Simon Security System25 If sirens are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping, in remote parts of the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles. If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed. If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the system. If power to sensors is inadequate or disconnected. If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropri- ate condition can be detected. If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smoke Sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flamma- bles, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions. If telephone lines are out of service. Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per week to be sure sensors, sirens, and phone communica- tions are all working correctly. Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premi- ums, the system is no substitute for insurance.
