Worksheets 8 INSTALLER PLEASE READ CAREFULLY to Installers warnings on this page contain vital information As the only in contact with system users it is the installer responsi to bring each item in this warning to the attention of all users this system Failures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possi There are circumstances however involving fire burglary or types of emergencies where it may not provide protection alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons Some but all of the reasons may be 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 Failure every effort has been made to make this system as reli as possible the system may fail to function as intended due to failure of a component 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 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 your security system be periodically to ensure that its features remain effective that it is updated or replaced if it is found that it does not pro the protection expected 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 may fail to operate as expected Regular testing and main will keep the system in good operating condition 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 to the level of protection expected A reevaluation must be during and after any construction activity An evaluation by fire and or police department is highly recommended if this ser is available 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 that are part of the system Time may be circumstances when the system will operate as yet the occupants will not be protected from an emer due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely If the system is remotely monitored the response may not in time to protect the occupants or their belongings 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 detected unobstructed areas covered by these beams They cannot detect which occurs behind walls ceilings floor closed doors partitions glass doors or windows Any type of tampering intentional or unintentional such as masking painting or of any material on the lenses mirrors windows or any part of the detection 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 are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the area Some of these heat sources could be heaters radia stoves barbecues fireplaces sunlight steam vents lighting so on Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other devices require an adequate power supply for proper oper If a device operates from batteries it is possible for the bat to fail Even if the batteries have not failed they must be in good condition and installed correctly If a device oper only by AC power any interruption however brief will render device inoperative while it does not have power Power inter of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctua which may damage electronic equipment such as a security After a power interruption has occurred immediately con a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as 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 Detectors detectors that are a part of this system may not properly occupants of a fire for a number of reasons some of which fol The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors as when the fire is in a chimney walls or roofs or on the other of closed doors Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from on another 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 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 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 interfered by other noise sources such as stereos radios televisions air other appliances or passing traffic Audible warning however loud may not be heard by a hearing impaired Alarm Communicator
