SilentKnight EVS - Manual (Page 4)

These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It
is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central
monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. The most common
cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices
and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm
installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection
and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by national and/or local fire
codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.
