W A R N I N G cid 127 manual contains information on limitations regarding use and function and information on the limitations as to of the manufacturer 3.12 Please Read Carefully to Installers warning contains vital information As the only individual in with system users it is your responsibility to bring each item this warning to the attention of the users of this system Failures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as pos There are circumstances however involving fire burglary other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons Some not all of these reasons may be Inadequate Installation security system must be installed properly in order to provide protection Every installation should be evaluated by a professional to ensure that all access points and areas are Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure operate as intended Windows doors walls ceilings and other materials must be of sufficient strength and construction provide the level of protection expected A reevaluation must done during and after any construction activity An evaluation the fire and or police department is highly recommended if this is available Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be 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 periodically to ensure that its features remain effective that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not the protection expected Access by Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point circum a sensing device evade detection by moving through an area insufficient coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere or prevent the proper operation of the system Power Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other devices require an adequate power supply for proper op If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the to fail Even if the batteries have not failed they must be in good condition and installed correctly If a device op only by AC power any interruption however brief will that device inoperative while it does not have power Power of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluc which may damage electronic equipment such as a secu system After a power interruption has occurred immediately a complete system test to ensure that the system operates 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 Ambient conditions such as high humidity high or low tem or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the ex battery life While each transmitting device has a low battery which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced monitor may fail to operate as expected Regular testing and will keep the system in good operating condition Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices 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 System Users user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch due to permanent or temporary physical disability inabil to reach the device in time or unfamiliarity with the correct It is important that all system users be trained in the operation of the alarm system and that they know how to when the system indicates an alarm Smoke Detectors 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 the of burning Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires well Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking bed violent explosions escaping gas improper storage of materials overloaded electrical circuits children with matches or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be when there is insufficient warning to allow all oc to escape in time to avoid injury or death Motion Detectors 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 They multiple beams of detection and motion can only be de in unobstructed areas covered by these beams They detect motion which occurs behind walls ceilings floor doors glass partitions glass doors or windows Any type tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as mask painting or spraying of any material on the lenses mirrors or any other part of the detection system will impair 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 or there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near detection area Some of these heat sources could be heaters stoves barbeques fireplaces sunlight steam vents light and so on Warning Devices devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may not people or waken someone sleeping if there is an interven wall or door If warning devices are located on a different of the residence or premise then it is less likely that the will be alerted or awakened Audible warning devices be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos televisions air conditioners or other appliances or traffic Audible warning devices however loud may be heard by a hearing impaired person Telephone Lines telephone lines are used to transmit alarms they may be out of or busy for certain periods of time Also an intruder may cut telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated which may be difficult to detect Insufficient Time may be circumstances when the system will operate as yet the occupants will not be protected from the emer due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a manner If the system is monitored the response may not in time to protect the occupants or their belongings Component Failure every effort has been made to make this system as as possible the system may fail to function as intended to the failure of a component Inadequate Testing problems that would prevent an alarm system from oper as intended can be found by regular testing and mainte The complete system should be tested weekly and im after a break in an attempted break in a fire a storm earthquake an accident or any kind of construction activity or outside the premises The testing should include all devices keypads consoles alarm indicating devices any other operational devices that are part of the system Security and Insurance of its capabilities an alarm system is not a substitute property or life insurance An alarm system also is not a for property owners renters or other occupants to act to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an situation of Contents How to use this Manual 1
