SYSTEM OVERVIEW

SYSTEM OVERVIEWSYSTEM OVERVIEW

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. Refer to the Arming the System section for detailed information.

• 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: If programmed by your installer this 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.

• Follow me reminder and system announcements: Allows the ReadyGuard Plus to dial a

number that you have specified, at a programmed time and day and deliver a message programmed by your installer. Refer to the “Follow Me” Announcement 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 Message Recording/Playback Volume Control 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 AUX key plus user code, or manually send a pager message. It will also allow you to manually send a voice message to phone number that has been programmed by your installer. Ask your installer which of these features has been assigned to the AUX key in your L3000. Refer to the AUX Function section for detailed information.

• Scheduling feature: Allows you to schedule the automatic activation or deactivation of X10 devices or program events (e.g. alarm clock, reminder, and latch key). Refer to the Scheduling User Interface section for detailed information.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

SYSTEM OVERVIEWSYSTEM OVERVIEW

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.

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.

UUUULLLL

Burglary Protection

Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the perimeter only, allowing you to freely move 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.

ReadyGuard Plus is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC OR LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.

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 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

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

SYSTEM OVERVIEWSYSTEM OVERVIEW

General Operation

Two-Way Voice Feature

The ReadyGuard Plus 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 twoway 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 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. In response 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.

About the Master Keypad

General

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, 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.

The keypad allows you to control all system functions. In the speaker phone mode the keypad becomes a full-function telephone keypad. The keypad features telephone-style keys and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

The keypad also features a built-in sounder, which will sound during alarms and troubles. The keypad also "beeps" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in Chime mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). In addition, a built-in speaker announces system status. The voice announcement volume is adjustable, however the “beeps” that sound in response to alarms always sound at the maximum volume level. All other “beeps” (trouble, chime, exit/entry, etc) can be set to either low or high volume.

Arming the System

Arming in Stay Mode

Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door later. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming. The green READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed.

To arm in STAY mode:

Your User code**

** See Quick Arming paragraph.

+ STAY

The keypad beeps three times and displays the “Armed Stay” message. The red ARMED indicator lights and the system announces “armed STAY–exit now.”

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 by entering the User Code and pressing the STAY key, or simply by pressing the STAY key by itself. This avoids having the user disarm then re-arm the system after allowing someone to enter or exit.

To restart exit delay while system is armed in STAY mode: Press STAY

Arming In Away Mode

Use this mode when no one will be staying on the premises. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming. The green READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed.

To arm in AWAY mode:

Your User Code **

** See Quick Arming paragraph.

The keypad beeps twice, or beeps continuously if exit warning has been programmed for your system, and displays the “Armed Away” message. The red ARMED indicator lights and the system announces “armed AWAY–exit now.”

When armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may also re-enter through the entrance door, but you must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.

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. During the last 10 seconds of the exit delay fast beeps will sound as a warning that the delay time is nearing its end. The exit beeps cannot be silenced.

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 Alarm Cancelled” 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 security code and press the OFF key.

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 Exit Error" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. The alarm will continue to sound until the system is disarmed or timeout ocurs. To stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed by entering your security code and pressing the

has been cancelled (if this feature is enabled by the installer). To clear the display, enter your security code and press the OFF key 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

NOTE: The control will provide a long confirmation ding when it is disarmed using an RF Key Fob.

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.

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

During Entry Delay or when an Alarm Condition exists, the system will be disarmed as soon as the correct user code is entered on the keypad. Entering the OFF key is not required. The entry beeps or alarm sound can be silenced by pressing any key however, it will restart in 10 seconds if the correct User Code is not entered.

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.

**IMPORTANT**

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 Protection Zones

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.

To bypass a zone(s):

Your user code bypassed (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.)

Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by a zero (for example, enter 01 for zone 1).

The keypad will provide a confirmation beep and display the word “Bypass” along with each bypassed zone number. Wait for these zones to be displayed, to be sure that intended zones are bypassed.

Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.

+ BYPASS

Forced Bypass

Your system may allow you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. Ask your installer if this feature is active.

