The sounder will not operate if the power is cut off for any reason.
The sounder may not be heard. The loudness of the sounder meets or exceeds the current
standards. However, the sounder may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently
used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This sounder may not be heard if
it is placed in an area that is separated by a closed door, or if it is located on a different
floor from the person in a hazardous situation, or if it is placed too far away to be heard
THE LIMITATIONS OF SOUNDERS
over ambient noise, such as, traffic, air conditioners, machinery or musical appliances
that may prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm.
The sounder may not be heard by persons who are hearing-impaired. In this case, a
visual indicator shall also be used.
For these reasons, Pittway recommends that sounders (85dBA minimum at 10 feet)
used in a residence shall be placed on every level and in every bedroom that does not
have a smoke detector with a built-in sounder.

tial or incidental damages for breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied
