PREFACE
Thank you for choosing the AX1 Security and Home Automation system. High quality, large
number of funcitons and yet simple operation are main advantages of the system. Hoping that
you will be fully satisfied with this choice, we ensure you with our professional assistance
and information on our proudcts.
This manual will explain to you on how to operate your AX1 security and home automation
system. This system is made up of a control panel, keypads, IO expander module (optional),
telephone voice module (optional), various sensors and detectors. An enclosure will contain
the control panel, which includes the system electronics and stanby battery.
TESTING
It is advisable to perform periodical test of the alarm system – check every single detector’s
ability to detect zone violation by opening the protected windows, doors etc. It is also
advisable to check sirens and telephone voice messaging system. Please refer to testing
procedures section in this manual. If your system does not function properly, please contact
your system installer for services.
LIMITATIONS
Even though AX1 is an advanced security system, it does not 100% guarantee protections
against burglary, fire or other losses. Any alarm system whether commercial or residential is
subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:
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, smoke detectors and many sensing devices will not operate
without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if there is no AC power supply
for any reason and their back up batteries are missing, dead or improperly installed.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens or bells may not alert people or wake up sleeper
if they are located on the other side of closed or partly closed door.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm from the premise to a central monitoring
station may be out or temporarily out of service. Telephone station lines are subjected
to compromise by sophisticated method of attack.
Smoke detector used in conjunction with the alarm system may not sense fires that
start where smoke cannot reach the detector such as wall, roof or the other side of the
door. Smoke detector also may not sense a fire on another level of residence or
carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in the bed, violent explosions, escaping
gas, improper storage of flammable material, overloaded electrical circuits, and
children playing with matches.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly when an
intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. Therefore, your system should be
tested weekly to ensure all sensors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates but an
alarm system is not substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and
renters should continue to insure their lives and properties.
