Features

General Information

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the

configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation,

various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or

combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have been

installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad. The system may also be

controlled from a remote telephone and can be used as a speaker phone.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status, display

appropriate information on the keypad display, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have

been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm

monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the central station.

The user features of this security system are listed below. Ask your installer which features have been

programmed for your system.

• STAY and AWAY arming modes: By using these modes you can protect either the perimeter only, or

the entire premises.

• 3 panic key functions: Designated keys allow you to manually activate fire, personal emergency, or

silent alarms. Refer to the PANIC KEYS section for detailed information.

• Paging feature: Alerts you to certain system conditions by displaying code numbers that indicate the

type of condition that has occurred. In addition, pressing the AUX key can send a predefined message to

your pager, if programmed to do so (see AUX key function below). Refer to the PAGING FEATURE

section for detailed information.

• Real-time clock: Keypad displays current time. Refer to the CLOCK/CALENDAR section for

procedures for setting the time.

• Voice announcement of system status: The master keypad’s built-in speaker announces system status at

the press of a key. Refer to the CHECKING SYSTEM STATUS section for detailed information.

• Message center: The system allows recording and play back of brief messages. Refer to the

RECORDING/PLAYBACK MESSAGES section for procedures.

• Device activation: Designated keys allow you to turn lights and/or other devices on and off. In addition,

some devices (e.g., a light) may be programmed to activate automatically as a result of a system event

such as an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the USING POWERLINE CARRIER DEVICE

COMMANDS section for detailed information.

• AUX key function: Designated key lets you activate a predefined series of keystrokes with a single press

of the ^AUXkey plus user code, if programmed to do so (see Paging feature above). Refer to the AUX

FUNCTION section for detailed information.

• Scheduling feature: Allows you to schedule the automatic activation or deactivation of X-10 devices or

program events (e.g. alarm clock, reminder, and latch key).

General Operation

Zones

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on

your entry/exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom

to zone 02, and so on. These numbers appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour

backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

/ꢀ

Fire Protection

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a

fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning

fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from the premises.

Burglary Protection

Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the

perimeter only, allowing you to freely move within inside the premises. AWAY mode protects the entire

system. Both modes provide an entry delay time that allows you to reenter the premises without setting off

an alarm. For additional security, you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system by using the

NO DELAY key in combination with the desired arming key. The system also allows you to bypass selected

zones before arming the system, if desired. Refer to the BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section. The

system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows

while the system is disarmed.

You must turn on ("arm") the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary

alarms. To arm the system, enter your user code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY).

Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed procedures and information.

Security Codes

At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal 4-digit security or “master user” code. You must

enter the user code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. As

an additional security feature, other users who do not need to know your code can be assigned up to 6

different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to

the system.

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 15-seconds, and the keypad

will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the siren stops temporarily and voice

General Operation

announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been announced, the siren sounds

again and the cycle repeats itself, until the system is disarmed (code + OFF) or until alarm bell timeout

occurs. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop

the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayed indicating

memory of alarm. Refer to the DISARMING THE SYSTEM section for information about clearing the

memory of alarm display

Two-Way Voice Feature

The ReadyGuard-REN supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and an individual at

the premises. This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with

an individual(s) at the premises and allows the operator to gather information about the nature and location

of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to fire, police or rescue departments. If the Two-way Voice

Feature has been programmed and an alarm condition is detected the system sends an alarm message to the

central station. After acknowledgement is received, a “listen in to follow” message is sent to the central

station. By responding to this message the central station operator can enter commands that allow him to

initiate a 5-minute voice session. The options allow the operator to enter the following modes:

• Talk: Allows the operator to speak to individuals at the premises through the system speaker.

• VOX (2-way voice): Allows the operator to hold a two-way (speak and listen) conversation with

individuals at the premises.

• Listen: Allows the operator to listen to any activity at the premises through the system microphone.

If a subsequent zone is violated during a voice session, the system will terminate the session and process the

alarm. During the voice session, the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs will alternately blink in the

Talk and VOX Modes but not during Listen Mode.

When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, but

you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door

without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will

occur.

Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed

Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit delay at any time

after arming in STAY mode. This is useful if you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after

arming the system, and avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.

Entry/Exit Delays

ꢁ

Exit Delay

Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated

exit door without setting off an alarm. A slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if

programmed.

Exit Alarms

Exit Alarm Active

To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed

for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when

the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If

you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CA" is

displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the

alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made re-secured; to

clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.

If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior zone is still

open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. The

message "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop

the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus

OFF a second time. An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two

minutes after the end of the exit delay.

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door.

You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps

during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if

programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance,

where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the NO DELAY key when arming. This can

provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See ARMING

THE SYSTEM section for procedure.

See your installer for delay times programmed for your system.

Disarming the System

Use the OFF key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See the SUMMARY OF

AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION section for information, which will help you to distinguish between fire and

burglary alarm sounds.

IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call

the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has

shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon entering. This indicates that an alarm has occurred during

your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT

THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

To disarm the system and silence burglary alarms:

+ OFF

Your user code

The READY indicator will light (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and the keypad will beep once to

confirm that the system is disarmed.

