Maintaining your system

The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. To make sure

 

 

that your system is in working condition, do the following:

 

 

 

1. Test your system weekly.

 

 

 

2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see the

TESTING THE SYSTEM

section

).

Low Battery Conditions in Wireless Sensors

Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects low battery conditions in wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless keypad, and displays a “LOW BAT” message on the master keypad, which also beeps. A low battery in a wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the master keypad (e.g. Ademco 5827) will display “00”. In addition, a wireless smoke detector with a low battery also emits a "chirp" sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery.

NOTE: A low battery message means that battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor with a low battery is still operational.

To silence Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad:

Press the

OFF

key .

The low battery message display will remain on as a reminder. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal to the control when the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.).

To clear the “LOW BAT” message enter:

+

Your user code

OFF

key.

When replacing batteries, use only those recommended by your installer.

 

Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service.

3-volt

lithium batteries may provide from 4-7 years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sens

or is

used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such a

s

humidity, high or low temperatures, and large swings in temperature may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an

 

installation.

 

 

 

Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery

In the event of an AC power loss, the ReadyGuard-REN is powered by a rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The battery pack should be replaced when a “LOW BAT” message with no zone number is displayed.

NOTE: The battery pack (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-SC or LYNXRCHKIT-HC) should be changed every four years and must be replaced by a qualified service technician.

Following battery pack replacement, rechargeable batteries may take up to 48 hours to charge. The “LOW

BAT” message may be displayed after one minute, however it should clear within 4 hours or by entering

Test Mode.

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.
