System Overview
General
Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Partitioned Security
System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents
the latest in security protection technology today. Ademco is the
world's largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of
premises are protected by Ademco systems.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that
you feel comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least
one Keypad which provides full control of system operation, various
sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection,
plus a selected number of strategically placed 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 shares one physical alarm system
among different users, each with their own requirements. For the
most part, you as a user need not know about other users and their
structure in the system, but from time to time, you may see display
messages which indicate the system is in use by another user. Do not
be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER
PARTITIONS section for additional information.
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
–4–
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
System Overview (cont’d)
bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers will appear on the
display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed),
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always
on 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 your house.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or
"armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system
provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT
and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of
protection while leaving the rest of the system armed. The system
also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening and
closing of 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.

System Overview (cont’d)
Alarms
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 will also be 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).
Speed Key (Macros)
The system can store a string of up to 16 keystrokes, which can be
activated anytime by simply pressing the "D" key. This feature can be
used to make it easy to perform a complicated procedure (such as
going to another partition to bypass a zone), or it can be used to
simplify an everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the SPEED KEY
section for procedures for using this feature.
Using Schedules
Your system may have been programmed with schedules for
automatically arming, disarming and activating various devices
and/or performing other system functions at predetermined times.
Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delaying a
closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming special
user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULES section at the end
of this manual for scheduling related procedures.
Device Timers
The system provides up to 20 "timers" which can be used to control
various devices, such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar
–6–
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
System Overview (cont’d)
in concept to the individual appliance timers that might be purchased
at a department store. The devices that can be controlled are
programmed into the system by the installer. Up to 16 of these
devices can be programmed. Refer to the PROGRAMMING DEVICE
TIMERS section for procedures.
To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and
will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is
authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system
functions in another partition by using the GOTO command. Note
that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer
can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press ✴
followed by the desired partition number (1-8).
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to
another partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad
activity. Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its
original partition.
Master Keypad Operation
A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is
displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about a
certain partition by simply entering ✴ + the desired partition
number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO
command, a user must have access to all partitions.
Self-Help Feature
Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that can be
easily viewed on the alpha keypad's message display screen. This
feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is not
conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system procedure
with which you are not familiar.
–7–
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
System Overview (cont’d)
To view the abbreviated instructions:
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the
description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it.
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for
descriptions of each key function.
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability
Your system may include a 4285 VIP 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.
• Control 4204 relays/Powerline Carrier devices through the #70
Manual Relay Activation mode.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in
a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which
accompanies the 4285 VIP module.

About The Keypads
General
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon
entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm
has occurred during your absence. LEAVE
IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE
from a nearby safe location.
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.
Keypad display back lighting is programmable to always stay on or to
light only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during
alarms and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system
functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME
mode, and when depressing keys to arm and disarm the system (to
acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be optionally
suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to disturb other users
of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.
There are two basic types of keypads – a FIXED-WORD keypad and
an ALPHA keypad. These keypads are available in two styles, shown
as style A and style B, either of which may have been used in your
system. Although different in appearance, both styles are functionally
the same. The keypads on style B keypads are located behind a flipdown cover which can be removed, if desired.
The Alpha Keypad
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) which can display system messages in friendly
English. Abbreviated user's instructions can also be displayed (see
Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These
keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.

About The Keypads (cont’d)
The 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.

Entry/Exit Delays
General Information
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. If programmed, a slow
beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.
Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter
through the designated entrance door. But the system must be
disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur.
The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you 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.
– 15 –
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
Security Codes & Authority Levels
General Information
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a
personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The
security code must be entered when arming and disarming the
system. The authority level defines the system functions that you can
perform.
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to
know your code can be assigned different security codes, and each
user can be given a different authority level. Users are identified by
"user numbers", which are assigned when assigning a user's security
code.
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system
functions within the limits of each code's authority level (a system
armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code),
with the exception of the Operator Level C code. See AUTHORITY
LEVELS section on the following page for detailed information
regarding user authority levels.
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 central station of your situation, if that
service has been provided. The duress code is pre-assigned by the
installer during installation (auth. level 6).
Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to
a central station.
Quick Arming
Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the #
key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the
system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system,
however.
– 16 –
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)
Authority Levels
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can
perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are
certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. In
summary, there are six authority levels, each having certain system
restrictions as shown below.
Level 1 Master:
Can perform all system functions in assigned
partitions, and can add, delete or change
Manager and Operator level users. Master
codes are added by the Installer.
Level 2 Manager:
Can perform system functions in assigned
partitions, and can add, delete or change
Operator level users.
Level 3 Operator A:
Can perform system functions in assigned
partitions, but cannot add or delete other
users.
Level 4 Operator B:
Same as Operator A, except Operator B
cannot bypass zones of protection.
Level 5 Operator C:
Can 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 who has a
need to arm/disarm the system only at
certain times (such as a baby-sitter).
Level 6 Duress:
Can arm and disarm the system, but also
sends a silent panic alarm to the central
station, if that service is connected.
To view your authority level and system capabilities:
1. Enter your code + ✴ + ✴ .
2. The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are authorized to
operate, and your user number and authority level in each
partition.
– 17 –
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes
• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or
HIGHER authority than which he is assigned.
• A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
• A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the
user adding the code has access. (ex. a user with access to only
partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.)
• The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add
A User" procedure. To change a user's authority level, that user
must first be deleted, then added again.
• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the
partition he is assigned.
• User numbers must be entered as 2-digit entries. Single digit user
numbers must be preceded by a "0" (example, 03, 04, etc.). Security
codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
• Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with
any DURESS code.
Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha
keypads in that partition will display "User Edit Mode – Please Stand
By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those keypads will be
ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an alarm and terminate
user entry.
To Exit User Edit Mode
You can exit any of the user edit modes described on the following
pages at any time by doing the following:
1. Press either ✴ or # , or don't press any key for 10 seconds.
2. System returns to normal mode.

