WARNING Please refer to the System Installation Manual for on limitations regarding product use and function and on the limitations as to liability of the manufacturer Manual and higher version 5 O 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 or types of emergencies where it may not provide protection Any system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may to operate as expected for a variety of reasons Some but not all these reasons 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 effectiveness these features It is important that a security system be reviewed to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protec expected Access by Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point circum a sensing device evade detection by moving through an area of coverage disconnect a warning device or interfere with 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 opera If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the batter to fail Even if the batteries have not failed they must be charged good condition and installed correctly If a device operates only AC power any interruption however brief will render that de inoperative while it does not have power Power interruptions any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which damage electronic equipment such as a security system After a interruption 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 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 tempera or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected life While each transmitting device has a low battery moni which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced this moni may fail to operate as expected Regular testing and maintenance keep the system in good operating condition Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or delib jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference System Users user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch pos due to permanent or temporary physical disability inability to the device in time or unfamiliarity with the correct operation is important that all system users be trained in the correct opera of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when system indicates 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 as the fire is in a chimney walls or roofs or on the other side of doors Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on level of the residence or building fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate burning Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed explosions escaping gas improper storage of flammable overloaded electrical circuits children playing with or arson if the smoke detector operates as intended there may be cir when there is insufficient warning to allow all occu to escape in time to avoid injury or death Motion Detectors detectors can only detect motion within the designated ar as shown in their respective installation instructions They can discriminate between intruders and intended occupants Motion do not provide volumetric area protection They have mul beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unob areas covered by these beams They cannot detect motion occurs behind walls ceilings floor closed doors glass parti glass doors or windows Any type of tampering whether in or unintentional such as masking painting or spraying of material on the lenses mirrors windows or any other part of the system will impair its proper operation infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in However their effectiveness can be reduced when the temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detec area Some of these heat sources could be heaters radiators barbeques fireplaces sunlight steam vents lighting and so Warning Devices devices such as sirens bells horns or strobes may not people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening or door If warning devices are located on a different level of residence or premise then it is less likely that the occupants will alerted or awakened Audible warning devices may be inter with by other noise sources such as stereos radios televi air conditioners or other appliances or passing traffic Au warning devices however loud may not be heard by a hear 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 means may be difficult to detect Insufficient Time may be circumstances when the system will operate as in yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner the system is monitored the response may not occur in time to the occupants or their belongings Component Failure every effort has been made to make this system as reliable possible the system may fail to function as intended due to the of a component Inadequate Testing problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance The system should be tested weekly and immediately after a an attempted break in a fire a storm an earthquake an or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the The testing should include all sensing devices keypads alarm indicating devices and any other operational de that are part of the system Security and Insurance of its capabilities an alarm system is not a substitute for or life insurance An alarm system also is not a substitute property owners renters or other occupants to act prudently to or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation of Contents A B E O C O N E N S 1 Installation Unpacking 3 Mounting 3 Wiring
