WARNING - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warn-
ing to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types
of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any access control system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to oper-
ate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
•
Inadequate Installation
An access control system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a
security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and
operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide
the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity.
•
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal
intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that an access control system be reviewed peri-
odically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection
expected.
•
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuf-
ficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
•
Power Failure
Control units, readers, exit detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device
operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition
