Trouble Messages

Typical Trouble Condition Displays

To silence the beeping sound for fault conditions, press any key.
FAULT	Indicates that a problem exists with the zone(s) displayed, accompanied by rapid beeping.
	First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not. If the
	zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture, televisions,
	etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected,
	the zone descriptor(s) and	FAULT	should disappear from the display. If not, key an OFF
	sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A fault condition can also indicate a
	wiring problem. If the “FAULT” display persists, notify your service company. Note that the
	system will not allow arming if a fault condition exists. To arm the system with a fault
	condition present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the fault condition.
FC	Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system
	or a problem with the phone line existed when dialing was attempted.				†
CC	Indicates that the control is on-line with the central station's remote computer. The control
	will not operate while on-line. Wait a few minutes. The display should disappear.
dI	If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled.					†
CA	Indicates a cancelled alarm. See		Entry/Exit Delay		section
EA	Indicates an exit alarm. See	Entry/Exit Delay		section.
90	Indicates that the system has detected an RF jam condition or excessive interference. If the
	condition persists, notify your service company.
LOW BAT	Accompanied by a once-per 45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low system
(no zone no. )	battery condition exists. Refer to the Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery section.					†
LOW BAT	Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery
(with zone no. )	condition exists in the wireless transmitter displayed.				†
LOW BAT	Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery
(with zone 00 )	condition exists in a wireless keypad.		†
†Notify your service company.

Routine Care

• Treat the components of your security	system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam
sensor-protected doors or windows.

•Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.

• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth.	Do not spray water or any
other fluid on the units.

1, K596-1 9 specifications

The First Alert K596-1 9,1 is a state-of-the-art smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detector designed to enhance home safety. This innovative device combines advanced features and cutting-edge technology to provide reliable protection against two of the leading causes of accidental deaths in the home.

One of the standout features of the K596-1 is its **photoelectric smoke sensing technology**. This technology is particularly effective at detecting slow-smoldering fires, which typically produce larger particles of smoke. By using a light source and a sensor, the device can identify these particles quickly, thus reducing the likelihood of false alarms that are common with traditional ionization detectors.

In addition to smoke detection, the K596-1 also features a **carbon monoxide sensor**. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal in high concentrations. The detector continuously monitors for this dangerous gas, providing peace of mind for families. If elevated levels are detected, the alarm will sound, alerting occupants to the potential danger.

The First Alert K596-1 is designed with **user-friendly features** in mind. An easy-to-read LED display provides real-time information on battery status and system functionality. The unit also includes a voice alert feature that announces the type of danger detected, whether smoke or carbon monoxide, making it easier for occupants to respond appropriately.

Battery life is another important characteristic of the K596-1. It utilizes a long-life battery that can last for several years, reducing the frequency of battery changes and ensuring that the device remains operational without constant maintenance. The easy-access battery compartment allows for a straightforward replacement when necessary.

Installation is simple, too, making the K596-1 accessible to users of all skill levels. The device can be mounted on walls or ceilings, and its compact design ensures that it blends seamlessly into any home environment.

In summary, the First Alert K596-1 9,1 is a crucial safety device that combines advanced detection capabilities with user-friendly features. Its photoelectric sensing technology and carbon monoxide detection work in tandem to provide comprehensive coverage against fire and gas hazards. With its easy installation and reliable performance, the K596-1 is a wise investment for anyone looking to enhance their home safety.
