such as children playing with matches, arson, smoking in bed,
improper storage of hazardous materials, violent explosions,
escaping gas, or overloaded electrical circuits.
l
Even if a smoke detector operates as expected, due to the nature
of a particular fire and the location of detectors, the detector may
not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to safely
escape the building.
6) People located on the other side of closed or partially open doors, deep sleepers,
or hearing-impaired persons may not be alerted by alarm warning devices such as
sirens, horns, bells, etc., no matter how loud. Even individuals who have normal
hearing and are awake may not hear the warning devices if the sound is unintelligible
because of the noise of home entertainment equipment (e.g., TV, stereo, or radio),
appliances (e.g., air conditioners), or the noise of passing traffic.
7) Passive Infrared Detectors (PIR’s) can only detect intrusion in the area covered by
their detection beams, as determined by choice of lenses, mounting height, and
adjustment of sensors. PIR’s cannot sense intrusion that takes place behind closed
doors, walls, ceilings, glass doors or partitions, or windows. PIR’s do not detect
motion, but instead sense increases of temperature within the range of their beams.
Tampering with any part of the optical system of PIR’s (e.g., painting, spraying any
material, masking) can reduce detection ability. Performance of PIR’s can decrease if
the ambient temperature in the area covered by their beams increases to
to
105°F.
8) Even if the alarm system works as expected, building occupants may not have
enough time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. Further, authorities
may not respond appropriately to a monitored alarm system.
9) The telephone lines needed to send alarm signals to a monitoring station may be
out of service, or may have been tampered with by an intruder.
10) Components of the system, like all electrical devices, are subject to failure.
Although Capricorn Electronics maintains high standards of quality, users should be
aware that components can fail at any time.
While many insurance companies offer premium discounts for home and business
owners who install alarm systems, do not consider this system a substitute for
prudent insurance coverage for buildings and possessions.
Users of alarm systems should be aware of new alarm products and system improve-
ments for the sake of their own safety and the safety of their loved ones.

ever, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause radio or television interference, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on (be sure to include the backup battery),
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1) Re-orient the TV or radio antenna.
2) Move or relocate the main security control away from TV or
radio.
3) Plug the transformer for the main security control into a different
outlet so that the receiver and control are on different branch
circuits.
4) If necessary, the user should consult the installing alarm dealer
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional sug-
gestions.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications
