Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user
are vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance
program to the user as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the
alarm system and its component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program of
frequent testing (at least weekly) to insure the system's proper operation at all times.
While the Vibration Sensor is a highly reliable intrusion detection device it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any
intrusion detection device is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons, such as:
•
Proper operation cannot be ensured if sensors are not installed and adjusted as described in the installation instructions.
•
Vibration Sensors cannot detect vibration or forced entry when the attack; on surfaces disconnected or separated from the
mounting surface of the sensors or outside of their protection range.
•
Mechanical or electrical tampering with the sensor could compromise intrusion detection.
•
Vibration Sensors will not detect intrusion if the control device to which they are connected is not operative (because of lack
of power, malfunction, etc.)
•
Vibration Sensors, like other electrical devices, are subject to component failure. Even though the sensors are designed to
last longer than ten years, the components in them could fail at any time.
Above are cited some of the most common reasons why a Vibration Sensor can fail to detect intrusion. However, this does not imply
that these are the only reasons, and therefore it is recommended that periodic testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with testing of
the entire alarm system, be performed to ensure that the sensors 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.
