False Alarm Prevention (cont’d)
5. If You Fumigate Your Building: The chemical fog used in the
fumigation process may be sensed as smoke by fire alarm smoke
detectors and may also adversely affect area sensors. Therefore, be sure
to notify ADT BEFORE starting.
6. If You Change Your Telephone: Changes in the location of the
telephone outlets or telephone numbers could compromise the
effectiveness of your security system. Have an ADT service technician
inspect your system immediately after any such changes.
7. If You Install Anything Near Any System Device: If you install any
electrical or electronic equipment within a few feet of any element of your
security system, it could cause the security equipment to malfunction.
Discuss such installation plans with an ADT service technician prior to
proceeding with the installation.
8. If You Remodel or Renovate Your Building: During the course of
remodeling or renovating, there are often changes in telephone and/or
electrical circuits. In addition, large clouds of construction dust are
generated. Any of these can compromise the effectiveness of your security
system.
In addition, any change in the position of walls, or door or window
openings may disable certain sensors in your system. A change in the
location of mirrors, pictures, or other wall hangings, as well as fans or
large plants, could cause a false alarm when an area sensor is activated
by movement or reflections of movement.
Remember to discuss any renovation or redecorating with your ADT
representative before you start construction or redecorating, and once
again when you complete it.
