Kidde VM-1 User Manual page 9

Two main causes of system failures are improper installation and poor
maintenance. The best way to minimize these types of system failures is to have
only trained fire alarm system professionals design, install, test, and maintain
your fire alarm system in accordance with national and local fire codes.
Fire alarm systems will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently
cause power interruption, we suggest that you discuss ways to safeguard the
electrical system with your local fire protection specialist.
In the event your VM-1 control panel needs servicing, please contact your
system service provider as soon as possible. Refer to "Service provider
information" on page 40 for their name and contact information.
Intended audience
The intent of this document is to provide the VM-1 life safety system owner with
control panel operating instructions. You may assume that your site-specific
software has been installed and that the final overall system testing has been
completed prior to you using this guide. The extent of your use with panel
buttons, indicators, and menus is dependent upon your access privileges.
