Online Alarm System Limitations a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates it is not a substitute for fire insurance automatic fire alarm system made up of smoke heat detectors manual pull stations audible warning and a fire alarm control with remote notification capabil provide early warning of a developing fire Such a sys however does not assure protection against property dam or loss of life resulting from a fire Manufacturer recommends that smoke and or heat detec be located throughout a protected premise following the rec of the current edition of the National Fire Protec Association Standard 72 NFPA 72 manufacturer recom State and local codes and the recommendations in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detec which is made available at no charge to all installing deal A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency agency of the United States government indicated that detectors may not go off in as many as 35 of all fires fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning fire they do not guarantee warning or protection against A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate or simply may not function for a variety of reasons detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot the detectors such as in chimneys in or behind walls on or on the other side of closed doors Smoke detectors may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building second floor detector for example may not sense a first floor basement fire of combustion or smoke from a developing fire not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors be Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors walls or may inhibit particle or smoke flow Smoke particles may become cold stratify and not reach ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air detector Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching amount of smoke present may be insufficient to alarm detectors Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at levels of smoke density If such density levels are not by a developing fire at the location of detectors the de will not go into alarm detectors even when working properly have sensing Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing cham tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires have little visible smoke Detectors that have ionizing sensing chambers tend to detect fast flaming fires better smoldering fires Because fires develop in different ways are often unpredictable in their growth neither type of detec is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not pro adequate warning of a fire detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warn of fires caused by arson children playing with matches es in bedrooms smoking in bed and violent explosions by escaping gas improper storage of flammable mate etc detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined or reaches a predetermined level Rate of rise heat detec may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time For this the rate of rise feature of each detector should be tested least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist detectors are designed to protect property not life Smoke detectors must be installed in the same as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for connection of alarm transmission wiring communications and or power If detectors are not so located a devel fire may damage the alarm system crippling its ability to a fire warning devices such as bells may not alert people if devices are located on the other side of closed or partly doors or are located on another floor of a building Any device may fail to alert people with a disability or those have recently consumed drugs alcohol or medication note that Strobes can under certain circumstances cause seizures in with conditions such as epilepsy Studies have shown that certain people even when they hear fire alarm signal do not respond or comprehend the mean of the signal It is the property owner responsibility to fire drills and other training exercise to make people of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper to alarm signals rare instances the sounding of a warning device can cause or permanent hearing loss fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical If AC power fails the system will operate from standby only for a specified time and only if the batteries have properly maintained and replaced regularly used in the system may not be technically compat with the control It is essential to use only equipment listed service with your control panel lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a to a central monitoring station may be out of service or disabled For added protection against telephone line backup radio transmission systems are recommended most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inade maintenance To keep the entire fire alarm system in ex working order ongoing maintenance is required per the recommendations and UL and NFPA standards a minimum the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 shall followed Environments with large amounts of dust dirt or air velocity require more frequent maintenance A mainte agreement should be arranged through the local representative Maintenance should be sched monthly or as required by National and or local fire codes should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm only Adequate written records of all inspections be kept 4010 NION Installation Operation Manual Version 2 Document 51998 Rev A1 03 26 03 Manuals
