THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or -
fire. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of
reasons, such as:
l
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm
sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
l
Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not
work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the
batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for
any reason, however briefly.
l
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located
on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence
from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are
awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other
appliances, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired
people.
l
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of
service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
0 While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not
activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with
this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach
the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also
may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not
sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can
sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness
and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
l
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is
designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate
maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all 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 insure their lives and property.
