The BLUGUARD Control Panel is designed for simple operation yet provides the maximum
protection for you. Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions contained in this
book. Fill in the system information page and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Your security system consists of a main control panel, one or more keypads and home automation
(HA) modules, various sensors and detectors. An enclosure will contain the control panel, which
includes the system electronics and standby battery.
To ensure that your system is functioning, it is important that you test your system weekly. Please
refer to testing procedures section in this manual. If your system does not function properly, please
contact your system installer for services. There is normally no reason for anyone other than the
installer or service professional to have access to the control panel.
Even though BLUGUARD is an advanced security system, it does not 100% guarantee the
protection against burglary, fire or other loses. Any alarm system whether commercial or residential
is subjected to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical
sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
Intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many sensing devices will not operate without
power. Devices powered by AC will not work if there is no AC power supply for any reason
and the back-up battery is missing, dead or improperly installed.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are
located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors.
Telephone line needed to transmit alarm events from the premise to a central monitoring
station may be out or temporary out of service. Telephone line is subject to compromise by
sophisticated method of attack.
Smoke detector used in conjunction with the alarm system may not sense fire that start
from where smoke cannot reach the detector such as wall, roof or the other side of the
doors. Smoke detector also may not sense a fire on another level of the residence or
building. In general, detectors may not always warn you about fire caused by carelessness
and safety hazards like smoking, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable material, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly when an intrusion or
fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. Therefore, your system should be tested weekly to
ensure all detectors or sensors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates but an alarm
system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should
continue to insure their lives and properties.
