WARNING
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system IS an advanced design security system, It does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of
reasons. For example:
●
●
●
●
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or
disconnect an alarm warning device.
Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without
power, Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly.
Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly,
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or
provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as
s5°/0 of all fires, according to data published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work
are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed 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 also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building, A second floor detector, for example,
may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense
every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards
like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits,
children cJavina with matches, or arson. DerIendino on the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the
detector: evbn ;f it operates as anticipated, may no; prowde sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to
prevent injury or death,
