5.2 Troubleshooting
AC Power Failure:
This may occur if your security system is accidentally unplugged or if there has been an AC power outage. If a full power
failure occurs, please contact your electric company to find out the source of the problem. The backup battery will continue
to run the system for approximately 6 hours.
System Battery Failure:
This may occur if the emergency backup battery has been drained and needs to be replaced. If AC power is not restored,
the Low Battery symbol will flash indicating that the Smart Panel backup battery is running low. The back up battery should
be replaced once the low battery symbol appears.
Sensor Failure:
This may occur if a sensor is not communicating with the Smart Panel. It is necessary for you to ensure the House Security
code Dipswitch and Jumpers of the Sensors are set correctly to the Smart Panel.
5.3 Alarm System Limitations
Even the most advanced alarm systems cannot guarantee 100% protection against burglary or environmental problems.
All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.
Please note that you may encounter problems with your System if:
- The Sensors are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping or remote parts of the premises.
- The Sensors are placed behind doors or other obstacles.
- Intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry (where sensors are not located).
- Intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the system.
- The power to the sensors is inadequate or disconnected.
- The Sensors are not located in proper environmental/temperature conditions i.e. too close to a heat source.
* Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure; therefore, test your system at least once per week
to be sure the Sensors and sirens are working properly.
* Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute
for insurance.
WARNING: Security system devices cannot compensate for loss of life or property.
6.1 Product Information
Wireless systems are reliable and tested to high standards; however, it is important to consider that there are some limitations
due to their transmitting power and range:
- Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
- A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a time.
- Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against
faults.
