1. About Your Security System
Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's operation and on
which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be fully
instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of your zone information and
access codes, and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE: Please consult your installer for further information regarding the false alarm reduction features
built into your system, as not all are covered in this manual.
1.1 Fire Detection (must be enabled by Installer)
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and provid-
ing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having an adequate
number of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accor-
dance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincy MA 02269). Please read the Family
Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.
1.2 Carbon Monoxide Detection (must be enabled by Installer)
This equipment is capable of monitoring carbon monoxide detectors and providing a warning if car-
bon monoxide is detected. Please read the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual and
instructions that are available with the carbon monoxide detector.
1.3 Testing
To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your system does not function
properly, call your installing company for service.
1.4 Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information to a central sta-
tion. If you initiate an alarm by mistake, immediately call the central station to prevent an unneces-
sary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it can become functional.
NOTE:
Consult with your installer to determine if your system is configured with a communicator delay. A
communicator delay will prevent a report to the central station if the control panel is disarmed within 30-45 seconds
after
an intrusion alarm is triggered. Note that fire-type alarms are normally reported without a delay.
NOTE: Ensure that your installer verifies that your system is compatible with the Central Station Receiver
format at yearly intervals.
1.5 Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
• Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
• Replace the standby battery every 3-5 years.
NOTE: Do not replace the battery or open the enclosure; there is a risk of electric shock and/or fire.
• For other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, glass break detectors or door/
window contacts, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions.
1.6 General System Operation
Your security system comprises an integrated alarm control/keypad and various sensors and detec-
tors. The keypad is mounted by the main entry/exit location. The system is self-contained; electron-
ics and standby battery are housed within the keypad unit.
NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the system.
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to a
single wireless sensor (motion detectors, glass break detectors, door contacts, etc.) or to one or more
hard-wired sensors. A sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the LCD.
Additional features include Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm; Tamper and Trouble
signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period; SMS interactive operation and a Programmable
Keypad Lockout option. 3
2. Keypad Controls & Indicators
IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and your central sta-
tion (if applicable) to an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they
may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life
and property insurance. Your security system must be installed and serviced by qualified security
professionals. These professionals can instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided
and on system operations.
NOTE: When the keypad is in Sleep Mode it is saving battery life e.g., backlighting, LCD message display
will not be turned on until there is a specific reason: a key is pressed, entry delay is started. In this mode the
keypad is still functioning and nothing will be visible; however if desired, your installer can enable the
product to show the armed/set status while in Sleep Mode.
NOTE: In UK installations where the SCW9055(G)/SCW9057(D)(G)-433 is used with a single path
signalling method, like the integrated digital dialer (phone line alarm transmitter), please note the following
important limitation: Your attention is drawn to the fact that failure or compromise of single path signalling
(i.e., one method of communication) cannot be passed to the police. While the failure persists, subsequent
alarms cannot be notified to the alarm receiving centre and passed to the police.
3. Language Selection
Your system can display messages in different languages. To change the display language:
1. Press and hold both
[]
buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
2. Using the
[]
buttons, scroll through the available languages.
3. Press
[

]
to select your desired language.
NOTE: For systems compliant with the EN50131-1 standard, language selection can only be done by the
installer.
4. Arming and Disarming (Setting/Unsetting) the System
4.1 Stay Arming (Setting)
Stay arming will bypass motion sensors and arm/set the perimeter of the system (i.e., doors and win-
dows). Close all sensors (i.e., close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator will illuminate.
Press and hold the Stay
button until it beeps (approx. 2 seconds). Enter your access code, do
not leave the premises. During the setting state (Exit Delay active), the Armed ( ) and Ready ( )
indicators will illuminate.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad
as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on.
The Armed (
) indicator and a bypass message will be displayed. The system will automatically
ignore bypassed zones (e.g., motion sensors).
NOTE: Your installer can program a function key on the keypad to allow you to arm/set the system in Stay
mode instantly. This allows you to activate Stay Arming by holding down the function key for 2 seconds.
The system arms/sets immediately with no beeps sounding and no exit delay.

4.2 Night Arming (Setting)
To night arm/set the system when it has been armed/set in Stay mode, press [

][1] at the keypad. All
interior zones will now be armed/set except for devices programmed as Night zones.
NOTE: Your installer can also program a function key on the keypad that allows you to arm/set the system
in Night mode. This allows Night Arming to be activated by holding down the function key for 2 seconds.
Night zones are only armed/set in Away mode; this permits limited movement within the premises
when the system is fully armed/set. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identify-
ing zones programmed as night zones. When the interior zones are activated (i.e., [

][1]) you must
enter your access code to disarm the system in order to gain access to interior areas that have not
been programmed as night zones.
4.3 Silent Exit Delay
If the system is armed/set using the Stay button or using the
“
No-Entry Arming” method ([

][9]
[Access Code]), the keypad buzzer will be silenced and the exit time will be doubled for that exit
period only.
4.4 Away Arming (Setting)
Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on.
To arm/set, press and hold the Away button for 2 seconds and/or enter your access code or press
[

][0] to Quick Arm/Set.
NOTE: The Quick Arming/Setting option should not be used for installations compliant with EN50131-1
Grade 2 requirements.
During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will turn on,
and the keypad will sound one beep per second. You now have ___ seconds to leave the premises
(please check with your installer to have this time programmed). A keypad buzzer, whose pulsating
rate is distinct, will sound during the last ten seconds of the exit delay to warn occupants that the
exit delay is running out. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access code.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed. This is indicated on the keypad dis-
play as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on and
the keypad will stop sounding.
NOTE: The system can also be armed/disarmed (set/unset) with a wireless key and with proximity tags.
Refer to the “Proximity Tags” and “Two-Way Wireless Key” sections for more details.
4.5 Quick Exit
If the system is armed/set and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and
rearming the system. Press and hold the Quick Exit button
for 2 seconds or press [

][0]. You
now have 2 minutes to leave the premises. When the door is closed again, the remaining exit time is
cancelled.
4.6 Siren Sounds After Away Arming (Setting)
Audible Exit Fault
In order to reduce false alar
ms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit
when arming/setting the system. If you fail to securely close the entry/exit door during the pro-
grammed exit delay period, the system will sound the alarm to indicate an improper exit (your
installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system). If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your access code before the entry delay timer expires, to disarm the system.
3. Repeat the Away Arming/Setting procedure, ensuring that the entry/exit door(s) are secured.
Arming (Setting) Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm/set. This will happen if the system is not
ready to arm/set (i.e., sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this hap-
pens, ensure all sensors are secure, press [
#
] and try again.
4.7 Disarming (Unsetting)
To disarm (unset) an armed (set) system ( indicator is on), enter your access code. If your keypad
is in Sleep mode, press any key to wake it up then enter your access code. The keypad will sound a
continuous tone after the entry delay has been initiated (when opening the entry/exit door). Enter 5
your code within ___ seconds to avoid an alarm condition. Check with your installer to program this
time.
Disarming Error
If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this hap-
pens, press [
#
] and try again.
4.8 Remote Arming and Disarming (Setting/Unsetting)
The system can be armed/set and disarmed/unset, using a remote control device (wireless key), if
programmed by the installer. When arming/setting the system using the Arm button on a wireless
key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell/siren squawk, if pro-
grammed to do so by the installer. When disarming/unsetting using the Disarm button on a wireless
key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell/siren squawks. Three
squawks, when disarming/unsetting with the Disarm button, indicates that an alarm occurred while
the system was armed/set. If you are unsure of the cause of the alarm, proceed with caution (see
Two-Way Wireless Key (WT4989).
5. Setting and Unsetting the Alarm System for Police Connected Alarms (UK In-
stallations only)
5.1 Alarm System Setting Methods
The SCW9055/SCW9057 is capable of completing the full alarm system setting procedure using
one of the following methods:
• push button switch mounted outside the supervised premises; or
• protective switch (i.e., door contact) fitted to the final exit door of the alarmed premises or area.
The setting procedure is a two-stage process that consists of initiating the alarm setting procedure
within the supervised premises (e.g., using a prox tag (PT4) or user code) followed by completion
of setting by one of the two methods mentioned above. Please check with the installer which method
has been enabled for your system.
5.2 Alarm System Unsetting Methods
The SCW9055/SCW9057 is capable of supporting the following alarm system unsetting methods in
accordance with BS8243-2010:
• Prevention of entry to the supervised premises before the SCW9055/SCW9057 is unset.
• Unsetting using the WT4989 wireless key before entering the supervised premises causes or per-
mits the initial entry door to be unlocked (section 6.4.2).
6. Emergency Keys
Press BOTH
(
Fire
), (
Auxiliary
), or
(
Panic
) buttons for 2 seconds to
generate a Fire, Auxiliary, or Panic alarm. The keypad buzzer will beep indicating that the alarm
input has been accepted and transmission to the central station is underway. The Fire buttons may or
may not sound the siren depending on installer setup.
NOTE: The Fire buttons can be disabled by the installer.
NOTE: The Auxiliary Alarm buttons are not intended to be used for medical signals.
7. When Alarm Sounds
The system can generate 3 different alarm sounds:
• Continuous Siren = Intrusion/Burglary Alarm
NOTE: The WT4911 siren will sound a dual frequency sweeping tone for burglary alarms.
• Temporal / Pulsed Siren = Fire Alarm
• 4 beeps, 5-second pause, 4 beeps = Carbon Monoxide alarm
NOTE: The priority of signals is fire alarm, carbon monoxide alarm then burglary alarm. 6
7.1 Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren
If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, proceed with caution!

