However, the useful life of the system standby and the electronic components may be adversely by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27O C/ F. that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating device loops. devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the device voltage. Alarm System Limitations automatic fire alarm system – typically made up of detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audi- warning devices and a fire alarm control with remote noti- capability can provide early warning of a developing Such a system, however, does not assure protection property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons: detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A sec- floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or fi
