SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Partitioned Security System.
You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection
technology today.
General
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your system
consists of at least one keypad which provides control of system operation, and includes
various sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus smoke or
combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status
and provides appropriate information for display on the keypad(s) used with the system, and
initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically
transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
A Partitioned System
Simply stated, a partitioned system is a single physical alarm system that provides two
independent areas of protection intended for use by separate users. For the most part, you
need not know about other users and their structure in the system. However, when the system
is set up for 2-partition operation, you may see display messages from time to time which
indicate that the system is in use by another user; this is normal. A partitioned system may
also have a "common zone" area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions.
Refer to the COMMON ZONE OPERATION section for details on using this feature.
Zones
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the
sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices
on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers will appear on the
display, along with a description for that zone (on Alpha display keypads only, if programmed)
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Burglary Protection
Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and
MAXIMUM, and allows you to BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system
armed. You must turn on or "arm" the burglary protection portion of your system before it will
sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the
opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other
sections of this manual for procedures for using these features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Security Codes
Fire Protection
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit security code, known only to
you. You must enter the security code when arming and disarming the system, and when
performing other system functions. As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have
a need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY
CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an
alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important
information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes
from the premises.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders sound, and the keypad displays
the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an
alarm message is also sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused
the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is
cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).
Phone Access &
Voice Response
Capability
Your system may include a voice module that will permit you to access the system via a Touch-
tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access feature will enable
you to do the following:
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the security
system.
• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone, with
voice confirmation provided after each command entry.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual entitled
PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the voice module.
Paging Feature
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the
type of condition that has occurred.
For detailed information, refer to PAGING FEATURE section later in this manual.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever you arm
your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting
off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to
all modes of arming protection. Slow “beeps” will sound throughout the exit delay period, if
programmed.
General Information
Restarting Exit Delay While Armed: Your system may have been programmed to allow you
to restart the exit delay after the system has been armed in STAY mode. This is useful if you
wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming the system and avoids having to
disarm the system and then re-arm it again. If programmed, you can restart the exit delay by
pressing the [✱] key. Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system.
Exit Delay Restart
Active:
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated
entrance door. But you must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm
will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the
system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and
the second may be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to
the keypad to disarm the system.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM
arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on the premises or while away for
extended periods of time.
See your installer for your delay times.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
Exit Alarms
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is
faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and
starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm
sound stops and the message "CANCEL ALARM" or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along
with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring
company. To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the
display, enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior
zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm
monitoring company. The message ""EXIT ALARM" or "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along
with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the alarm, the system must be
disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.
An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes
after the end of the exit delay.
To minimize false alarms
sent to the alarm
monitoring company,
your system may have
been programmed for this
feature. Ask your installer
if "Exit Alarm" is active for
your system.
Exit Alarm Active
COMMON ZONE OPERATION
Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is an area shared by users of
both partitions, such as a foyer or lobby. If so, please note the following:
• The common zone will sound and report alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only
one partition is armed, the system ignores faults on the common zone.
Ask your
installer if a common
zone was assigned.
• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other
partition will not be able to arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is
corrected.
• If either partition is armed and the other is in chime mode, the common zone will not chime.
The common zone will chime if both partitions are disarmed and either is in chime mode.
• Faults on the common zone are displayed on keypads in both partitions.
• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.

ABOUT THE KEYPADS
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a telephone
style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location
of all occurrences.
General
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The
keypads also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in
CHIME mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).
There are two basic types of keypads – a Fixed-Word keypad and an Alpha key-pad (both
described below). Fixed-Word and Alpha keypads are functionally the same, even though
they have different types of displays.
2-Line Alpha Keypad
1-Line Alpha Keypad
2-line Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD which can display
system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom
zone descriptors. The screen displays depicted throughout this manual are examples of
displays that would typically appear on a 2-line Alpha keypad.
1-line Alpha keypads feature a 16-character alphanumeric LCD which can display system
messages in friendly English. Messages are the same as those for 2-line Alpha keypads, but
are displayed one line at a time. To view the second line of the message, simply press the
#
key. To return to the first line, press the
#
again, or wait 3 seconds.
After pressing the key, wait at least 3 seconds before entering a command.
#
Fixed-Word Keypad
Fixed-Word keypads are functionally identical to Alpha keypads, but the LCD display uses
pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.
Fixed-Word keypads are available with two styles of displays, “A” or “B” (see page 11),
depending on keypad used.

PAGING FEATURE
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, a pager will respond to certain conditions as they
occur in your system by displaying a 10-digit code that will indicate the type of condition that has occurred. The
10-digit code will use the following format:
SSSS–EEE–NNN
SSSS will be your particular 4-digit subscriber No. (this same number will always appear at the beginning of the
display on your pager).
EEE will be a 3-digit number that describes the event that has occurred in your system (see explanation below).
NNN will be a 3-digit User or a zone number, depending on the type of event that has occurred.
The 3-digit Event Codes (EEE) that can be displayed are:
911 = Alarm (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the alarm)
001 = Open, System disarmed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)
002 = Close, System armed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)
811 = Trouble (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the trouble)
Example 1. Pager displays: 1 2 3 4 –9 1 1 –0 0 4
This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an Alarm (911), due to zone 4 (004) being
faulted.
Example 2. Pager displays: 1 2 3 4 –0 0 1 –0 0 5
This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an open/disarming (001) by User 5 (005).

