Alarm System Limitations
Not even the most advanced alarm system can
guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or envi-
ronmental emergencies. All alarm systems are sub-
ject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn, for a
variety of reasons including:
• If sirens are not placed within range of persons
sleeping, in remote areas of the premises, or if
they are placed behind doors or other obstacles.
• If intruders gain access through unprotected entry
points or areas where sensors are bypassed.
• If intruders have the technical means of bypass-
ing, jamming, or disconnecting any or all parts of
the system.
• If power to sensors is disconnected or inade-
quate.
• If freeze, flood, or any environmental sensors are
not located in areas where the specific condition
can be detected.
• If smoke does not reach a smoke sensor. For
example, smoke sensors cannot detect smoke in
chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a
closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke on
building levels different from their installed loca-
tion. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are
caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper
storage of flammables, overloaded electrical cir-
cuits, or other hazardous conditions.
• If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone
lines are also vulnerable to compromise by any of
several means.
Inadequate maintenance is the most common
cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system
once each week to verify sensors, sirens, and phone
communications are all working correctly.
Note
Although having an alarm system can make
you eligible for reduced insurance premi-
ums, the system is no substitute for insur-
ance.
WARNING! Security systems and devices cannot
compensate you for life or property
losses.

tem or if it ever needs servicing, please contact your
