VM-DACT Industry Canada information
Note: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. Industry Canada does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made
by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user disconnect the
equipment.
Caution:
Users should not attempt to make connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Note:
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by
the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirements that the sum of the Load
Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
Fire alarm system limitations
The purpose of an automatic fire alarm system is to provide early detection and
warning of a developing fire. There are a number of uncontrollable factors that
can prevent or severely limit the ability of an automatic fire alarm system to
provide adequate protection. As such, an automatic fire alarm system cannot
guarantee against loss of life or loss of property.
