WARNING: LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE
DETECTORS/TRANSMITTERS
This smoke detector is designed to activate and initiate emergency action, but will
only do so when used in conjunction with an authorized fire alarm system. This
detector must be installed in accordance with NFPA standard 72.
Smoke detectors will not work without power
. AC or DC powered smoke
detectors will not work if, for any reason, the power supply is cut off. An alarm sig-
nal sent by the wireless transmitter in this detector may be blocked or reflected by
metal before reaching the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently
checked, blockage may occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
Smoke detectors will not sense fires when smoke does not reach the detec-
tors
. Smoldering fires typically do not generate a large amount of heat, which is
needed to drive smoke up to the ceiling where the smoke detector is usually
located. For this reason, there may be large delays in detecting a smoldering fire
with either an ionization-type detector or a photoelectric-type detector. Either
one of them may only generate an alarm after flaming has initiated, which will
generate the heat needed to drive the smoke to the ceiling.
Smoke from fires in chimneys, in walks, on roofs, or on the other side of a closed
door may not reach the smoke detector and generate an alarm. A detector may not
quickly detect or sense at all, a fire developing on another level of a building. Alarm
warning devices, such as bells or horns, may not alert people or wake up sleepers if
they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors, or on another
level. Persons may not hear a warning device over the noise levels of a radio, air
conditioner or appliances or traffic. For this reason,
detectors are strongly recom-
mended to be located on every level and in every bedroom within a building
.
Alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or
waken deep sleepers.
Smoke detectors shall be located in any room where an alarm control is
located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC source or
phone lines are made
. If detectors are not so located, a fire within any of these
rooms could prevent the QED control from reporting a fire.
Sensing limitations of smoke detectors
. Ionization detectors and photoelec-
tronic detectors are required to pass fire tests of the flaming and smoldering
types. This is to ensure that both can detect a wide range of fires. Ionization detec-
tors offer a broad range of fire-sensing capability, but not always provide early
warning of a specific type of fire.
In general, detectors cannot be expected to provide warning for fires resulting
from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions, escaping gases that
ignite, improper storage of flammable liquids like cleaning solvents that ignite,
other similar safety hazards, arson, smoking in bed, children playing with matches
or lighters, etc. Smoke detectors used in high air velocity conditions may have a
delay in alarm due to dilution of smoke densities created by frequent and rapid air
exchanges. Additionally, high air velocity environments may create increased
dust contamination, demanding more frequent detector maintenance.
Maintenance of smoke detectors must be done
. To keep your equipment in
excellent working order, ongoing monthly maintenance is required as outlined
above and as per UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of
Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventa-
tive maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufac-
turer’s representative. Though smoke detectors are designed for long life, they
may fail at any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm equipment, or any compo-
nent of that system which fails must be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
INFORMATION TO USER
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B
Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes and modifications on equipment not expressly approved by PARADOX
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radia-
tor shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
