ADEMCO LIMITED WARRANTY
Alarm Device Manufacturing Company, a Division of Pittway Corporation, and its divisions, subsidiaries
and affiliates ("Seller"), 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, New York 11791, warrants this detector to be in confor-
mance with its own plans and specifications and to be free from defects in materials and workmanship
under normal use and service for 72 months from the date stamp control on the product. Seller's obligation
shall be limited to replacing, at its option, free of charge for materials or labor, a detector which is proved
not in compliance with Seller's specifications or proves defective in materials or workmanship under normal
use and service. Seller shall have no obligation under this Limited Warranty or otherwise if the detector is
altered or improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than Ademco factory service. In case of defect,
return the detector to ADI or an authorized distributor for an immediate replacement.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE
HEREOF. IN NO CASE SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCI-
DENTAL 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.
Seller does not represent that its detector may not be compromised or circumvented; that the detector will
prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the detector will
in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and main-
tained alarm may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring without provid-
ing 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 DETECTOR
FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDI-
RECTLY, 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 DETECTOR, WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLU-
SIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER. This warranty replaces any previous warranties and is the only warran-
ty made by Seller on this detector. No increase or alteration, written or verbal, of the obligations of this
Limited Warranty is authorized.

THE LIMITATIONS OF
THIS PASSIVE INFRARED 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 detect-
ed 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 appropriate DC power connected to it, or if the DC power is improperly connected (i.e., reversed
polarity connections).
• 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.
