Please note that:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people
with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire
alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the
signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercise to make people aware of fire alarm signals and
instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A fire alarm system
will not operate without any electrical power. If AC
power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a
specified time and only if the batteries have been maintained
properly.
Equipment used in the system
may not be technically compatible with
the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service
with your control panel.
The most common cause
of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate
maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in excellent working
order, ongoing maintenance is required as per the manufacturer's
recommendations. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or
high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance
agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's
representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed
by authorized professional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written
records of all inspections should be kept.
