Cet appareil numerique de la classe B est conforme a la norme NMB-
003 du Canada.
Devicefailure
Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or
may fail to warn. Possible causes of failure are DC power failure or
improper connection, malicious masking of the lens, tampering with
the optical system, decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures
close to that of the human body and unexpected failure of a
component part.
The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect
intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore
recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be
checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance.
Home and property owners or renters should continue to insure their
lives and property, even though they are protected by an alarm
system
