SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Str
obe Lights along with residential smoke and carbon monoxide
alar
ms alone are not a suitable substitute for complete fire
detection systems in places housing many people—like apar
tment
buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dor
mitories, hospitals,
long-ter
m health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities,
or group homes of any kind—even if they were once single-family
homes. They ar
e not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection
systems in war
ehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings,
and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special
fir
e detection and alarm systems, typically in only the sleeping
ar
eas. Depending on the building codes in your area, these devices
may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.
LIMITATIONS OF STROBES
Str
obes and alarms may not waken all individuals.
Practice the
escape plan at least twice a year
, making sure that everyone is involved
– from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape
planning and practice befor
e holding a fire drill at night when they are
sleeping. If childr
en or others do not readily waken to audible or visual
signals, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations,
make sur
e that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in
the event of an emer
gency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill
while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response
while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in
the event of an emer
gency.
The str
obe cannot work without AC power.
The str
obe will not
operate if AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit
br
eaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical
fir
e that burns the electrical wires, etc.).
The Str
obe will not operate unless smoke, heat or CO reaches the
corresponding alarm.
Refer to the user’s manuals supplied with the
interconnected smoke, heat or CO alarms.
Strobes may not be seen. Hearing impaired individuals may not see
the visual notification if obstructions such as doors, walls, or bright
lights block the str
obe light. The use of alcohol or drugs may also
impair ones ability to respond to the visual signal.
Strobes are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, strobes are
made of components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must
test the unit weekly to ensure your continued protection. Strobes are
not a substitute for property or life insurance.
Hearing deficits may not be not apparent. If in doubt, consult your
doctor.
Strobes have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately
if it is not operating properly. Replace the strobe 10 years from date of
installation.
