Safety Messages

 

It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be installed by 

trained personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the country electric codes and will follow these 

guidelines as well as local codes and ordinances, including any state or local noise control ordinances. 

Planning

•  If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the Informer is not selected 

properly or the Informer is not installed properly, it may not produce the intended optimum audible 

warning. If applicable, follow Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommendations. 

•  If the Informer is not activated in a timely manner when an emergency condition exists, it cannot 

provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that knowledgeable people, who are provided 

with the necessary information, be available at all times to authorize activation. 

•  The sound output of the Informer is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To prevent 

excessive exposure, carefully plan placement, post warnings, and restrict access to areas near sirens. 

•  Activating the Informer may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be warned 

are not properly trained about the meaning of warning sounds. Users should follow FEMA 

recommendations and instruct those to be warned of correct actions to be taken.

After installation, service, or maintenance, test the system to confirm that it is operating properly. Test 

the system regularly to confirm that it will be operational in an emergency.
