LIMITATIONS OF THE PIR MOTION DETECTOR
While the Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion detection
device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any
Intrusion Detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn
for a variety of reasons:
•
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can detect intrusion only within the
designed ranges as diagrammed in this installation manual.
•
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors do not provide volumetric area
protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion
can be detected only in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
•
Passive Infrared Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that
takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass
partitions, glass doors, or windows.
•
Mechanical tampering, masking, painting, or spraying of any material
on the lenses, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce
the detection ability of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
•
Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however,
as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the
temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection
performance can decrease.
•
This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without the
appropriate battery installed, or if the battery is weak or improperly
connected (i.e., reversed polarity).
•
Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical devices, are subject
to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last
as long as 10 years, the electronic components in it could fail at any
time.
We have cited some of the most common reasons that a Passive
Infrared Motion Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does
not imply that these are the only reasons, and therefore it is
recommended that weekly testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with
weekly testing of the entire alarm system, be performed to ensure that
the detectors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower
insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act
prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and
property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of
alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about
these developments.
FCC Notice:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,
2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,
3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Honeywell
may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Honeywell International Inc. (“Seller”), 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, New
York 11791, warrants its product(s) to be in conformance with its own
plans and specifications and to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use and service for 24 months from the
date stamp control on the product(s) or, for product(s) not having an
Honeywell date stamp, for 12 months from date of original purchase
unless the installation instructions or catalog sets forth a shorter
period, in which case the shorter period shall apply. Seller's obligation
shall be limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for
materials or labor, any product(s) which is proved not in compliance
with Seller's specifications or proves defective in materials or
workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no
obligation under this Limited Warranty or otherwise if the product(s) is
altered or improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than
Honeywell factory service. For warranty service, return product(s)
transportation prepaid, to Honeywell Factory Service, 165 Eileen Way,
Syosset, New York 11791.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
OR OTHERWISE, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION

LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS
CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.
Seller does not represent that the product(s) it sells may not be
compromised or circumvented; that the product(s) will prevent any
personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise;
or that the product(s) will in all cases provide adequate warning or
protection. Customer understands that a properly installed and
maintained alarm system may only reduce the risk of a burglary,
robbery, fire, or other events occurring without providing an alarm, but
it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there
will be no personal injury or property loss as a result.
CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY
PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS
BASED ON A CLAIM THAT THE PRODUCT(S) FAILED TO GIVE
WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE
ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE,
REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM
LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE
PRICE OF THE PRODUCT(S), WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER.
This warranty replaces any previous warranties and is the only
warranty made by Seller on this product(s). No increase or alteration,
written or verbal, of the obligations of this Limited Warranty is
authorized.
