system users it is your responsibility to each item in this warning to the attention of the users of system Failures 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 Inadequate Installation 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 must be secure and operate as intended Windows walls ceilings and other building materials must be of strength and construction to provide the level of pro expected A reevaluation must be done during and after construction activity An evaluation by the fire and or department is highly recommended if this service is Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be at the time of manufacture It is possible for persons criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the of these features It is important that a security 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 Access by Intruders 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 Power Failure 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 Failure of Replaceable Batteries 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 reduce the expected battery life While each transmitting has a low battery monitor which identifies when the need to be replaced this monitor may fail to operate expected Regular testing and maintenance will keep the in good operating condition Compromise of Radio Frequency Wire Devices may not reach the receiver under all circumstances could include metal objects placed on or near the radio or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal System Users 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 in the correct operation of the alarm system and that know how to respond when
