Liability Disclaimer 

Brooks shall not under any circumstances, except were otherwise required by law, be liable for any 

incidental or consequential damages arising from loss of property or other damages or losses owing to 

the failure of Brooks products beyond the cost of repair or replacement of any defective products.  
Brooks reserves the right to make product improvements and change product specifications at any time. 

While every precaution has been taken during the preparation of this manual to ensure the accuracy of 

its contents, Brooks assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions.  
 
 

READ AND OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS PRIOR TO OPERATING THE CIE 
 
 
 

WARNING! 

  Improperly operating the CIE may cause serious consequences including fatal injury, 

personal harm, damage or loss of property and equipment and interruption to the site normal 

functions. 

  

  Contact the Fire Brigade immediately in the case of a fire alarm regardless of whether the 

CIE supports fire alarm routing equipment or automatic fire protection equipment. 

 

  Always perform installation, maintenance and service by a qualified and trained personnel in 

accordance with all the relevant standards and regulations.

 

  Always install and operate in accordance with Brooks equipment instructions.

 

  Any controls provided by the CIE are for fire protection purposes only. Do not rely on the CIE 

to operate external equipment for any other purposes.

 

   Activate the Service Master Abort switch (CIE) and the gas lock-off valve (gas system pipe-

work) to safely disable the system before and during any system maintenance which requires 

the disablement of the gas release.

 

  The Brooks CIE monitors the wiring conditions by using the end of line devices. However, it 

is not capable of detecting the internal conditions of any associated external equipment 

unless the system is specially arranged to monitor those conditions. The external equipment 

shall be operated and maintained according to its own specific operation and maintenance 

procedures.