To bypass a zone(s):

Your user code

In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed along with the word “Bypass.” Wait for these zones to be displayed before arming. Arming the system before zones are displayed eliminates all bypasses.

Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.

Displaying Bypassed Zones

The system allows you to determine what zones have been previously bypassed. Bypassed zones can be displayed only when the system is disarmed, and when the “Bypass” message described above is displayed.

Panic Keys

Your system may have been programmed to use special keys to manually activate panic functions. The functions that might be programmed are listed below. See your installer for the function(s) that may have been programmed for your system.

Your installer should note the functions that are active in your system.

To use a paired key panic function, simply press both keys of the assigned pair at the same time. If your keypad has lettered keys for panic functions, press the designated key and hold down for at least 2 seconds to activate the panic function. Panic keys can also be activated by wireless devices such as the Ademco 5827. Ask your installer about this feature.

Types of Panic Alarms A silent emergency/silent alarm sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring company,† but

there will be 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).

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-0NNN

AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer. EEE = 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows: 911 = Alarm (0NNN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm) 101 = Open, system disarmed (0NNN following indicates user number) 102 = Close, system armed (0NNN following indicates user number) 811 = Trouble (0NNN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble) 0NNN = First digit is always 0, followed by 3-digit user or zone number, depending on the

type of event that occurred.

Examples: Pager display: 911–0004

Indicates the system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004).

Pager displays:

Indicates the 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)

“Follow Me” Announcement Feature

“Follow Me” Reminder and System Announcements

If the “Follow Me” Announcement feature has been programmed your system will automatically dial a telephone number and deliver a voice message. The two different types of “Follow Me” messages include system and reminder announcements.

System Announcements

The ReadyGuard Plus can be programmed to trigger “Follow Me” system announcements by one or a combination of the following events:

• Alarm

• Trouble

• Arming/Disarming (by a keyfob or users 5-8*)

*see Security Codes section for user code descriptions.

Ask your installer about the events that trigger “Follow Me” system announcements.

“Follow me” system announcements are delivered to a phone number that has been programmed by your installer. The voice message is a repeatable system status message (i.e. “Disarm Ready to Arm” when system was disarmed; “Armed Away” when system was armed; “Alarm Front Door” when an alarm occurred, etc). In addition, a special repeatable voice message (“System, System…”) can be triggered manually by pressing the AUX key on the keypad and holding it down for 4 seconds.

NOTE: This is similar to the manual paging feature (see Paging Feature for details).

Reminder Announcements

The “Follow me” reminder announcement is triggered by the scheduler if Reminder Announcements has been chosen as Event Identifier (see Scheduling User interface for details).

NOTE: The “Follow me” reminder can only be used if the “Follow me” or Pager feature has been

programmed by your installer.

The “Follow me” reminder voice message is the same reminder that is played through a local speaker. The reminder should be recorded by your installer. The “Follow me” reminder message will be delivered to a phone number that your installer has programmed or that you can program by yourself. If the “Follow me” reminder phone number has not been programmed, or has been deleted, the reminder is announced through a local speaker only.

After the “Follow me” system or reminder announcement is delivered you can terminate it by pressing any key on the telephone keypad. If the message is not acknowleged/terminated ReadyGuard Plus will attempt to deliver the message and will redial the “Follow Me” telephone number a maximum of eight times.

Smoke Detector Recommendations

ULUL

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 #72 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.

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:

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.

Maintaining your system

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.

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 “Lowbat” message enter:

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 Plus System Battery

In the event of an AC power loss, the ReadyGuard Plus is powered by a rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The battery pack should be replaced when a “Lowbat” message with no zone number is displayed. 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.

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

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

IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS

In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the RJ31X (CA38A in Canada) telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect the phone connection inside the control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phone works correctly after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone lines, the control/communicator has a problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the control/communicator, there is still a problem on the line, notify the telephone company that they have a problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances (in or out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized service agency for all repairs.

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.

This one year Limited Warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, obligations or liabilities. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE.

CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT, WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER.
