INTELLIKNIGHT 5808 Fire Alarm Panel and Manual 151274 L8 Rev X 151274 L8 X ECN 17 0298 Alarm Emergency Communication System Limitations a life safety system may lower insurance rates it is not a substitute for life and property insurance automatic fire alarm system made up of smoke detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm heat detectors manual pull stations audible warning when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined and a fire alarm control panel FACP with remote notifi or reaches a predetermined level Rate of rise heat detectors capability provide early warning of a developing fire be subject to reduced sensitivity over time For this reason a system however does not assure protection against rate of rise feature of each detector should be tested at least damage or loss of life resulting from a fire per year by a qualified fire protection specialist Heat detec are designed to protect property not life emergency communication system made up of Smoke detectors must be installed in the same automatic fire alarm system as described above and a life communication system that may include an autonomous as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for unit ACU local operating console LOC voice commu connection of alarm transmission wiring communications sig and other various inter operable communication meth and or power If detectors are not so located a developing broadcast a mass notification message Such a system may damage the alarm system compromising its ability to does not assure protection against property damage or a fire of life resulting from a fire or life safety event warning devices such as bells horns strobes and displays may not alert people if these devices are Manufacturer recommends that smoke and or heat detectors located throughout a protected premises following the on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are of the current edition of the National Fire on another floor of a building Any warning device may fail Association Standard 72 NFPA 72 manufacturer alert people with a disability or those who have recently con State and local codes and the drugs alcohol or medication Please note that contained in the Guide for Proper Use of An emergency communication system may take priority over a 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 States indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as as 35 of all fires While fire alarm systems are designed to early warning against fire they do not guarantee warning protection against fire A fire alarm system may not provide or adequate warning or simply may not function for a of reasons detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach detectors such as in chimneys in or behind walls on roofs or the other side of closed doors Smoke detectors also may not a fire on another level or floor of a building A second floor for example may not sense a first floor or basement fire of combustion or from a developing fire may reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors walls chim even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke fire alarm signal do not respond to or comprehend the of the signal Audible devices such as horns and can have different tonal patterns and frequencies It is property owner responsibility to conduct fire drills and training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm sig rare instances the sounding of a warning device can cause or permanent hearing loss requirements as defined by NFPA local codes and Having Jurisdiction AHJ Studies have shown that certain people even when they hear Language and instructional requirements must be clearly dis Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligi Strobes can under certain circumstances cause seizures in alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency with conditions such as epilepsy on any local displays Smoke particles may become stratify and not reach the or upper walls where detectors are located Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air out such as air conditioning vents Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching detector amount of present may be insufficient to alarm detectors Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at vari levels of smoke density If such density levels are not created a developing fire at the location of detectors the detectors will go into alarm detectors even when working properly have sensing lim Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires which little visible smoke Detectors that have ionizing type sens chambers tend to detect fast flaming fires better than smolder fires Because fires develop in different ways and are often in their growth neither type of detector is necessar best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate of a fire detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warn of fires caused by arson children playing with matches espe in bedrooms smoking in bed and violent explosions by escaping gas improper storage of flammable materi etc life safety system will not operate without any electrical power AC power fails the system will operate from standby batteries for a specified time and only if the batteries have been prop maintained and replaced regularly used in the system may not be technically compati with the control panel It is essential to use only equipment for service with your control panel lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a prem to a central monitoring station may be out of service or tem disabled For added protection against telephone line backup radio transmission systems are recommended most common cause of life safety system malfunction is maintenance To keep the entire life safety system in working order ongoing maintenance is required per the recommendations and UL and NFPA standards a minimum the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed with large amounts of dust dirt or high air velocity more frequent maintenance A maintenance agreement be arranged through the local manufacturer representa Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by and or local fire codes and should be performed by professional life safety system installers only Ade written records of all inspections should be kept Precautions to the following will aid in problem free installation with long term reliability Several different sources of power can be to the fire alarm control panel Disconnect all of power before servicing Control unit and associated may be damaged by removing and or inserting modules or interconnecting cables while the unit is Do 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 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