Memory of Alarm

If an alarm occurs, the keypad displays the zone number (s) that caused the alarm and the type of alarm

(e.g., “FIRE ALARM”). These messages remain displayed until cleared by a user.

To clear the display, note the zone number displayed and enter an OFF sequence (enter your security code

and press the OFF key).

If the READY indicator is blinking, go to the displayed zone and correct the fault (close windows, etc.). If

the fault cannot be corrected, notify your alarm company.

Bypassing Individual Zones

Use the BYPASS key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected.

Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All

bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. Bypasses are

also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass command is not successful.

The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.

The system must be disarmed first.

no audible alarms or visual displays.

†

An audible emergency/audible alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring company and

sounds a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be connected

(“ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).

†

A personal emergency/aux alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring company and

sounds at keypads, but not at external sounders. (“ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).

†

A supervised fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company and uniquely

activates keypad and any external sounders (“FIRE ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).

† If your system is connected to an alarm monitoring company

Chime Mode

Paging Feature

ꢁ

Automatic Paging

If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as

they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the type of condition that has occurred.

The message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. The system can also be programmed to send up

to 16 additional digits that will appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN

number or special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special characters you

may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to distinguish between security

system messages and usual pager messages). See your installer if these additional characters are desired.

Code Format

The Pager Code takes the following form: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN

AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer.

EEE

= 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows:

911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm)

101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number)

102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number)

811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble)

00NN = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number, depending on

the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC loss has occurred, the

system battery is low, or a 5827 wireless keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad

will indicate the specific condition.

Examples:

Pager displays: 911–0004

This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004).

Pager displays: 101–0005

This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).

Manual Paging

In addition, your system may have been programmed to send a unique pager message when the AUX key is

pressed (see AUX FUNCTION section for alternate function of this key). The actual message sent is 999-

9999 (the hyphen may not appear, depending on your pager service). This code can be used to alert the

person with the pager to whatever meaning you pre-arrange (e.g., “call home”). Ask your installer if this

has been done for your system.

To manually send the pager message, if programmed: AUX (hold until 4 beeps sound)

telephone keypad and the only security keypad functions that will remain enabled are the panic keys and the

speaker volume control. (refer to Volume Adjustment section) You may adjust the volume before entering

speaker phone mode or after dialing the desired number. In the speaker phone mode, if a zone is violated

and has triggered an entry/exit delay, the system will automatically change the keypad from telephone to

security mode. This allows the user to disarm the system or take other appropriate actions in the security

mode without interrupting the telephone session. To regain telephone keypad control (i.e.: to enter an

account number or menu selection) you will need to reactivate the telephone keypad as described below.

General Information

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour

backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

/ꢀ

General

Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event

of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your security system,

triggering a loud, intermittent sound from the keypad. An intermittent sound will also be produced by

optional exterior sounders, and interlaced with the voice descriptor, sounding every 15 seconds. A “FIRE”

message will appear at your keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.

In Case of Fire

1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency

before

your detectors sense the problem, go to your

nearest keypad and press the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if

programmed by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. The alarm will sound.

2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.

3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department

immediately.

4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone number of the zone(s)

in an alarm condition will appear at the keypad.

National Fire Protection Association’s

Smoke Detector Recommendations

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour

backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

/ꢀ

With regard to the number and placement of smoke and heat detectors, we subscribe to the

recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #74 noted

below.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and

areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of

each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the

family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.

In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room,

bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached

garages.

Emergency Evacuation

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour

backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

/ꢀ

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended

by the National Fire Protection Association:

1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so

that they can be heard by all occupants.

2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of

escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the

OOM

CLOSET

BEDR

building. The other should be an alternative escape, such as a

window, should your path to that door be unpassable. Station an

escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the

ground.

OOM

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs

and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for

each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post

copies of the escape routes in every room.

4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This

will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.

5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.

If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the

door if smoke or heat rushes in.

6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk

upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is

near the floor.

BACK

7. Escape quickly; don't panic.

8. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where

everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities

and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that

nobody returns to the house — many die going back.

Security Codes

General Information

For additional security you (the Master User Code) can assign secondary user codes to individual users

enabling them to perform specific system functions. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers"

when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 6 user codes (2-digit user numbers 03-08). Note that

the master user is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users, and is designated user no. 02; user

no. 01 is the Installer’s code.

All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's

code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Babysitter Code described below.

Babysitter Code (User 07): This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the system unless

the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who

needs to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The Babysitter Code is assigned to User 07.

Duress Code (User 08): This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system

under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company

of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress Code is assigned to User 08.

The Duress Code is useful only when the system is connected to an alarm monitoring company.

To Add/Delete a User or Change a User's Code

Changing the Master User Code

Follow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter User No. 02 and enter the new code twice.

IMPORTANT: Temporary users of the system (e.g., babysitters, cleaning staff) should not be shown how to use any

system function they do not need to know, such as bypassing protection zones for example.

Sequential key depressions for all steps in a procedure must be made within 2 seconds of one another, or

else the entire entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.

