Note

Although having an alarm system can make you eligi- ble for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance.

Alarm System Limitations

Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental emergencies. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to- warn, for a variety of reasons including:

If sirens are not placed within range of persons sleeping, in remote areas of the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles.

If intruders gain access through unprotected entry points or areas where sensors are bypassed.

If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting any or all parts of the system.

If power to sensors is disconnected or inadequate.

If freeze, flood, or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the specific con- dition can be detected.

If smoke does not reach a smoke sensor. For example, smoke sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke on building levels different from their installed location. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.

If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone lines are also vulnerable to compromise by any of several means.

Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system once each week to verify sensors, sirens, and phone communications are all working correctly.

!Warning!Security systems and devices cannot compensate you for life or property losses.
