Instruction manual

1-3
CAUTION: The output of the audio system may not be heard in all cases. Sound can be blocked
or reduced by walls, doors, carpeting, wall coverings, furniture, insulation, bed coverings, and other
obstacles that may temporarily or permanently impede the output of the audio system. Sound is also
reduced by distance and masked by background noise. The output of the audio system may not be
sufficient to alert all occupants, especially those who are asleep, those who are hearing-impaired,
those who are wearing devices that plug or cover the ears, and those who have recently used drugs
or alcohol. The output of the audio system may not be heard by an alert person if the output device is
placed in an area which is isolated by a closed door, or is located on a different floor from the person
in a hazardous situation or is placed too far away to be heard over ambient noise such as, but not
limited to, running water, traffic, air conditioners, machinery or musical appliances
.
If live microphone announcements, audible tones and/or voice messages cannot be readily heard and
understood clearly within the protected areas as intended, it will be necessary to increase the number
and/or sound output intensity of speakers within those areas so that they are heard and understood
clearly when activated
.
Section 1-6 - RF Interference
The SP40/2 panel has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Section 1-7 - General
Each manufacturer's fire alarm control panel and notification appliances operate differently and have
different features. Before specifying, installing, operating, testing, maintaining or servicing a system,
carefully read the installation, operation and testing manual for each piece of equipment and
applicable codes.
