WARNING:
•
These fire protection devices require correct wiring to function. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to provide
qualified correct wiring installation. SARGENT accepts no responsibility for incorrect wiring. Devices wired
incorrectly may be damaged and this is not covered under warranty.
•
Life safety devices require correct positioning and appropriate selection for the required task. It is the responsibility
of the purchaser to select appropriate hardware and provide professional installation. It is the responsibility of the
purchaser to insure that NFPA and other applicable fire codes are met. Door release devices function properly only if
the door is free to close and is installed correctly. SARGENT accepts no responsibility for incorrect installation of its
equipment.
•
Smoke detectors will not work without power. AC or DC powered smoke detectors will not work if the power supply
is cut off for any reason.
•
All high voltage wiring should be undertaken by a qualified professional licensed electrician. It is the responsibility
of the purchaser to insure that installation meets all applicable local and national electrical codes.
•
A detector may not detect a fire developing on another level of a building. For this reason, detectors should be
located on every level of the building.
•
Smoke detectors will not sense fires which start where smoke does not reach the detectors. Smoke from fires in
chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of a closed door may not reach the smoke detector and activate it.
•
Smoke detectors cannot last forever. Smoke detectors contain electronic parts. Even though detectors are made to
last over 10 years, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, test your smoke detector system per NFPA 72
Chapter 10 at least semiannually. Clean and take care of your smoke detectors regularly. Refer to Page 5 of these
instructions for “Smoke Detector Cleaning and Testing”. Taking care of the fire detection system you have installed
will maintain the reliability of the system.
•
Smoke detectors have sensing limitations. Photoelectric detectors sense smoldering fires better than flaming fires.
Ionization detectors offer a broad range of fire-sensing capability, but they are better at detecting fast, flaming fires
than slow smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways, and are often unpredictable in their growth,
neither type of detector is always best, and a given detector may not always provide warning of a fire. In general,
detectors cannot be expected to provide warning for fires resulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable liquids like cleaning solvents, other safety hazards, or
arson. Smoke detectors used in high air velocity conditions may fail to alarm due to dilution of smoke densities
created by such frequent and rapid air exchanges. Additionally, high air velocity environments may create increased
dust contamination, demanding more frequent maintenance.