SECURITY CODES
General Information
As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have a need to know your code can be
assigned different security codes. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers,"
which are selected when assigning a user's security code. You can assign up to 14 additional
user codes (user numbers 03-16), including the babysitter and duress codes. Note that the
master (primary) user of the system is the only one who can assign codes to secondary (or
temporary) users, and is user number 02; user number 01 is reserved for the installer of the
system.
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with
one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the babysitter
code described below.
Babysitter Code This code can be used to arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system
unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such
as a babysitter) who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The babysitter
code is assigned to user 15. The user of this code should not use the “Quick Arming” feature
described below.
Duress Code
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat.
When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company
of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress code is assigned to user 16.
Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a alarm monitoring
company.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)
General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In
the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate
you security system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the Keypad. An interrupted
sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your
Keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem,
go to your nearest Keypad and press the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as
FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. The
alarm will sound.
In Case Of Fire
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire
Department immediately.
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone descriptor
of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will appear at the Keypad.
Silencing A Fire Alarm
1. Silence the alarm by pressing the OFF key. To clear the alarm display, enter your code and
press the OFF key again.
2. If the Keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, check that

EMERGENCY EVACUATION
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps
are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:
Steps to Safety
1. Plan on your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders warning all occupants.
CLOSET
BEDROOM
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the
door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window, should your
path be unpassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to
the ground.
TH
BA
BEDROOM

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be
used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from
obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room.
KITCHEN
BACK DOOR
BEDROOM
TH

4. Make sure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly
smoke from entering while you escape.
BEDROOM
1ST FLOOR
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool,
open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in.
•
6. In smoky areas, crawl close to floor, hold your breath, and/or cover mouth and nose with
a wet cloth.
•
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
BACK
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your premises, where everyone
can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing.
Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the premises — many die going back.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible.
However, to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition.
Taking Care of Your
System
1. Test your system weekly.
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE SYSTEM ).
Replacing
Batteries in
Wireless Sensors
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects a low
battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke detectors, the optional personal emergency
transmitter, and the optional portable wireless keypad. (A low battery in a portable wireless
keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the wired keypad will display
“00”.)
Wireless sensors
may not have
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications,
provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt lithium batteries provide up to 4 or more years of operation.
Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is used, the number of
signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor.
Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead
to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation.
been used in your
security system
If you have a low battery in a wireless sensor, a low battery message is displayed on the
keypad.
In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also emits a single "chirp"
sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with
the weak battery.
Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement in indicated
sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor causing a low battery indication is
still fully operational.
Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as replacement.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
Silencing Low Battery
Warning Tones at the
Keypad
You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the OFF key, but the keypad's low
battery message display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery condition in
one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor
will send a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as the sensor is activated
(opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the sensor
is not activated, the display will automatically clear within approximately 1 hour.
Routine Care
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do
not slam sensor-protected doors or windows.
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion
sensors and smoke detectors.
• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water
or any other fluid on the units.

GLOSSARY
The following terms are used throughout the manual.
ARM/DISARM: "Armed" simply means that the burglary portion of your system is turned ON and is in a state of
readiness. "Disarmed" means that the burglary system is turned OFF, and must be rearmed to
become operational. However, even in a "disarmed" state, "emergency" and "fire" portions of
your system are still operational.
KEYPAD: This is the area on your Keypad containing numbered pushbuttons similar to those on
telephones or calculators. These keys control the arming or disarming of the system, and
perform other functions which were previously described in this manual.
ZONE: A specific area of protection.
PARTITION: An independent group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones
or users.
BYPASS: To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while leaving other areas operational.
DELAY ZONE: An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to enter or exit (typically, a front
door, back door, or door from the garage into the building). The delay zone allows sufficient
time for authorized entry or exit without causing an alarm. Consult your installer for the entry
and exit delay times that have been set for your system during installation and record them in
the space provided in this manual on page 7.
DAY/NIGHT ZONE: An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication during the disarmed (DAY)
mode and an alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.

CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS (DOC) STATEMENT
NOTICE
AVIS
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies
certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational
and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
L'étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le matériel
homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines
normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications. Le ministère n'assure toutefois pas que le matériel
fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le
raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de télécommunications. Le
matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l'entreprise utilisés pour
un service individuel à la ligne unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d'un
dispositif homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur téléphonique
interne). L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux
conditions énoncées ci-dessus n'empèchet pas la dégradation du service dans
certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunications ne
permettent pas que l'on raccorde leur matériel aux prises d'abonnés, sauf
dans les cas precis prévus par les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.
Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être effectuées pas un centre
d'entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de
télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à
la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à
cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise
en terre de la source d'énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques de réseau
de conduites d'eau s'il y en a, soient raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est
particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-
même; il doit avoir recours à un service d'inspection des installations
électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some
cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: User should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes
the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone
loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The
termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed 100.
L'indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal pour éviter toute
surcharge indique le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordé à
un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit
bouclé peut être constituée de n'importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs,
pourvu que la somme des indices de charge de l'ensemble des dispositifs ne
dépasse pas 100.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC requires the following
statement for your information:
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.
• Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.
• Move the receiver away from the control/communicator.
• Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.
• Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
The user or installer may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: "Interference
Handbook". This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation Instructions or User's
Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the RJ31X (CA38A in Canada)
telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate disconnecting the phones on installation of the system.
Do not disconnect the phone connection inside the control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the
regular phone works correctly after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone lines, the control/communicator
has a problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the control/communicator, there is still a problem on the
line, notify the telephone company that they have a problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any
circumstances (in or out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized
service agency for all repairs.

WARNING! 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
or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn
for a variety of reasons. For example:
•
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm
sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
•
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.
•
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver.
Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is
moved into the path.
•
•
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
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 have been improperly installed and positioned. 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. Moreover,
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. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the
detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in
time to prevent injury or death.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (continued)
•
•
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their
installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple
beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot
detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or
windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of
the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature;
however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the
detection performance can decrease.
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 sound 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 from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing
traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
•
•
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.
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond
appropriately.
•
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 and transmitters 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.
