluation must be done and after any construction activity An evaluation by the fire police department is highly recommended if this service is Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be ef at the time of manufacture It is possible for persons with intent to develop techniques which reduce the effective of these features It is important that a security system be re periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide protection expected Access by Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point circumvent sensing device evade detection by moving through an area of insuf coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere with or the proper operation of the system Power Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other devices require an adequate power supply for proper opera If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the batteries fail Even if the batteries have not failed they must be charged in condition and installed correctly If a device operates only by power any interruption however brief will render that device while it does not have power Power interruptions of any are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may dam electronic equipment such as a security system After a power has occurred immediately conduct a complete system to ensure that the system operates as intended Failure of Replaceable Batteries system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide years of battery life under normal conditions The expected life is a function of the device environment usage and type conditions such as high humidity high or low temperatures large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which iden when the batteries need to be replaced this monitor may fail to as expected Regular testing and maintenance will keep the in good operating condition 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 or other inadvertent radio signal interference System Users user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possi due to permanent or temporary physical disability inability to the device in time or unfamiliarity with the correct operation It important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system an alarm Smoke Detectors detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert of a fire for a number of reasons some of which follow smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or posi Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors such when the fire is in a chimney walls or roofs or on the other side closed doors Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires another level of the residence or building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the of burning Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires well Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in violent explosions escaping gas improper storage of flam materials overloaded electrical circuits children playing matches or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be circum when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to in time to avoid injury or death Motion Detectors detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas shown in their respective installation instructions They cannot dis between intruders and intended occupants Motion detec do not provide volumetric area protection They have multiple of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed covered by these beams They cannot detect motion which oc behind walls ceilings floor closed doors glass partitions glass or windows Any type of tampering whether intentional or un such as masking painting or spraying of any material on lenses mirrors windows or any other part of the detection system impair its proper operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tem However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambi temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection Some of these heat sources could be heaters radiators stoves fireplaces sunlight steam vents lighting and so on 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 resi or premise then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted awakened Audible warning devices may be interfered with by noise sources such as stereos radios televisions air condition or other appliances or
