Simon Security System 27
If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropri-
ate condition can be detected.
If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smoke Sensors cannot
detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sen-
sors may not detect smoke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in
time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of
flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.
If telephone lines are out of service.
Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test
your system at least once per week to be sure sensors, sirens, and phone communica-
tions are all working correctly.
Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premi-
ums, the system is no substitute for insurance.

Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop plans to help prepare
for a variety of emergency situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency
plans to include the following:
Understand how to use your security system
Know the normal state of doors and windows; open, closed, or locked.
Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.)
Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch.
Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation
during your escape.
Meet at a designated outdoor location.
Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire.
