CLEANING YOUR STROBE LIGHT:
To clean your Strobe light remove it from the mounting plate and disconnect the
AC Quick Connect power harness as outlined in section 5.
You can clean dust from your strobe light by using a vacuum cleaner hose and
vacuuming around the cover and lens openings on the strobe light.
The outside of the strobe light can be wiped with a damp cloth.
AFTER CLEANING, REINSTALL YOUR STROBE LIGHT AND TEST YOUR
STROBE LIGHT BY ACTIVATING ONE OF THE CONTROLLING ALARMS.
8. LIMITATIONS OF ALARM CONTROLLED VISUAL SIGNALING
DEVICES
VISUAL SIGNALING DEVICES CAN PROVIDE EARLY WARNING TO HEARING
IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS AT A REASONABLE COST; HOWEVER, IN ORDER FOR
THE VISUAL SIGNALING DEVICE TO FUNCTION, IT MUST BE ACTIVATED BY AN
OPERATING ALARM. ALARMS CANNOT PROVIDE AN ACTIVATION SIGNAL TO
THE VISUAL SIGNALING DEVICE IF SMOKE, HEAT OR CARBON MONOXIDE DO
NOT REACH THE SPECIFIC ALARM. THEREFORE, ALARMS MAY NOT SENSE A
CONDITION ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR, OR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A CLOSED
DOOR. ALARMS DO HAVE LIMITATIONS. AC POWERED ALARMS WILL NOT
OPERATE IF AC POWER HAS BEEN CUT OFF BY AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR AN
OPEN FUSE.
HOME EMERGENCIES DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPRE-
DICTABLE. NO ONE TYPE OF CONTROLLING ALARM; HEAT, FIRE (IONIZATION OR
PHOTOELECTRIC) OR CARBON MONOXIDE IS ALWAYS BEST. FOR MAXIMUM
PROTECTION, ALARMS MUST BE INSTALLED IN EACH SLEEPING AREA, AND ON
EVERY LEVEL OF A HOME. ALARMS MUST BE INTERCONNECTED WITH EACH
OTHER AND THE SIGNALING DEVICES AND BE TESTED REGULARLY TO INSURE
THE ALARMS AND INTERCONNECTING CIRCUITS ARE IN GOOD OPERATING
CONDITION.
IN AN UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES STUDY, THIS TYPE OF VISUAL SIGNALING
APPLIANCE WAS ONLY SUCCESSFUL IN WAKING 92% OF THE SLEEPING
RESPONDENTS.
HEARING IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT SEE THE VISUAL WARNING DEVICE
IF WALLS, DOORS, DISTANCE, HIGH AMBIENT LIGHT, OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS
BLOCK THE STROBE LIGHT. IF THE STROBE LIGHT IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE
