Doss WDA-KIT ALARMFONE User Manual page 2

Update the system if it does not provide the necessary protection that
you require.
6. Insufficient Response
Responsiveness by third parties is outside the control of the alarm
system. Any emergency event reported by the alarm system requires
a response by third parties (eg, ambulance, patrol car, police, etc). The
response may not happen in time to protect property, goods or persons.
Adequate insurance cover for property, goods and persons is regarded
as mandatory.
Inadequate Service Testing
7.
Adequate maintenance,service and testing is also regarded as mandato-
ry; regular testing can identify problems of system failure.The complete
system should be tested at least monthly and immediately after any
major property event (eg, accident, break-in, fire, storm and tempest,
earthquake, building renovation or modification, etc). Refer to the "User
Guide" index for testing instructions.
8. PIR Motion Detectors and False Alarms
PIR motion detectors can only detect movement within the limited areas
and cannot distinguish between individuals and animals. They cannot
detect movement behind partitions (ie, doors, windows, walls, etc); they
operate by detecting changes in temperature and, therefore, when the
temperature rises to near or above body temperature (or there are other
sources of heat(such as barbeques, heaters, direct sunlight, etc)they can
generate false alarms.Open windows resulting in draughts and indoor p-
lant movement, insects and/or cobwebs in/or detectors and pets not be-
ing restricted to areas that are not armed can also generate false alarms.
To reduce the risk of false alarms it is recommended that before turning
on/arming your system that you:
¡ Lock all windows and doors;
¡ Restrict animals to rooms that are not protected by sensors;
¡ Inspect all sensors to ensure they are clear of obstructions and insects
or cobwebs; and
¡ Ensure everyone on the property knows how to cancel false alarms.
Power Failure
9.
Power failure or interruption resulting in voltage fluctuations can damage
electronic systems. After any power fluctuation immediately conduct a
system test to ensure the system is fully operational. Refer to the 'User
Guide' index for testing instructions.
10. Security System Users
All users must be familiar with how the alarm system works and how to
react to alarms (including how to cancel a false alarm).
11. Telephone Line Reliability
The alarm system relies on transmission via the telephone line.Telephone
lines may be busy temporarily out of service, or interfered with.
12. Wireless Devices
Sensor signals may not always reach the Main Unit to initiate an alarm
due to accidental radio frequency interference or jamming.
13. M aintenance/Service
To comply with the relevant Australian Standard and the requirements
of Police for their response to an alarm event and insurance companies
(to qualify for security - monitoring house and contents insurance
discounts) your security system must be tested annually by a licensed
expert. Pleasering the Help Desk to arrange your annual system
test.
