System Limitations - Honeywell LYNX Touch 7000 Owner's Manual

System Limitations

Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary,
fire, or environmental problems. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise
or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
• If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing range of people in remote areas
of the building or in areas which are frequently closed off, their presence may not
provide the protection they are intended to provide.
• If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry, the system will not
detect their entrance.
• If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all
or part of the system, they will not be detected.
• If the ac power supply is off and the back-up battery is either missing or dead,
sensors will not detect intrusion.
• Smoke sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, or roofs, or smoke
blocked by a closed door. They may not detect smoke or fire on a level of the
building different from the one in which they are located. Smoke detectors may not
be able to adequately warn of fires started by explosions, improper storage of
flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other types of hazardous conditions.
• If telephone lines are out of service, signals from the security system to the
security company cannot be sent. Telephone lines are vulnerable to compromise
by several means.
