the signal path has been recently checked during

a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved Into the

~ While smoke detectors have played

a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not acti-

vate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the

Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in canjunctlon with this System may

not work are as folbws, Smoke detectors may have been improperly instalied and positioned. Smoke detectors may not

sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side

of closed doors. Smoke detectors

alsomay not sense afire on another level of a residence or building. A seccrndfloor de-

tector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors

havesensing Iimitations. No

smoke detector

cansense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by

carelessness and safety hazards iike smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable

materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending on the nature of the fire and/or

location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may net provide sufficient warning to allow

all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

o Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagramed in their installation

manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protec-

tion, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or in-

trusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical

tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can re-

duce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient tempera-

ture of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can

decrease.

● Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the

other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bed-

rooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert peopie inside the bedrooms, Even persons who are awake may not hear

the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Fi-

nally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired peaple.

● Telephone lines needed to transmit aiarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or

temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

● Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect

themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropri-

ately.

● This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to

last as long as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This

alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. The security console

(and remote keypad) should be tested as well.

Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide iong battery life under normal operating conditions.

Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless

device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may

all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation,

thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.

Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for

a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for

insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continus

to insure their lives and property.

We cmtinue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm

systems owe it to themselves and their loved

ones to learn about these developments.
