SYSTEM 2316E/2316EC Installation Manual
Telephone Line Problems
In the event of telephone line problems, disconnect the SYSTEM
2316E/2316EC by removing the modular connector plug from the
Telco interface jack.
Do not disconnect the connection inside the
SYSTEM 2316E/2316EC cabinet
. Doing so will prevent the premise
phones from operating. If your phone works correctly after the control
panel has been disconnected from the phone line, the control panel has
a problem and should be returned for repair.
If the phone does not work after you have disconnected the control
panel from the phone line, notify the telephone company and request
prompt repair.
The user may not under any circumstance (in or out
of warranty)
attempt any service or repairs on the SYSTEM
2316E/
2316EC
. The control panel must be returned to C&K SYSTEMS or an
authorized service agency for repairs.
Testing
Once the installation is complete, connect AC and DC power. Complete
programming, if required.
Test all panel operations
.
END-USER INFORMATION
To the Installer
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least monthly) by the installer
and frequent testing by the user are vital to the continuous and satisfying
operation of any alarm system. The installer should assume the respon-
sibility for developing and offering a regular maintenance program to
the user, as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and
limitations of the alarm system and its component parts.
Recommenda-
tions must include a specific program of regular testing (at least
weekly) to insure that the system is operating properly at all times
.
Watchdog Indicator
The SYSTEM 2316E/2316EC is protected by an ad-
vanced circuit, called a Watch Dog circuit, that con-
stantly monitors the microprocessor.
As long as the panel has power and is operating
normally, the Watch Dog LED (DS1) on the circuit
board will flash. If the Watch Dog circuit detects a
failure, it will attempt to reset the panel.
If the panel does not operate properly and the Watch Dog LED no longer
flashes, call the
C&K Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-227-8065
in
the U. S. or your local C&K representative.

Limitations of Your Alarm System
While the SYSTEM 2316E/2316EC is an advanced design security
system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or
other losses. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is
subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These
include:
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have
the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect
an alarm warning device.
.
.
Intrusion detectors, smoke detectors, and many sensing devices will
not operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their
AC power supply is off for any reason and their backup batteries are
missing, dead, or improperly installed.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert
people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of
closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different
level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to waken
or alert people inside the bedrooms.
.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to
a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out
of service. Telephone lines are subject to compromise by sophisti-
cated methods of attack.
.
Smoke detectors used in conjunction with the alarm system may not
sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as
chimneys, walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of the residence
or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first
floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limita-
tions. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In
general, detectors may not always warn you about fires caused by
carelessness and safety hazards, like smoking in bed, violent explo-
sions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, over-
loaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, arson, etc.
.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly
when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.
Your
alarm
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors
are operating properly
.
The SYSTEM 2316E/2316EC panel and
keypads should
also be tested
.
.
Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance
rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to insure
their lives and property.
