TO THE INSTALLER

Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by

the installer and frequent testing by the user are vital to

continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.

The

installer

should

assume

the

responsibility

developing and offehng a regular maintenance program to

the user, as well as acquainting the user with the proper

oDerafion and limitations of the alarm svstem and its

component pafls. Recommendations must be included for

a specific program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to

insure the system's operation at all times.

WARNiNG!

THE LIMITATIONS OF VOUR

MICROWAVE/PASSIVE

INFRARED MOTION

DETECTOR

WMle this Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion

detection device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against

burglary.

Any

Intrusion

Detection

device

is su~ect

compromise or failure to warn for a vaflety of reasons. For

example

. These Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion witbn the

designed ranges as ~agrammed

in this installation manual.

. The passive infrared sensor in this Motion Detector does not

provide volumetric area protection. It does create multiple

beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in

unobstru@ed areas covered by those beams.

~ Passive lnf~ared Detectors can not detect motion or intrusion

that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors,

glass patitions, glass doors, or windows.

. Metal objects (or other reflectors, such as foil faced insu.

Iation or water in bottles) ca" alter the microwave sensors

protection pattern.

. Mechznicai tampering, roasting, painting oc spraying of any

matetial on the lenses, windows or any pati of the optical

system can reduce the detection ablity

of the Passive

I"frared Motion Detector,

. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes i" temperature;

however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area

appr02ches the temperature range of 90" to 1050F (32" to

40°C), the detection pedorma"ce can decrease.

. This Detector will not operate without appropriate DC power

connected to It, or if the DC power is improperly connected

~.e., reversed polati~ co"necfions).

. These Detectors, Uke other electrical devices, are subject to

component failure. Even though ttis equipment is designed

to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components in it

could fail at any time.

We have cited some of the most common reasons that this

Motion Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does

not imply that these are the only reasons, and therefore it is

recommended

that weekly

testing of this type of unit, in

cTniGEction" "w7tK"weekly test!ng of !he efiti"realarm System, be"

performed to ensure that the detectors ars wo~ting properly.

Installing an alarm system may make the owner efigible for a

lower Insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a s"bstit"te for

,ns"ca"ce. Homeowners,

propetiy owners and ?e"ters should

continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue

to insure their lives and prope fly.

We continue to de"elop "ew and improved protection devices,

Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved

ones to learn about these developments.

STATEMENT

The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the

equipment unless authorized by the Installation Instructions
