System Overview

Introduction

Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Security System. You've

made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection

technology today. This system provides:

• Three forms of protection: burglary, fire* and emergency

• At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status

• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection

• Smoke or combustion detectors* designed to provide early warning in case of fire.

Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status

messages over the phone lines to a Central Monitoring Station.

* Commercial installations and some residential systems may not include fire

protection – check with your installer.

NOTE: The features and procedures described in this manual apply to the

FA168CPS/FA168CPSSIA (referred to as FA168CPS) and FA148CP/FA148CPSIA

(referred to as FA148CP) security systems. Differences are noted where applicable.

System Basics

Bu r gla r y P r otection

• Several modes of burglary protection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant, Maximum.

STAY: arms perimeter zones only and entry delay is on

INSTANT: same as STAY, except entry delay is off

NIGHT-STAY: arms perimeter zones and selected interior zones; entry delay on

AWAY: arms perimeter and all interior zones, entry delay is on

MAXIMUM: same as AWAY, except entry delay is off

• You can BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed.

• CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and windows while the

system is disarmed.

F ir e P r otection

• Fire protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire

condition is detected

• If programmed, you can manually initiate a fire alarm using the keypad.

• Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for information regarding fire protection,

smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes.

Secu r ity Cod es

• You were assigned a 4-digit security code (master code) during installation.

• Use your security code when arming and disarming the system, and when

performing other system functions.

• Other users can be assigned different security codes, each with different

authority levels, which define the system functions a particular user can perform.

System Overview (Continued)

Zon es a n d P a r tition s

• The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are

specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).

• Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition

occurs on a sensor.

• Partitions (FA168CPS) provide two independent areas of protection, with each

partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without

affecting other zones or users.

• Partitioned systems (FA168CPS) can include a common zone area, which is an

area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).

Ar m in g, Step -Ar m in g a n d Disa r m in g Bu r gla r y P r otection

• The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.

• To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the desired arming key.

• If programmed, you can press the [#] key in place of your security code when

arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY]

to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY]).

• You can use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets

you arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly.

• To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the [OFF] key.

Ala r m s

• When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and

the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.

• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message is

also sent. (Dela yed R ep or tin g Note: Message reporting is delayed 30 seconds by

default to reduce false alarms. If desired, this delay can be removed or can be

increased to 45 seconds. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.)

• To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

Mem or y of Ala r m

• 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 (e.g., “FIRE”).

• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be

cleared with another “off” sequence.

F u n ction Keys

• The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform

various functions.

• Functions include: activate a Panic alarm; arm the system; provide step arming;

switch lights on/off; send a message to a pager; display Time/Date; start a Macro.

Sch ed u lin g

• Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g.,

arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.

System Overview (Continued)

P h on e Access

• If included, a Phone Module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone

phone, either on-premises or by calling-in when away.

• You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the

status of the security system.

• You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands

remotely via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command.

• Refer to the P h on e Access User 's Gu id e supplied with the Phone Module for

information regarding the use of this feature.

P a gin g F ea tu r e

• If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition

messages to up to four (FA168CPS) or two (FA148CP) pagers.

• The system can also automatically alert a pager if the system has not been

disarmed by a certain time (e.g., can let you know a child has not arrived home).

• You can also manually send a message to designated pagers.

Using the Voice Message Center (if Voice Keypad is installed)

About The Keypads

General Information

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the

following:

• A telephone style (digital) keypad

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all

occurrences

• Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also

"beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to

acknowledge the key press).

• Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is

pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This

feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.

IMP OR TANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates

that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the

premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe

location.

Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays,

depending on the type installed with your system.

Alp h a Disp la y

2-line alpha display 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.

F ixed -Wor d Disp la y Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to Alpha

display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-designated

words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

Voice Keyp a d s

Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other

keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following:

• Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for

Open Zones section)

• Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and

windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in

Chime mode section)

• Message center, which lets you record and playback

messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the

System Overview section).

