IMPORTANT!
PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a
home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the
upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals
can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of
order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).
EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION
Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key
role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of
smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire
Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be
found on page 43 of this manual.
