Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed sounder to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of
three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no other ex-
press warranty for this sounder. No agent, representative, dealer, or em-
ployee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter the
obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of
this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any part of
the sounder which is found to be defective in materials or workmanship
under normal use and service during the three year period commencing
with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll free

The Company shall not be obligated to repair or replace units which are
found to be defective because of damage, unreasonable use, modifica-
tions, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case
shall the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages
for breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever,
even if the loss or damage is caused by the Company’s negligence or fault.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.

WARNING
Limitations Of Speakers And Speaker/Strobes
If the power option plug is not plugged into one of the option positions,
the speaker will not sound and there will be no trouble indication at the
panel. Always make sure that the individual speakers are tested after in-
stallation per NFPA regulations.
The speaker may not be heard.
The loudness of the speaker meets (or
exceeds) the current Underwriters Laboratories standards. However, the
speaker may not attract the attention of a sound sleeper or one who has
recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The speaker
may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in haz-
ard or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise, such as
traffic, air conditions, machinery, or music appliances that may prevent
alert persons from hearing the alarm.
The speaker may not be heard by
persons who are hearing impaired.
The signal strobe may not be seen.
The electronic visual warning signal
uses an extremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every
three seconds and exceeds current Underwriters Laboratories standards
for private mode viewing. The visual warning signal is suitable for direct
viewing and must be installed within an area where it can be seen by
building occupants. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or
areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash
might be disregarded or not seen.
The strobe may not be seen by the vi-
sually impaired and is not intended to meet American Disabilities Act
(ADA) requirements.
The signal strobe may cause seizures.
Individuals who have positive
photic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epi-
lepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe
signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies.
Coded
power supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an unin-
terrupted source of dc power in order to operate correctly.
System Sensor recommends that the speaker and signal strobe always be
used in combination so that the risks from any of the above limitations are
minimized.
