Visual signal must be installed within 16 feet of the pillow when used in a sleeping area.
Visual signal must be in the direct viewing area of the occupant in order to be seen.
Visual signal cannot be seen when objects such as doors, furniture or walls block strobe light.
NOTICE: VISUAL SIGNALS FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED ARE ONLY ONE METHOD OF ALERTING THE HEARING IMPAIRED.
VISUAL SIGNALS MAY NOT BE THE PREFERRED METHOD FOR NOTIFYING ALL HEARING IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS.
NOTICE: THE STROBE LIGHT MUST BE SEEN BY THE SLEEPING PERSON. IF THE PERSON HAS HEAD TURNED OR OTHERWISE UNABLE TO BE ALERTED BY VISUAL, THE STROBE
WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE.
Visual signal should NEVER be relied upon as the primary fire alert for the hearing impaired under these common sense conditions:
a. Sleeping face down on the bedding or pillow
b. Use of sleep medications of any kind
c. Use of alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs
d. Use of eye shades
e. If there are tendencies of deep sleep conditions
f.
If a fire cuts power to AC circuits, the visual signal will not operate
g. If person is not within line of sight of visual signals
Under these and other similar common situations an alternate fire alert method such as a non-hearing impaired attendant is needed. The visual signal only increases the chance
of being alerted to the presence of fire. No system of this type can fully protect the hearing impaired in case of fire.
