Transmissions
Problems: Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from
a premises to a central station may be out of service or temporarily out of service. For added
protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are
recommended.

System Failure With Age or Lack of Maintenance: System components, though designed to
last many years, can fail at any time. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended that
smoke detectors be checked, maintained, and replaced per manufacturer’s
recommendations.
x
Electrical Power Problems: System components will not work without electrical power. If
system batteries are not serviced or replaced regularly, they may not provide battery backup
when AC power fails.
x
High Air Velocity or Dusty or Dirty Environments: Environments with high air velocity or that
are dusty or dirty require more frequent maintenance.
Importance of Maintenance: In general, fire alarm systems and devices will not work without power
and will not function property unless they are maintained and tested regularly.
Alarm is Not Substitute for Insurance: While installing a fire alarm system may make the owner
eligible for a lower insurance rate, an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Property owners
should continue to act prudently in protecting the premises and the people in their premises and
should properly insure life and property and buy sufficient amounts of liability insurance to meet their
needs.
