Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions. In addition, you can assign different security codes for use by other users (FA168CPS provides 47 additional codes; FA148CP provides 31 additional codes).

Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign user codes to users.

Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers and are pre-assigned to either partition 1 or partition 2 (FA168CPS).

Only the Installer or System Master can change user partitions.

In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes.

User codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Guest code and Arm Only code described below.

User code programming involves these steps:

1.Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.

2.Assign an authority level to that user.

3.Assign other attributes as necessary (see attributes on the next page).

NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations. Therefore, the only step you usually need to do when adding users is assign a user number (from the partition’s pre-assigned user numbers) and a security code.

System Master

 

Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign codes in

Master code + [8] + 02 + new master code + new master code again

Standard User

Can only perform security functions in assigned partition.

 

 

Cannot perform other system functions.

1

Arm Only

Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.

 

 

 

2

Guest

Can arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system

 

 

unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to

 

 

someone (e.g., babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm the system

 

 

only at certain times. The user of this code should not use the “Quick Arming”

 

 

feature.

 

 

 

3

Duress Code

Intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under

 

 

threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the

 

 

Central Monitoring Station of your situation, if that service has been provided.

 

 

 

4

Partition Master

(FA168CPS) Can do everything a standard user can do, and

 

 

can assign user codes to users in their partition.

First Alert K5309-5V2 manual 6HFXULW\&RGHV$XWKRULW\/HYHOV, $ERXW6HFXULW\&RGHV, $Xwkrulw\/Hyhohilqlwlrqv

K5309-5V2 specifications

The First Alert K5309-5V2 is an advanced smoke and carbon monoxide detector that offers essential protection for homes and businesses. This device is designed to enhance safety by detecting smoke and harmful carbon monoxide gases promptly, ensuring timely alerts to prevent emergencies.

One of the standout features of the K5309-5V2 is its clever dual sensor technology. This model utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensors, which means it can effectively detect different types of fires. Photoelectric sensors are particularly efficient at identifying smoldering fires that produce more smoke, while ionization sensors excel at detecting fast-flaming fires. This combination significantly increases the likelihood of early detection, contributing to quicker response times and reducing the risks associated with fire incidents.

The K5309-5V2 also employs an advanced carbon monoxide detection system. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be extremely dangerous, and the K5309-5V2 provides precise detection to alert users in case of an elevated CO level. With a loud 85-decibel alarm, users are ensured that they will hear the alarm even from a distance.

Another notable characteristic of this detector is its easy installation process. The K5309-5V2 can be mounted on walls or ceilings and comes with an easy-to-understand user manual that simplifies setup. The device is powered by batteries, ensuring it remains operational even during power outages.

Moreover, First Alert has incorporated a convenient test and silence button that allows users to routinely test the functionality of the alarm and silence false alarms without removing the battery.

The design of the K5309-5V2 is another merit, featuring a sleek and compact profile that blends well with various home interiors. It is also equipped with a battery- saving mode that extends the life of the battery, minimizing the frequency of replacements.

Overall, the First Alert K5309-5V2 smoke and carbon monoxide detector presents a reliable, dual-sensor solution that prioritizes safety and convenience. Its combination of innovative technologies, ease of use, and effective alarm response makes it a valuable addition to any safety system, helping protect what matters most in any environment.
