Worksheets Warranty Please Read Carefully o t e t o I n s t a l l e r s warning contains vital information As the only individual in with system users it is your responsibility to bring each in this warning to the attention of the users of this system y s t e m F a i l u r e s system has been carefully designed to be as effective as There are circumstances however involving fire or other types of emergencies where it may not pro protection Any alarm system of any type may be com deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a of reasons Some but not all of these reasons may be I n a d e q u a t e I n s t a l l a t i o n security system must be installed properly in order to pro adequate protection Every installation should be evalu by a security professional to ensure that all access points areas are covered Locks and latches on windows and doors be secure and operate as intended Windows doors walls and other building materials must be of sufficient and construction to provide the level of protection ex A reevaluation must be done during and after any con activity An evaluation by the fire and or police de is highly recommended if this service is available C r i m i n a l K n ow l e d g e system contains security features which were known to effective at the time of manufacture It is possible for per with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce effectiveness of these features It is important that a secu system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found it does not provide the protection expected Ac c e s s by I n t r u d e r s may enter through an unprotected access point cir a sensing device evade detection by moving through area of insufficient coverage disconnect a warning device interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system P ow e r F a i l u re units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many security devices require an adequate power supply for operation If a device operates from batteries it is pos for the batteries to fail Even if the batteries have not they must be charged in good condition and installed If a device operates only by AC power any interrup however brief will render that device inoperative while it not have power Power interruptions of any length are accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage equipment such as a security system After a power has occurred immediately conduct a complete test to ensure that the system operates as intended F a i l u re o f R e p l a c e a b l e B a t t e r i e s system wireless transmitters have been designed to pro several years of battery life under normal conditions The battery life is a function of the device environment and type Ambient conditions such as high humidity or low temperatures or large temperature fluctuations may the expected battery life While each transmitting de has a low battery monitor which identifies when the bat need to be replaced this monitor may fail to operate as Regular testing and maintenance will keep the sys in good operating condition C o m p r o m i s e o f R a d i o F re q u e n c y Wi re l e s s D ev i c e s may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference S y s t e m U s e r s user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch due to permanent or temporary physical disability to reach the device in time or unfamiliarity with the operation It is important that all system users be trained the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know to respond when the system indicates an alarm S m o ke D e t e c t o r s detectors that are a part of this system may not properly occupants of a fire for a number of reasons some of which The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed positioned Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detec such as when the fire is in a chimney walls or roofs or on other side of closed doors Smoke detectors may not detect from fires on another level of the residence or building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and rate of burning Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of equally well Smoke detectors may not provide timely of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such smoking in bed violent explosions escaping gas improper of flammable materials overloaded electrical circuits playing with matches or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be when there is insufficient warning to allow all to escape in time to avoid injury or death M o t i o n D e t e c t o r s detectors can only detect motion within the designated as shown in their respective installation instructions They discriminate between intruders and intended occupants detectors do not provide volumetric area protection have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be in unobstructed areas covered by these beams They detect motion which occurs behind walls ceilings floor doors glass partitions glass doors or windows Any of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as painting or spraying of any material on the lenses windows or any other part of the detection system impair its proper operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in However their effectiveness can be reduced when ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or the detection area Some of these heat sources could be radiators stoves barbeques fireplaces sunlight steam lighting and so on Wa r n i n g D ev i c e s devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an in wall or door If warning devices are located on a level of the residence or premise then it is less likely the occupants will be alerted or awakened Audible warn devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such stereos radios televisions air conditioners or other appli or passing traffic Audible warning devices however may not be heard by a hearing impaired person Te l e p h o n e L i n e s telephone lines are used to transmit alarms they may be out of or busy for certain periods of time Also an intruder may the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisti means which may be difficult to detect I n s u ff i c i e n t Ti m e may be circumstances when the system will operate as
