LIMITATIONS OF THE PIR MOTION DETECTOR
While the Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion detection device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any Intrusion Detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons:
•Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can detect intrusion only within the designed ranges as diagrammed in this installation manual.
•Passive Infrared Motion Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can be detected only in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
•Passive Infrared Detectors 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 lenses, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce the detection ability of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
•Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease.
•This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without the appropriate battery installed, or if the battery is weak or improperly connected (i.e., reversed polarity).
•Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical devices, are subject to component failure. Even though this 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 a Passive Infrared 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 conjunction with weekly testing of the entire alarm system, be performed to ensure that the detectors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, 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.
FCC Notice: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful 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:
1)Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,
2)Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,
3)Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4)Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Honeywell may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Customer understands that a properly installed and maintained alarm system 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 THAT THE PRODUCT(S) 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(S), WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER.
