Simon XT User Manual 42 Alarm system limitations Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental problems. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. • 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 appropriate condition can be detected. • If smoke does not reach a smoke sensor. For example, smoke sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or areas 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 flammables, 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 communication are all working correctly. Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance. Emergency planning Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop plans to help prepare for a variety of emergency situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans to include the following: • Understand how to use your security system. • Know the normal state of doors and windows: open, closed, or locked. • Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.) • Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch. • Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape. • Meet at a designated outdoor location. • Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire. • Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone. • Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they hear sirens in the house. • If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s phone. WARNING: Security system devices cannot compensate you for the loss of life or property.
Appendix A Reference information43 Smoke and heat detector locations Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of smoke alarms. Figure 5 shows some typical floorplans with recommended smoke and heat detector locations. Use these location guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of false alarms: • Before mounting alarms, program (learn) them into memory and do a sensor test from the alarm’s intended location to ensure good RF communication to the panel. • Locate the alarm in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature range is between 40 and 100°F (5 and 38°C) and the humidity is between 0 and 90% noncondensing. • Locate alarms away from ventilation sources that can prevent smoke from reaching the alarm. • Locate ceiling mounted alarms in the center of the room or hallway, at least 4 in. (10 cm) away from any walls or partitions. • Locate wall mounted alarms so the top of the alarm is 4 to 12 in. (10 to 31 cm) below the ceiling. • In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate alarms 3 ft. (0.9 m) down or away from the highest point of the ceiling. • When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fasteners to prevent tile removal. Note: Do not mount the alarm to the metal runners of suspended ceiling grids. The metal runners can draw the magnet’s f ield away from the alarm’s reed switch and cause a false tamper alarm.
