Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this MGC System. Failure to
properly inform system end-users of the circumstances in which the system might fail may result in over-
reliance upon the system. As a result, it is imperative that you properly inform each customer for whom
you install the system of the possible forms of failure.
System Failures
All MGC Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However, there are
circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system failure include:
Inadequate Installation
All MGC Systems must be installed in accordance with all the applicable codes and standards in order to
provide adequate protection. National standards require an inspection and approval to be conducted by
the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction following the initial installation of the system and following any
changes to the system. Such inspections ensure installation has been carried out properly.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm a MGC System from operating as intended can be
discovered by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested by the Local
Authority Having Jurisdiction immediately after a fire, storm, earthquake, accident, or any kind of
construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices,
keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
End-users of the system must take care to ensure that the system, batteries,
telephone lines, etc. are tested and examined on a regular basis to minimize system failure.
System Users
It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they
know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
