System Sensor warrants its enclosed SSM or SSV bell 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 SSM or SSV bell. No agent, representative,
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 SSM or SSV bell 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

System Sensor bells are designed to provide fire and security hazard
warning.
Bells may not work or operate properly if sprinkler piping being monitored
for water flow is plugged with pipe scale, mud, stones, or other foreign
material. Sprinkler systems should be checked regularly for such blocking
material following the instructions in Chapter 10 of NFPA 25.
BELLS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. Bells get their power from
the fire or security panel monitoring the alarm system or AC circuit. If
power is cut for any reason, the device will not provide the desired audible
warning.
Alarms generated by the activation of waterflow detectors or supervi-
sory switches may not be received by a central station if telephone or
other communication lines to the detector are out of service, disabled,
or open.
BELLS MAY NOT BE HEARD. The loudness of the alarm device meets or
exceeds current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the bell
may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has
been drinking alcoholic beverages. The bell may not be heard on a differ-
ent 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 BELL MAY NOT BE HEARD BY PERSONS WHO ARE HEARING
IMPAIRED.
If valves controlling the water supply to a sprinkler system are closed,
vane-type waterflow detectors will not work and bells will not sound. All
valves controlling a sprinkler water supply should be sealed or locked
in the normally open position. The normally open position of the valve
should be monitored by a valve supervisory switch.
