Zones and Partitions

•The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).

•Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor.

•Partitions (FA168CPS) provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.

•Partitioned systems (FA168CPS) can include a common zone area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).

Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection

•The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.

•To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key.

•If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed instead of entering the security code when arming the system.

•You can also use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets you use a function key to arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly.

•To disarm the system, enter your user code then press the [OFF] key.

Alarms

•When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.

•If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message will also be sent.

•To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

Memory of Alarm

•When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g., “FIRE”).

•The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be cleared with another “off” sequence.

Function Keys

•The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform various functions.

•Functions include: activate a Panic alarm; arm the system; provide step arming; switch lights on/off; send a message to a pager; display Time/Date; start a Macro

Scheduling

•Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.

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.
