meets certain network protective operational and safety requirements Industry Canada does not guarantee the equipment will to the user satisfaction installing this equipment users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local company The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection The customer should aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier Any or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions may give the telecommunications company to request the user to disconnect the equipment should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility telephone lines and internal water pipe system if present are connected together This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves but should contact the appropriate electric inspection or electrician as appropriate Load Number LN assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop is used by the device to prevent overloading The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100 REN 1.4B L de l Canada identifie le mat homologu Cette certifie que le mat est conforme normes de protection d

REN 1.4B REN 1.2 manual contains information on limitations regarding product use and function and information the limitations as to liability of the manufacturer The entire manual should be carefully read W A R N I N G Please Read Carefully Failures system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible There circumstances however involving fire burglary or other types of emer where it may not provide protection Any alarm system of any type be compromised 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 provide adequate pro Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to that all access points and areas are covered Locks and latches on win and doors must be secure and operate as intended Windows doors ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and to provide the level of protection expected A reevaluation must done during and after any construction activity An evaluation by the fire police department is highly recommended if this service is available n n n n Criminal Knowledge system contains security features which were known to be effective at the of manufacture It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop which reduce the effectiveness of these features It is important that 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 protection expected n n n n Access by Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point circumvent a device evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient disconnect a warning device or interfere with or prevent the operation of the system n n n n Power Failure units intrusion detectors smoke detectors and many other security require an adequate power supply for proper operation If a device from batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail Even if the batter have not failed they must be charged in good condition and installed cor If a device operates only by AC power any interruption however brief render that device inoperative while it does not have power Power inter of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which damage electronic equipment such as a security system After a power has occurred immediately conduct a complete system test to en that the system operates as intended n n n n Failure of Replaceable Batteries system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years battery life under normal conditions The expected battery life is a function the device environment usage and type Ambient conditions such as high high or low temperatures or large temperature fluctuations may re the expected battery life While each transmitting device has a low bat monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced this monitor fail to operate as expected Regular testing and maintenance will keep the in good operating condition n n n n Compromise of Radio Frequency Wireless Devices may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam or other inadvertent radio signal interference n n n n System Users user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to or temporary physical disability inability to reach the device in or unfamiliarity with the correct operation It is important that all system be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they how to respond when the system indicates an alarm n n n n Smoke Detectors detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of fire for a number of reasons some of which follow The smoke detectors may been improperly installed or positioned Smoke may not be able to reach the detectors such as when the fire is in a chimney walls or roofs or on the side of closed 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 of Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well Smoke may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness safety hazards such as smoking in bed violent explosions escaping improper storage of flammable materials overloaded electrical cir children playing with matches or arso
