Master Warranty and Warning Information
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.
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.
Other Impairments
Similarly, 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.
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.
Software
Most
MGC Systems
contain software. With respect to those products, MGC does not warrant
that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the software will
meet any other standard of performance, or that the functions or performance of the software
will meet the user’s requirements. MGC shall not be liable for any delays, breakdowns,
interruptions, loss, destruction, alteration or other problems in the use of a product arising out
of, or caused by, the software.
Telephone Lines
Telephone service can cause system failure where telephone lines are relied upon by a
MGC
System
. Alarms and information coming from an
MGC 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.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this
MGC System
as reliable as possible, the
system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, no
MGC System
is a substitute for property or life insurance.
Nor is the system a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently
to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
Moreover, building automation systems produced by MGC are not to be used as a fire, alarm,
or life safety systems.
