SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
General Safety Rules
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all
instructions may result in electric shock, fire, property damage and/or
serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
This system was designed to provide pro-
tection of property only. Do not use this system to provide protection for life safety and from
fire. Any use other than that suggested in this instruction manual could cause injury or even
death. Not intended for residential use.
WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not use this system in hazardous
areas. This may include blasting areas and potentially explosive atmospheres. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. They
include but are not limited to fueling areas such as gas stations; fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders;
and any other area where one would normally be advised to turn off a vehicle engine.
WARNING: FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
Do not use an
extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord or
an extension cord that has been worn or damaged could result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension cord con-
tains at least the minimum wire size.

Limitations of System
Although this system is designed as a security system, it does not guarantee protection
against burglary or other emergencies. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or fail-
ure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
• An intruder may gain access through unprotected openings. An intruder with criminal
intent, technical knowledge or jamming devices may bypass the system.
• This system will not operate without power. The equipment is primarily powered by AC
and utilizes a battery as back-up power. If the AC power supply is off and the back-up
battery is uncharged, the equipment will not operate.
• The wireless devices for this system, such as sensors and remotes, are powered by
non-rechargeable batteries. If the batteries are missing, installed incorrectly or dead,
the battery-operated devices will not function properly.
• Signals sent by wireless devices may be blocked or reflected by metal before they
reach the receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a routine
test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