Entry/Exit Delays

Exit Delay

E xit d ela y gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting

off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming

mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When

“You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow

beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which then

changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit delay). If you cannot leave by

this time, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.

E xit Dela y R esta r t . If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after

arming STAY, you can re-start the exit delay at any time – sim p ly p r ess th e [✱]

k ey, then let that person in (the perimeter zones remain armed). The system

automatically re-arms the entry/exit door when exit delay expires, which avoids

having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again. In addition, when the system

is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door before exit delay time

expires (e.g., reentering to get a forgotten item) will reset the exit delay time once.

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the

designated entrance door. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for

your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a

longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.

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. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 15 seconds

if an invalid code is entered.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or

MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on the

premises or while away for extended periods of time.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or

Entry/Exit Delays (Continued)

Exit Alarms

E xit E r r or Con d ition s

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior

zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (e.g., exit door left open),

the system sounds an alarm and starts the en tr y delay timer. If you disarm the

system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "ALARM

CANCELED " or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number

indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.

To clea r th e exit er r or con d ition , 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 the faulted zone

remains open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the

Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). 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.

Your system may have been programmed for this feature to minimize false alarms sent to the Central Monitoring

Station. Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm" is active in your system. If so, check this box.

F A168CP SSIA/F A148CP SIA: The Exit Error condition works the same as described above,

except that in addition to the “EXIT ALARM” message, a “zone alarm” message is also sent to

the Central Monitoring Station. In addition, if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted

within two minutes after the end of the exit delay, a “Recent Closing” condition occurs instead of

the “exit alarm.” Refer to the next paragraph for details.

“Recen t Closin g” Con d ition (F A168CP SSIA/F A148CP SIA)

A Recent Closing condition is similar to the Exit Error condition described above, but occurs if

an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes a fter the initial exit delay

expires. If you disarm the system within the two minutes, the alarm sound stops and the

message "ALARM CANCELED " or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number

indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.

If you do not disarm the system within two minutes and the faulted zone remains open, the

alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a “zone alarm” message are sent to the

Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). The alarm

message along with a faulted zone number is displayed on the keypad. 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.

Arming the System

Stay Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay On

• Used when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have

pets that are moving throughout the premises).

• The perimeter sensors are armed, but interior sensors are left disarmed.

• Exit delay begins (you can leave through the entry/exit door, if desired).

• An alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.

• You may otherwise move freely within the premises.

• Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm

the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

Night-Stay Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Plus Selected Zones

• Use Night-Stay mode to provide increased security while staying inside.

• Arms same as Stay mode, but also arms pre-selected interior sensors (programmed

by your installer), while other interior sensors are left disarmed.

• Persons entering later can use entry/exit doors but they must disarm the system a n d

must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an alarm.

• IMPORTANT: When Night-Stay mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed and cause an

alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the night). To avoid sounding an

alarm, you must disarm the system before any activity takes place in those interior zones.

Instant Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay Off

• Used when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.

• Arms same as Stay mode.

• An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is

opened, including entry/exit doors.

• IMPORTANT: Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use extreme

care in selecting this mode of arming.

Away Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay On

• Used when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).

• The entire system (interior and perimeter) is armed.

Arming the System

Single Button Arming

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for

single-button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for

arming (by using the Quick Arm method described previously), a security code must

always be used when manually disarming the system.

If Single-Button Arming is programmed:

• A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode,

Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming

paragraph).

• You DO NOT need to enter your security code before pressing the function key

(but you always need your security code to DISARM the system).

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

Using the Keyswitch

Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming.

Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as

follows:

Gr een Ligh t: Lights when the system is d isa r m ed a n d r ea d y to be armed (no

open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it

indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open).

Bypassing Protection Zones

Using the BYPASS Key

Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally

unprotected.

Ven t Zon es: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are

automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to

manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed a fter arming, it

becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.

