FA-106 Installation and Operation Manual

19

13.

Wireless Devices Placement Proximity.  

Moreover all wireless devices must be a minimum and 

maximum distance away from large metal objects, such as refrigerators.  You are required to 
consult the specific Mircom System manual and application guide for any maximum distances 
required between devices and suggested placement of wireless devices for optimal functioning.  

14.

Failure to Trigger Sensors.  

Moreover, Mircom Systems may fail to operate as intended if 

motion, heat, or smoke sensors are not triggered.  

a. Sensors in a fire system may fail to be triggered when the fire is in a chimney, walls, roof, or 

on the other side of closed doors.  Smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke or heat 
from fires on another level of the residence or building.  In this situation the control panel 
may not alert occupants of a fire.  

b. Sensors in a nurse call system may fail to be triggered when movement is occurring outside 

of the motion sensors’ range. For example, if movement is occurring on the other side of 
closed doors or on another level of the residence or building the motion detector may not be 
triggered.  In this situation the central controller may not register an alarm signal.

15.

Interference with Audible Notification Appliances.  

Audible notification appliances may be 

interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, 
appliances, or passing traffic.  Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard by 
a hearing-impaired person.

16.

Other Impairments.  

Alarm notification appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may 

not warn or waken a sleeping occupant if there is an intervening wall or door.  It is less likely that 
the occupants will be alerted or awakened when notification appliances are located on a different 
level of the residence or premise.

17.

Software Malfunction.  

Most Mircom Systems contain software.  No warranties are provided as 

to the software components of any products or stand-alone software products within a Mircom 
System.  For a full statement of the warranties and exclusions and limitations of liability please 
refer to the company’s standard Terms and Conditions and Warranties.  

18.

Telephone Lines Malfunction.  

Telephone service can cause system failure where telephone 

lines are relied upon by a Mircom System. Alarms and information coming from a Mircom System 
may not be transmitted if a phone line is out of service or busy for a certain period of time. Alarms 
and information may not be transmitted where telephone lines have been compromised by 
criminal tampering, local construction, storms or earthquakes.

19.

Component Failure.

  Although every effort has been made to make this Mircom System as 

reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.

20.

Integrated Products.  

Mircom System might not function as intended if it is connected to a non-

Mircom product or to a Mircom product that is deemed non-compatible with a particular Mircom 
System.  A list of compatible products can be requested and obtained.
