Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a
fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have
been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of
closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the
residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke
detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide
timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in
bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, over-
loaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when
there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid
injury or death.
Warning: Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system be
completely tested on a regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but
not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this
product to fail to perform as expected.
