Installation Instructions
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is
inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and
transmitters are working properly. The security keypad (and remote keypad) should be tested as well.
Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal
operating conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the
environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity,
high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life
in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low-battery situation, thus
allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the
system.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm
system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to
act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to
themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
