Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by
arson, children playing with matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and
violent explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials,
etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their
sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise
heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the
rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified
fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the FACP and in
rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring,
communications, signaling, and/or power . If detectors are not so located, a developing fire
may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on
the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently
consumed drugs, alcohol or medication.
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 properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the FACP. It is
essential to use only equipment listed for service with your FACP.
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
per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum,
the requirements of Chapter 10 of NFPA 72 shall be followed. 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.
