LIMITATIONS OF THIS SYSTEM 
 
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  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 ope nings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor 
or disconnect an alarm warning device. 
  Intrusion  detectors  (e.g.  passive  infrared  detect ors),  smoke  detectors,  and  many  other  sensing  devic es  will  not  work 
without power.  Battery operated devices will  not wo rk  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. 
  Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be bloc ked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if 
the  signal  path  has  been  recently  checked  during  a  weekly  test,  blockage  can  occur  if  a  metal  object  is  moved  into  the 
path. 
  A user may not be able to reach a panic or emerge ncy button quickly enough. 
  While  smoke  detectors  have  played  a  key  role  in  r educing  residential  fire  deaths  in  the  United  States,  they  may  not 
activate  or  provide  early  warning  for  a  variety  of  reasons  in  as  many  as  35%  of  all  fires,  according  t o  data  published  by 
the  Federal  Emergency  Management  Agency.  Some  of  th e  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 smok e cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, 
or  on  the  other  side  of  closed  doors.  Smoke  detecto rs  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  sen se  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,  overl oaded  electrical  circuits,  children  playing  with  matches,  or  arson. 
Depending  upon  the  nature  of  the  fire  and/or  the  lo cations  of  the  smoke  detectors,  the  detector,  even if  it  operates  as 
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to  allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. 
  Passive  Infrared  Motion  Detectors  can  only  detect   intrusion  within  the  designed  ranges  as  diagrammed   in  their 
installation  manual.  Passive  Infrared  Detectors  do  not  provide  volumetric  area  protection.  They  do  cre ate  multiple 
beams  of  protection,  and  intrusion  can  only  be  dete cted  in  unobstructed  areas  covered  by  those  beams.  They  cannot 
detect  motion  or  intrusion  that  takes  place  behind  walls,  ceilings,  floors,  closed  doors,  glass  partitions,  glass  doors,  or 
windows.  
  Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or sprayin g of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical 
system  can  reduce  their  detection  ability.  Passive  Infrared  Detectors  sense  changes  in  temperature;  ho wever,  as  the 
ambient  temperature  of  protected  area  approaches  th e  temperature  range  of  90°  to  105°F,  the  detection performance 
can decrease. 
  Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or ho rns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the 
other  side  of  closed  or  partly  open  doors.  If  warni ng  devices  sound  on  a  different  level  of  the  reside nce  from  the 
bedrooms, then they  are less  likely to waken or  ale rt people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are   awake  may not 
hear  the  warning  if  the  alarm  is  muffled  from  a  ste reo,  radio,  air  conditioner  or  other  appliance,  or by  passing  traffic. 
Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may n ot warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleep ers. 
  Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm 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 intrude rs. 
  Even  if  the  system  responds  to  the  emergency  as  i ntended,  however,  occupants  may  have  insufficient  time  to  protect 
themselves  from  the  emergency  situation.  In  the  cas e  of  a  monitored  alarm  system,  authorities  may  not  respond 
appropriately. 
  This equipment, like other electrical devices, is  subject to component failure. Even though this equ ipment is designed to 
last as long as 10 years, the electronic components  could fail at any time. 
The  most  common  cause  of  an  alarm  system  not  functi oning  when  an  intrusion  or  fire  occurs  is  inadequate  maintenance. 
This alarm system should be tested weekly to make s ure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. 
Installing  an  alarm  system  may  make  one  eligible  fo r  lower  insurance  rates,  but  an  alarm  system  is  not  a  substitute  for 
insurance.  Homeowners,  property  owners  and  renters  should  continue  to  act  prudently  in  protecting  themselves  and 
continue to insure their lives and property. 
We  continue  to  develop  new  and  improved  protection  devices.  Users  of  alarm  systems  owe  it  to  themselves  and  their  loved 
ones to learn about these developments.