If the alarm was accidental, enter your access code to silence the alarm. If the alarm system is dis-
armed within the programmed Abort Window (check with the installer if this option has been enabled
on your system and what is the transmitter delay time programmed), no alarm transmission to the
Central Station will occur. Following the Abort Window is a 5-minute Cancel Window, during which
a user can cancel, by entering their access code, an alarm that has been previously transmitted. A can-
cel signal will be transmitted to the central station and the alarm system will indicate that the cancel
signal was transmitted. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.
7.2 Fire Alarm Pulsed Siren
Follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately!
If the fire alarm was accidental (burned toast, bathroom steam, etc.), enter your access code to silence
the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.
7.3 Carbon Monoxide Alarm (must be enabled by your installer)
Activation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can be fatal.
During an alarm, the red LED on the CO detector flashes rapidly and buzzer sounds with a repeating
cadence of: 4 quick beeps, 5-second pause, 4 quick beeps. If an alarm sounds:
1. Operate silence button.
2. Call emergency services or your fire department.
3. Immediately move outdoors or to an open door/window.
WARNING: Carefully review your Carbon Monoxide Installation/User Guide to determine the neces-
sary actions required to ensure your safety and to confirm that the equipment is operating correctly.
Incorporate the steps outlined in the guide into your evacuation plan.
8. 2-Way/1-Way Audio Operation (SCW9057 only)
If programmed by the installer, this feature allows the monitoring station to initiate a 2-way audio
(talk/listen) or 1-way audio (listen-in only) session when an alarm has been received. This feature is
used to verify the nature of the alarm or determine the type of assistance required by the occupant.
NOTE: This feature can be initiated only by the monitoring station after an alarm has been received. The
user can not initiate a 2-way audio session.

10. Bypassing Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system is armed/
set, or when a zone is temporarily out of service but you need to arm/set the system. Bypassed zones
will not be able to sound an alarm. As a result, bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you
are bypassing a zone because it is not working, call a service technician immediately so that the prob-
lem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Ensure that no zones are
unintentionally bypassed when arming/setting your system. Zones cannot be bypassed once the sys-
tem is armed/set. Bypassed zones (except for 24-hr zones) are automatically cancelled each time the
system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the next arming.
With the system disarmed/unset:

described, then re-programmed if required.
NOTE: If wireless keys have been programmed,
wireless key #1
will log as
User Access Code #1
(if
that access code has been programmed). User Access Codes 1-16 will correspond to
wireless keys
or
proximity tags 1-16
.
NOTE: When using 6-digit access codes, the minimum number of variations of access codes is 58,823.
15.1 Access Codes — [

][5][Master Code] (when disarmed)
The [

][5] User’s Programming command is used to program additional access codes (see Access
Code Programming).
User Codes
-
User codes 1-16 are available for the system.

Master Code (Access Code 40)
- The master code has all of the attributes listed in the Programma-
ble Attributes list below except for Duress (2) and One-Time Use (8) and is required to program all
supervisor code attributes.
Supervisor Codes
- These codes are always valid when entering the [

][5] User Code Program-
ming or [

][6] User Function sections. However, these codes can only program additional codes
which have equal or lesser attributes. Once programmed, the supervisor codes receive the master
code’s attributes. These attributes are changeable. Any user code can be made a supervisor code by
enabling User Code Attribute 1 (please see below for details).
Duress Codes
- Duress codes are standard user codes that will transmit the Duress Alarm Reporting
Code whenever the code is entered to perform any function on the system. Any user code can be
made a duress code by enabling User Code Attribute 2 (see below for details).
One-Time Use Code
-
This code permits temporary access to the system for a 24-hour time period. During
the 24hr period, the temporary user may disarm the system once. There is no restriction on the number of
times the temporary user may arm/set the system during the time period.
NOTE: Duress codes are not valid when entering [

][5], [

][6] or [

][8] sections.
NOTE: Access codes cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a Code +/- 1.
15.2 User Code Attributes
The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter [

][5] whether it is
a new code or an existing code being programmed.
System Master (Code 40) has Attribute 3 on by default.
NOTE: These attributes are not changeable.
15.3 Inherent Attributes (all codes except installer)
Arm (Set) / Disarm (Unset)
- Any access code will be valid for arming and disarming the system.
Command Outputs ([

][7][1] and [

][7][2])
- If these outputs require access code entry, any access
code is valid for performing the [

][7][1-2][Access Code] functions on the system.
Programmable Attributes ([

][5][Master/Supervisor Code][9][Code])
To program an access code attribute enter [

][5][Master/Supervisor Code][9] then [] scroll to the

22.2 Walk Test
Walk Test mode allows you to test the operation of each detector in the system. While in Walk Test
mode, the Ready, Armed, and Trouble LED's will flash to indicate that the Walk Test is active. The
Walk Test can be terminated at anytime by re-entering [

][6][Master Code][8] on the keypad. The
system will also automatically terminate the Walk Test on completion; it will sound an audible warn-
ing (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning 5 minutes before the termination of the test.
1. Before testing, ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on.
2. Press [#] and close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.
3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the previous section.
4. Press [

][6][Master Code][8] to initiate the Walk Test.
5. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk in motion
detector areas). The System will display the following message “Secure System Before Arming <
>”, or “Secure or Arm System” when each zone (detector) is activated. Use the [] buttons to
view which zones are open. The message will disappear when the zones are closed.
22.3 Allowing Computer Access to your System
Occasionally, your installer may need to send information to or retrieve information from your secu-
rity system. Your installer will do this by having a computer call your system. You may need to pre-
pare your system to receive this downloading call.
To do this: Press [

][6][Master Code][5] at the keypad. This allows downloading for a limited period
of time. During this time, the system will answer incoming downloading calls. For more information
on this feature, please ask your installer. 17

25. Guidelines for Locating Smoke & CO Detectors
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes
and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms and CO Alarms:
Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent.
Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detect-
able levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed outside of each
sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes
and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be
installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially
where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not protected by the
required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be
required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc.
Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-02 or other appropriate national stan-
dards for installation recommendations.
• Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these
locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
• Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement
around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
• Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
• Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38
o
C

(100
o
F) or falls below 5
o
C
(41

Keypad Keys, Indicators, and Commands (Continued) 21
Smoke detectors should always be installed in USA in accordance with Chapter 11 of NFPA 72, the
National Fire Alarm Code: 11.5.1.1 Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a
specific type of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as
follows:
(1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.
(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area,
within 6.4 m (21 ft) of any door to a sleeping room, the
distance measured along a path of travel.
(3)
On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.

(4) On every level of a residential board and care occu-
pancy (small facility), including basements and excluding
crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
(5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite.
(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care
occupancy (small facility).
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic.
Carbon monoxide gas moves freely in the air. The human body is
most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping hours.
For maximum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside
primary sleeping areas or on each level of your home. Figure 5
indicates the suggested locations in the home. The electronic sen-
sor detects carbon monoxide, measures the concentration and
sounds a loud alarm before a potentially harmful level is reached.
Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:
•
Where the temperature may drop below -10°C or exceed 40°C
•
Near paint thinner fumes
•
Within 5 feet (1.5 meter) of open flame appliances such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces
•
In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys
•
In close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage the detector
PLEASE REFER TO THE CO DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTION SHEET
FOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION.
26. Household Fire Safety Audit
Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety.
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety
audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded
lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or
household service, have a professional evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area? Clean-
ing with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire-hazardous materials (e.g., matches) well out of reach of children?

Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
27. Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is
thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at
night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.
NOTE: Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all border doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted
shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for rescue
should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can
promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as
training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors
in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted
for (e.g. across the street or at a neighbor’s house). Once everyone is out of the building, call the
Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not
gather belongings as this can waste valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait
for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise,
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of peo-
ple in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure
about system operation, contact your installer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire
safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-
house fire safety inspection. IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: DSC Software purchased with or without Products and Components

Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact
with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warn-
ing to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types
of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of
any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as
expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may
be:
•
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate
protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security profes-
sional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and
latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended.
Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of
sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction
activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly rec-
ommended if this service is available.
•
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective
at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent
to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It
is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that
its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found
that it does not provide the protection expected.
•
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient
coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the
proper operation of the system.
•
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other secu-
rity devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a
device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even
if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition
and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any inter-
ruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does
not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied
by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a
security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately
conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as
intended.
•
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several
years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a
function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions
such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature
fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting
device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need
to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular test-
ing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
•
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could
include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-
ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
•
System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly
due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the
device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important
that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm sys-
tem and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an
alarm.
•
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occu-
pants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke
detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may
not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a
chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the resi-
dence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of
burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well.
Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by care-
lessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded elec-
trical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circum-
stances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape
in time to avoid injury or death.
•
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as
shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-
nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-
tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by
these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-
ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any
type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking,
painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-
ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem-
perature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or
unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these
heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sun-
light, steam vents, lighting and so on.
•
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn peo-
ple or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If
warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or prem-
ise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened.
Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources
such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or
passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard
by a hearing-impaired person.
•
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service
or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone
line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be dif-
ficult to detect.
•
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet
the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their
inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is
monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or
their belongings.
•
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as
possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
•
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as
intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind
of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should
include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
•
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for prop-
erty or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property
owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or mini-
mize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