Add a user code:

+ CODE Key + user number (03-08) + user’s code

Master user code

Delete a user code:

+ CODE Key + user number (03-08)

Master user code

Wait (about 3 seconds) until the keypad beeps once before pressing any other key. The code is

automatically deleted.

Testing the System (to be conducted weekly)

Entering Test Mode

The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point to be checked for

proper operation. The keypad sounds a single beep every 45 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the

Test mode.

NOTE: An alarm message will not be sent to your alarm monitoring company during the following tests.

Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The “READY” indicator should be lit.

Enter:

+ TEST key

Your user code

WATCH. All LCD segments will light for 3 seconds.

LISTEN. The external sounder should sound for 2 seconds and then turn off. If the sounder does not sound,

notify your service company.

FAULT ZONES. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the keypad,

followed by the zone’s Voice Descriptor, if it is programmed. Identification of each faulted protection point

should appear on the display. The display will clear when the door or window is closed.

Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps and/or voice descriptors, if

programmed. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated, and its

voice descriptor will be announced (if programmed). The display will clear when no motion is detected.

Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to

conserve battery life.

To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The identification of each detector

should appear on the display when each is activated.

If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), notify your

service company.

When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone identification

numbers displayed on the keypad.

Exit Test Mode

When testing is completed, exit the TEST mode by entering:

+ OFF key.

Your user code

NOTES: (1) If the Test mode is inadvertently left active, it automatically turns off after 4 hours.

(2) Macros cannot be run from the Test mode.

Trouble Messages

Typical Trouble Condition Displays

To silence the beeping sound for fault conditions, press any key.

FAULT

Indicates that a problem exists with the zone(s) displayed, accompanied by rapid beeping.

First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not. If the

zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture, televisions,

etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected,

the zone descriptor(s) and FAULT should disappear from the display. If not, key an OFF

sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A fault condition can also indicate a

wiring problem. If the “FAULT” display persists, notify your service company. Note that the

system will not allow arming if a fault condition exists. To arm the system with a fault

condition present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the fault condition.

Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system

or a problem with the phone line existed when dialing was attempted.

Indicates that the control is on-line with the central station's remote computer. The control

will not operate while on-line. Wait a few minutes. The display should disappear.

†

If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled.

Indicates a cancelled alarm. See Entry/Exit Delay section

Indicates an exit alarm. See Entry/Exit Delay section.

Indicates that the system has detected an RF jam condition or excessive interference. If the

condition persists, notify your service company.

LOW BAT

Accompanied by a once-per 45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low system

(no zone no.) battery condition exists. Refer to the Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery section.

†

LOW BAT

Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery

(with zone no.) condition exists in the wireless transmitter displayed.

†

LOW BAT

Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery

(with zone 00) condition exists in a wireless keypad.

†

† Notify your service company.

Routine Care

•

Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam

sensor-protected doors or windows.

Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors

and smoke detectors.

The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any

other fluid on the units.

Maintaining your system

The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. To make sure

that your system is in working condition, do the following:

1. Test your system weekly.

2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).

Low Battery Conditions in Wireless Sensors

Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects low battery conditions

in wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless

keypad, and displays a “LOW BAT” message on the master keypad, which also beeps. A low battery in a

wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the master keypad (e.g. Ademco 5827)

will display “00”. In addition, a wireless smoke detector with a low battery also emits a "chirp" sound

approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery.

NOTE: A low battery message means that battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30

days. In the meantime, a sensor with a low battery is still operational.

To silence Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad: Press the OFF key.

The low battery message display will remain on as a reminder. When you replace the weak battery with a

fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal to the control when the sensor is activated

(opening/closing of door, window, etc.).

To clear the “LOW BAT” message enter:

+ OFF key.

Your user code

When replacing batteries, use only those recommended by your installer.

Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt

lithium batteries may provide from 4-7 years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is

used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as

humidity, high or low temperatures, and large swings in temperature may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an

installation.

Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery

In the event of an AC power loss, the ReadyGuard-REN is powered by a rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride

battery pack. The battery pack should be replaced when a “LOW BAT” message with no zone number is

displayed.

NOTE: The battery pack (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-SC or LYNXRCHKIT-HC) should be changed every

four years and must be replaced by a qualified service technician.

Following battery pack replacement, rechargeable batteries may take up to 48 hours to charge. The “LOW

BAT” message may be displayed after one minute, however it should clear within 4 hours or by entering

Test Mode.

WARNING!

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other

emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of

reasons. For example:

•

Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or

disconnect an alarm warning device.

•

Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without

power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly.

Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.

•

Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the

signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.

•

A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.

While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or

provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal

Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are

as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start

where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke

detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not

sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind

of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking

in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children

playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector,

even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or

death.

•

Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation

manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and

intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes

place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking,

painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability.

Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the

temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.

Alarm warning devices such as sirens, 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. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they

are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm

is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however

loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.

•

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or

temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves

from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.

This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as

long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

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.

Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, 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.

limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for parts, labor, or transportation, any product

proven to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no

obligation under this warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or improperly repaired or serviced by

limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Seller does not represent that the product may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product will

prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product will in

all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained

alarm may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring without providing an

COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER. This warranty gives you specific legal

rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. No increase or alteration, written or

verbal, to this warranty is authorized.
