IMPORTANT!
PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible
point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any
skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so
that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event
that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over
the phone lines).
EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION
Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors
have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard
to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's
National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on
page 43 of this manual.
