WARNING 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 warning 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 professional 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 rec­ommended 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 security 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 interruption, 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 testing 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 jamming 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 system 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 occupants 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 residence 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 carelessness or safety hazards such as
smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances 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 discriminate between intrud­ers and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area pro­tection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in
unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which
occurs behind walls, ceilings, 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 temperature. How­ever their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature 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, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

Warning Devices

Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people 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 premise, 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 difficult 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 property or life
insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or
other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an
emergency situation

About Your Security System

Your DSC Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. 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 equally instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Infor­mation” page with all of you zone information and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future refer­ence.

Fire Detection

This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning if a
fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate number of detectors placed in appropriate
locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA

02269). Carefully review the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.

NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes functional.

Te st i ng

To insure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly. Please refer to the
“System Test” section in this manual. If your system does not function properly, call your installing company for service.

Monitoring

This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone lines to a central sta­tion. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.

NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.

General System Operation

Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors and detectors. The
control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement. The metal cabinet contains the system
electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service professional
to have access to the control panel.

All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group of zone and system
status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).

The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The keypad(s) will be
mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/exit door(s).

The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will be connected to one or more
sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm will be indicated by the corre­sponding zone lights flashing on a LED keypad or by written messages on the LCD keypad.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your central station of
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 should be installed
and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided
and on system operations.