Accessing Other Partitions
(GOTO Command and Global Arming)
To Access Another Partition
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and
will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is
authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system
functions in other partitions by using the GOTO command. Note that
only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can
be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition:
READY
1. Enter your security code, then press
✴ + partition number (0-8).
Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its original
partition.
The keypad will remain in the new
AAAA
2. LOG-ON TO
PART. X COMPLETE partition until directed to go to another
partition, or until 2 minutes has elapsed
with no keypad activity.
AAAA = alpha descriptor programmed by
the installer
X = partition number
Global Arming
The Global Arming option may have been programmed for use by
some users. If Global Arming was enabled for use with your security
code, a keypad prompt (message) will appear after pressing one of the
arming function keys (STAY, INSTANT, AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF).
Follow the keypad prompts to continue arming the system. See your
installer for detailed instructions on the use of this feature.
If global arming does not apply to your security code, use the

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)
(GOTO Command and Global Arming)
Master Keypad Operation
A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system
(Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the
need for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various
partitions from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has
occurred.
A description of a typical display follows:
SYSTEM
STATUS
12345678
RRNNA T✴B
The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on
the display. Possible status indications include:
A = Armed Away
M = Armed Maximum
S = Armed Stay
I = Armed Instant
R = Ready
N = Not Ready
B = Bypassed/Ready
✴ = Alarm Memory/Trouble present
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter T +
[Partition No.] (i.e., ✴4). This will allow viewing only of that
partition. In order to affect that partition, the user must log on with
a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of
any partition to log onto the "Master" partition (Partition 9) to view
the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all
partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.
The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault
condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1
(Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:
WHSE DISARMED

as follows:
A. Pulsing fire alarm sounds
B. Steady burglar alarm sounds
C. Trouble sounds
The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master

Programming Device Timers
General Information
Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected
days of the week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers
that can be used to control various devices, such as lights or
appliances. Your installer will have programmed the appropriate
devices into the system (up to 16 devices can be programmed).
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number)
that you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch
lights on at 7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn
on the air conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises
before you arrive at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are
retiring for the night. If desired, different timers can control the same
device. For example, timer 2 could be used Monday-Friday as in the
previous example, and timer 3 could be set to turn the air conditioner
on and off at different times Saturday and Sunday.

Fire Alarm System
(If Installed)
General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed
smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your
Control/Communicator, 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 the alarm.
In Case Of Fire Alarm
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors
sense the problem, go to your nearest Keypad and manually
initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key pair assigned as FIRE
emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down for at
least 2 seconds.
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 entering your code and pressing the OFF key.
To clear the display, enter your code and press the OFF key again.
2. If the Keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the
second OFF sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s)
that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors are not
responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity.
Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke.

Recommendations For Proper Protection
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LOCATION OF FIRE
AND BURGLARY DETECTION DEVICES HELP PROVIDE PROPER
COVERAGE FOR THE PROTECTED PREMISES.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat 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 (NFPA) Standard #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: For minimum protection a smoke detector
should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and
on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in
kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not
normally recommended.
For additional protection 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.

In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker
sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone
sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be
blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside
may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical
appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or
humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is
more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is
located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC
source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire
within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or
an intrusion.
– 56 –
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
Recommendations For Proper Protection (cont’d)
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every
possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would
include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in
a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security
system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring
station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm
signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an
alarm monitoring station).

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:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior
sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants.
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.

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.
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.
6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not
walk upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you.
Clearer air is near the floor.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
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.

Maintaining Your System
Taking Care of Your System
The components of your security system are designed to be as free of
maintenance as possible. However, there are some things you can do
to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition.
1. Test your system weekly.
2. Test the system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE
SYSTEM).
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors
Wireless sensors
may not have
been used in your
security system
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 keypad will display 00.)
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in
most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 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.
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 once approximately every 20-30 seconds,
identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery. If you
do not replace a smoke detector's low battery, the smoke detector may
sound continuously, as if there were a fire alarm.
Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery
replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the
– 59 –
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM
Maintaining Your System (cont’d)
meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery indication is still
fully operational.
Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as
replacement.
Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad
The keypad’s warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF
sequence (code plus 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.

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.
• 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.

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
(continued)
• 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.