When bypassing zones:

• The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.

• Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.

• The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.

• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.

Macro Key Programming & Usage

About Macro Keys

The “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” keys can be used to automatically activate a series of

commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes,

as a group, are called “macros” and are stored in the system's memory.

• Typical macro functions can include:

- Arming sequences: STAY, Night-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY

- Bypassing particular zone(s)

- Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc.

• Up to four (FA168CPS) or two (FA148CP) macros can be assigned – but no

more than one macro to a key.

• Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to

perform the macro’s function.

NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key before macros can be

assigned. See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

Paging Feature

About Automatic Paging

Your system may be set up to automatically send alert messages to several pagers (up

to four for FA168CPS, up to two for FA148CP) as certain conditions occur in your

system.

• The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers:

arming and disarming^†, alarms, and trouble conditions. († reports when

arming/disarming from a keypad using a security code; auto-arming/disarming,

arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming do not send pager messages.)

• You can also program the system to send an automatic pager message to alert you

in the event that someone has not arrived home (disarmed the system) within a

defined period of time (see the Sch ed u lin g section for details on programming a

“latch key report”).

• Your installer programs the pager phone numbers and reporting events.

• The pager message consists of a 7-digit system status code that indicates the type of

condition that has occurred.

• An optional, predefined 16-digit character string can precede the 7-digit system

status code; these characters can consist of a PIN no., subscriber account no., or any

additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager.

• The pager display format is as follows:

• This message could mean “call home”, “call your office”, or any other prearranged

meaning.

• See the Paging chart at the back of this manual for details of the paging setup for

your system.

Security Codes & Authority Levels

About Security Codes

Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions.

In addition, you can assign different security codes for use by other users (FA168CPS

provides 47 additional codes; FA148CP provides 31 additional codes).

• Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign security codes to users.

• Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers and are pre-assigned to either

partition 1 or partition 2 (FA168CPS).

• Only the System Master can change user partitions.

• In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes.

• Security codes can be used interchangeably within a partition 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 Guest code and Arm Only code described

below.

• Security code programming involves these steps:

1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which

the user will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.

2. Assign an authority level to that user.

3. Assign other attributes as necessary (see attributes on the next page).

NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations.

Therefore, the only step you usually need to do when adding users is assign a user

number (from the partition’s pre-assigned user numbers) and a security code.

Authority Level Definitions

Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform.

Level Title

Exp la n a tion

N/A

System Master

(default = 1234)

Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign codes in

both partitions; can change its own code as follows:

Master code + [8] + 02 + new master code + new master code again

Standard User

Can only perform security functions in assigned partition.

Cannot perform system functions reserved for the master user.

Arm Only

Guest

Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.

Can arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system

u n less the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to

someone (e.g., babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm the system

only at certain times. The user of this code should n ot use the “Quick Arming”

feature.

Duress Code

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

Central Monitoring Station of your situation, if that service has been provided.

Partition Master (FA168CPS) Can do everything a standard user can do, and

can assign security codes to users in their partition.

Accessing Other Partitions (FA168CPS)

(GOTO Command and Multi-Partition Arming)

About Accessing Partitions

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only

that partition's information.

• If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform

system functions in the other partition by using the GOTO command. Refer to

the GOTO section.

• If the user is authorized, that user can arm other partitions. Refer to the Multi-

Partition Arming section.

The following table shows the relationship of the keypads in each partition when

system is armed and disarmed.

When both partitions are disarmed, the keypad in each partition displays zone

status for its partition only. The common zone keypad shows the status in that

zone only. See Condition 1 above.

When partition 1 is disarmed and partition 2 is armed, the keypad in partition 1

shows the status of partition 1 a n d the common zone. Partition 2 will display the

status of partition 2 on ly. See Condition 2 above.

When partition 1 is armed and partition 2 is disarmed, the keypad in partition 1

shows the status of partition 1 on ly. Partition 2 will display the status of partition

2 a n d the common zone. See Condition 3 above.

As long as any one of the two partitions is disarmed, the common zone will always

be disarmed. The common zone will be armed only when both partition 1 and 2 are

armed. See Condition 4 above.

Accessing Other Partitions (Continued)

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:

Ask your installer if a

"common zone" was

assigned. If so, check

this box

• The common zone will sound and report alarms only when b oth

partitions are armed. If only one partition is armed, the system

ignores faults on the common zone.

• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is

faulted, but once armed, the other partition w ill n ot be able to

arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is

corrected.

• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common partition

keypads, and will also appear on another partition’s keypad when

the alternate partition is armed.

• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an

alarm.

• Entry/exit time for the common zone is the same as for partition 1.

inside the control. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phones work

correctly after the control has been disconnected from the phone wall jack, the control has a

problem and you should immediately call for service. If upon disconnection of the control, there is

still a problem on the phone line, notify the Telephone Company that they have a problem and

request prompt phone repair service. The user may not under any circumstances attempt any

service or repairs to the security system. Repairs must be made only by authorized service (see

the LIMITED WARRANTY statement for information on how to obtain service).

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, do the following:

1. Test your system weekly.

2. Test your system after any alarm occurs.

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

wireless sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one,

the sensor sends 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.

Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The

system detects a low battery in wireless sensors, including smoke

detectors, the personal emergency transmitter, and the portable

wireless keypad and displays a low battery message*. (A low battery in

a portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is

pressed, and displayed as 00.). Battery-operated smoke detectors with

a low battery also emit a single "chirp" sound approximately once

every 20–30 seconds.

Replacing

Batteries in

Wireless Sensors

Wireless sensors

may not have

been used in your

security system

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.

IMPORTANT:

Use only batteries

recommended by

your installer as

replacement.

* 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.

• 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 n ot sp r a y w a ter or a n y oth er flu id on t h e u n its.

Recommendations on Smoke Detectors

With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we

subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection

Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) noted below.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire

detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A

smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the

immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the

family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and

unfinished attics.

In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors

in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic,

furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

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:

OOM

CLOSET

BEDR

1. Position your detector or your interior and/or

exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all

OOM

BEDR

occupants.

BEDR

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 impassable.

Station an escape ladder at such windows if there

is a long drop to the ground.

2^NDFLOOR

OOM

KITCHEN

BEDR

BACK DOOR

OOM

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.

BEDR

1^STFLOOR

•

4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you

are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from

entering while you escape.

•

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.

BACK

6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do

not walk upright, since smoke rises and may

overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.

•

7. Escape quickly; don't panic.

FRONT

8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away

from your house, 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 house — many

die going back

LIMITATIONS OF THIS SYSTEM

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 other

emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for

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.

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.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Honeywell International Inc., acting through its First Alert Professional business ("Seller"), 2 Corporate

Center Drive, New York 11747, warrants its First Alert Professional security equipment (the "product") to be

free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from date of original purchase, under normal

use and service. Seller's obligation is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for parts,

labor, or transportation, any product proven to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use

and service. Seller shall have no obligation under this warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or

improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than the Seller. In case of defect, contact the security

professional who installed and maintains your security equipment or the Seller for product repair.

This one year Limited Warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, obligations or liabilities. THERE

ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF. ANY IMPLIED

WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS

PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR

A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF ONE

YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF ANY

WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF

MERCHANTABILITY, MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL

PURCHASE. IN NO CASE SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL

OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED, OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR

DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT. Some states do not allow

limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Seller does not represent that the product may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product will

prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product will in

all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained

alarm may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring without providing an

alarm, but it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or

property loss as a result. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY

PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT

FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR

OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL

NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT, WHICH SHALL BE THE

COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER. This warranty gives you specific legal

rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. No increase or alteration, written or

verbal, to this warranty is authorized.
