WARNING
LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS
This smoke detector is designed to activate and initiate emergency action, but will do so only when used in conjunction
with other equipment. This detector is designed for installation in accordance with NFPA standard 72, National Fire
Alarm Code.
Smoke detectors will not work without power. AC or DC powered smoke detectors will not work if the power supply is
cut off for any reason.
Smoke detectore will not sense fires which start where smoke does not reach the detectors. Smoke from fires in
chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors may not reach the smoke detector and alarm it.
Adetector may not detect afire developing on another level of abuilding. For ttis reason, detectors should be lo-
cated on eve~ level of abuilding.
Smoke detectors have sensing limitations, too. Ionization detectors offer broad range fire-sensing capability, but
they are better at detecting fast, flaming fires than slow, smoldering fires. Photoelectronic detectors sense smoldering
fires better than flaming fires. Because fires develop in different ways, and are often unpredictable in their growth, nei-
ther type of detector is always best, and a given detector may not always provide warning of afire. In general, detectors
cannot be expected to provide warnings for fires resulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable tiquids like cleaning solvents, other safety hazards, or arson. Smoke de-
tectors used in high air velocity conditions may fail to alarm due to dilution of smoke densities created by such frequent
and rapid air exchanges. Additionally, high air velocity environments may create increased dust contamination, demand-
ing more frequent maintenance.
Smoke detectors cannot last forever. Smoke deiectors contain electronic parts. Even though detectors are made to
last over 10 years, any of theee parts could fail at any time. Therefore, test your smoke detector system according to
NFPA 72 at least semiannually. Clean and take care of your smoke detectors regularly. Taking care of the fire detection
system you have installed will measurably reduce your product tiability risks.
