Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed electronic chime to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date of manufacture.
System Sensor makes no other express warranty for this electronic chime. No agent, representa-
tive, dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter the obligations or
limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be limited to the
repair or replacement of any part of the speaker which is found to be defective in materials or
workmanship under normal use and service during the three year period commencing with the
date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll free number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for
a Return Authorization number, send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, Returns Department, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174. Please include a note
describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure. The Company shall not be obligated
to repair or replace units which are found to be defective because of damage, unreasonable use,
modifications, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case shall the Company
be liable for any consequential or incidental damages for breach of this or any other Warranty,
expressed or implied whatsoever, even if the loss or damage is caused by the Company’s negli-
gence or fault. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
FCC Statement
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
The chime/strobe must be powered from a non-coded power supply. This appliance is not
intended for use with a coded power supply.
The chime will not work without power. The chime gets its power from the fire/security panel
monitoring the alarm system. If power is cut off for any reason, the chime will not provide the
desired audio or visual warning.
The chime may not be heard. The loudness of the chime meets (or exceeds) current installation
standards for private mode operation. However, the chime may not alert a sound sleeper or one
who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The chime may not be
heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far away to be
heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery or music appliances that
may prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm. The chime may not be heard by persons who
are hearing impaired.
The Limitations of Chime/Strobes
WARNING
The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses an extremely reli-
able xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must not be installed in
direct sunlight or areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might
be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photic response to visual
stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environ-
ments in which strobe signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded power supplies produce inter-
rupted power. The strobe must have an uninterrupted source of power in order to operate correctly.
System Sensor recommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combination so that
the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.
