PC4401 DVACS Module Installation Guide 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 warning contains vital information As the only individual in contact with system users it is your to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system Failures 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 of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of Some but not all of these reasons may be security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection Every installation be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended Windows doors walls and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level protection expected A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity An eval by the fire and or police department is highly recommended if this service is available system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture It is for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected may enter through an unprotected access point circumvent a sensing device evade detection moving through an area of insufficient coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere with or the proper operation of the system units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate supply for proper operation If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail if the batteries have not failed they must be charged in good condition and installed correctly If a operates only by AC power any interruption however brief will render that device inoperative it does not have power Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctua which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system After a power interruption has immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under nor conditions The expected battery life is a function of the device environment usage and type Ambi conditions such as high humidity high or low temperatures or large temperature fluctuations may the expected battery life While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identi when the batteries need to be replaced this monitor may fail to operate as expected Regular testing maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary disability inability to reach the device in time or unfamiliarity with the correct operation It is that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know to respond when the system indicates an alarm detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of some of which follow The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned may not be able to reach the smoke detectors such as when the fire is in a chimney walls or or on the other side of closed doors Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another of the residence or building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning Smoke detectors cannot all types of fires equally well Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by or safety hazards such as smoking in bed violent explosions escaping gas improper stor of flammable materials overloaded electrical circuits children playing with matches or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be circumstances when there is insufficient to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installa instructions They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants Motion detectors not provide volumetric area protection They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams They cannot detect motion which occurs walls ceilings floor closed doors glass partitions glass doors or windows Any type of tamper whether intentional or unintentional such as masking painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature However their effective can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area Some of these heat sources be heaters radiators stoves barbeques fireplaces sunlight steam vents lighting and so on devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping there is an intervening wall or door If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence premise then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened Audible warning devices be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos radios televisions air conditioners or appliances or passing traffic Audible warning devices however loud may not be heard by a hear person telephone lines are used to transmit alarms they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means may be difficult to detect may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended yet the occupants will not be pro from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner If the sys is monitored the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible the system may fail to as intended due to the failure of a component problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular and maintenance The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break in attempted break in a fire a storm an earthquake an accident or any kind of construction activity or outside the premises The testing should include all sensing devices keypads consoles alarm devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system Warranty Security Controls Ltd warrants the
