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. 
•  Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked 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 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 
35% 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  playing  with  matches,  or  arson.  Depending  upon  the 
nature of the fire and/or the locations 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  create  multiple  beams  of  protection,  and  intrusion  can  only  be 
detected  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  spraying 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;  however,  as  the  ambient 
temperature  of  protected  area  approaches  the  temperature  range  of  90°  to  105°F,  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  sound  on  a  different  level  of  the  residence  from  the  bedrooms,  then  they  are  less 
likely to waken or  alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who  are awake may not 
hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, 
or  by  passing  traffic.  Finally,  alarm  warning  devices,  however  loud,  may  not  warn  hearing-
impaired people or waken deep sleepers. 
•  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 appropriately. 
•  This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this 
equipment 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 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. 
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for 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.

Recommendations for Proper Protection 
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices Help 
Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises. 
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors 
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the 
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 
noted below. 
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all 
rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should 
be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor 
family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics 
(finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended. 
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the 
living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage 
rooms, basements and attached garages. 
In addition, we recommend the following: 
•  Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps. 
•  Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly 
or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the 
hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed. 
•  Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable 
heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used. 
•  Install smoke detectors at both ends if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long. 
•  Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room 
where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are 
not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an 
intrusion. 
This Control Complies with NFPA Requirements for Temporal Pulse 
Sounding of Fire Notification Appliances 
Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection 
•  For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to 
a home or premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper 
windows in a multi-level building. 
•  In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system. This will ensure 
that alarm signals can be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the 
communications are out of order (if connected to an alarm monitoring station).
