FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the fog harmful to our health or can it cause damage to computers, photo equipment, 
food, etc.?

No, fog ejected by 

BANDIT

 is almost the same as used in the entertainment industry,

only much thicker and faster produced. Only when too much fog is ejected into a limited
space (overfilling), or the space has no ventilation (no air movement) so the fog stays 
steady for more than 20 minutes, a harmless thin condensation film may appear on 
certain surfaces (cold and smooth ones). If accidentally this does happen, this can be 
easily removed using a moist cloth (the condensation is water-soluble) without using any 
soap. 
You can always get a copy of following documents from your 

BANDIT

-dealer:

- HY-3 safety data sheet (MSDS).
- HY-3 approval form from the Belgian Ministry of Health Affairs.
- German TÜV approval form for HY-3.

Who is responsible if someone gets injured due to low visibility caused by a fog ejection?

Regarding this subject there is no precedent or legal experience defined, because up to 
now there have been no accidents with the 

BANDIT

 security system. In any case, the 

manufacturer has covered himself with an insurance for accidents caused by his product, 
regarding the third person liability, the burglar himself and/or the damage caused by 
public services (police, fire, etc...) Also look at our sales conditions (www.bandit.be)
Keep in mind that the manufacturer is not responsible for goods that  are stolen even 
though 

BANDIT

 is functioning as supposed or if it is malfunctioning due to an internal or 

external failure. We advise the installer to inform his insurance company that they will be 
installing fog security systems. The insurance will accept that this falls under your normal 
professional coverage as an alarm installer. The insurance company can always request 
a copy of the 

BANDIT

 “no claim" certificate from the manufacturer’s insurance company.

I have to install a 

BANDIT

 system and the local person responsible for security demands 

that the unit doesn’t eject fog in case of fire.

Install an approved heat sensitive fire sensor on the ceiling. This type of sensor will not 
react to ejected fog, but opens its alarm contact at the moment a rapid increase of 
temperature  occurs.
Connect this fire sensor alarm contact to a programmable input and define this input as  
fog expulsion preventing fire sensor input. The procedure which is followed when 
activating this input depends on the possibility of the controlling alarm system.
Always, install the fire sensor where a possible burglar can’t reach without first being 
detected by the burglar alarm system.
