THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR PASSIVE
INFRARED MOTION DETECTOR
While the Passive Infrared Motion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion
detection device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary.
Any intrusion detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn for
a variety of reasons:
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the
designed ranges as diagrammed in this installation manual.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors do not provide volumetric area
protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can
only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
• Passive Infrared Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes
place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass
doors, or windows.
• Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on
the lenses, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce the
detection ability of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
• Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as
the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the
temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection
performance can decrease.
• This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without appropriate DC
power connected to it, or if the DC power is improperly connected (i.e.,
reversed polarity connections).
• Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical devices, are subject to
component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long
as 10 years, the electronic components in it could fail at any time.
We have cited some of the most common reasons that a Passive Infrared
Motion Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does not imply that
these are the only reasons, and therefore it is recommended that weekly
testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with weekly testing of the entire
alarm system, be performed to ensure that the detectors are working
properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance
rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners,
property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting
themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of
alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about
these developments.

ADEMCO SIX-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Alarm Device Manufacturing Company, a Division of Pittway Corporation,
and its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates ("Seller"), 165 Eileen Way,
Syosset, New York 11791, warrants this PIR Detector to be in conformance
with its own plans and specifications and to be free from defects in materials
and workmanship under normal use and service for 72 months from the date
stamp control on the product. Seller's obligation shall be limited to replacing,
at its option, free of charge for materials or labor, a PIR which is proved not
in compliance with Seller's specifications or proves defective in materials or
workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no obligation
under this Limited Warranty or otherwise if the PIR is altered or improperly
repaired or serviced by anyone other than Ademco factory service. In case
of defect, return the PIR to Ademco Distribution, Inc. or an authorized
Ademco distributor for an immediate replacement.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES,

LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE
OR FAULT.
Seller does not represent that its PIR may not be compromised or
circumvented; that the PIR will prevent any personal injury or property loss
by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the PIR will in all cases
provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly
installed and maintained alarm may only reduce the risk of a burglary,
robbery, fire or other events occurring without providing an alarm, but it is
not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no
personal injury or property loss as a result. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PIR FAILED TO
GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING
UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF
CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN
ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PIR, WHICH
SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST
SELLER. This warranty replaces any previous warranties and is the only
warranty made by Seller on this PIR. No increase or alteration, written or
verbal, of the obligations of this Limited Warranty is authorized.
