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 at least once per year by a qualified fire protection spe Heat 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 compromising its to report a

State and local codes and the contained in the Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors which is made available at no charge all installing dealers This document can be found at http A study by the Federal Management Agency an agency of the United government indicated that smoke detectors may not go in as many as 35 of all fires While fire alarm systems are to provide early warning against fire they do not warning or protection against fire A fire alarm may not provide timely or adequate warning or simply 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 from a developing fire not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors walls a fire alarm signal do not respond to or comprehend meaning of the signal Audible devices such as horns bells can have different tonal patterns and frequencies is the property owner s responsibility to conduct fire drills other training exercises to make people aware of fire signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to signals rare instances the sounding of a warning device can temporary or permanent hearing loss even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or flow Strobes can under certain circumstances cause seizures in Language and instructional requirements must be clearly Studies have shown that certain people even when they with conditions such as epilepsy on any local displays Smoke particles may become stratify and not reach ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air such as air conditioning vents Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reach the detector amount of 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 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 is necessarily best and a given type of detector may provide adequate warning of a fire detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate of fires caused by arson children playing with matches in bedrooms

recom most common cause of life safety system malfunction is maintenance To keep the entire life safety system excellent working order ongoing maintenance is required per manufacturer s recommendations and UL and NFPA stan At a minimum the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be fol Environments with large amounts of dust dirt or high air require more frequent maintenance A maintenance should be arranged through the local manufac representative Maintenance should be scheduled or as required by National and or local fire codes and be performed by authorized professional life safety sys installers only Adequate written records of all inspections Precautions to the following will aid in problem free installation with long term reliability Several different sources of power can be

not attempt to install service or operate this until manuals are read and understood System Re acceptance Test after Software To ensure proper system operation this product be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any pro operation or change in site specific software Re testing is required after any change addition or of system components or after any modification or adjustment to system hardware or wiring All compo circuits system operations or software functions to be affected by a change must be 100 tested In to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently at least 10 of initiating devices that are not directly by the change up to a maximum of 50 devices must be tested and proper system operation verified system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0 49 F and at a relative humidity However the useful of the system s standby batteries and the electronic com may be adversely affected by extreme temperature and humidity Therefore it is recommended that this and its peripherals be installed in an environment with normal room temperature of 15 27 C 60 80 F that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi device loops Most devices cannot tolerate more
