DSC PC585 – v2-4ZD – User Manual – English

W A R N I N G manual contains information on limitations regarding product use and function and on the limitations as to liability of the manufacturer. The entire manual be carefully read. Version 2.4ZD Read Car Read Car Read Carefully Read Car Read Car to Installers warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning the attention of the users of this system. 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: n n n n 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, walls, and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and con- to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or 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 time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is im- that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its fea- remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it not provide the 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 insuffi- coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or pre- the proper 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 have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and in- correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctua- which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. Af- a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete sys- test to ensure that the system operates as intended. n n n n Failure of Replaceable Batteries system wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance keep the system 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 permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all sys- users 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 dete
