Bypassing Protection Zones

Bypassing Individual Zones

Use the

BYPASS

key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected.

 

Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed.

All

bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed

. Bypasses are

also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass command is not successful.

The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.

The system must be disarmed first.

To bypass a zone(s):

Your user code

+

BYPASS

+ 2-digit zone number(s)

for zone(s) to be

bypassed (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.)

Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by a zero (for example, enter 01 for zone 1).

The keypad will provide a confirmation beep and display the word “BYPASS” along with each bypassed zone number. Wait for these zones to be displayed, to be sure that intended zones are bypassed.

Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.

Forced Bypass

Your system may allow you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. Ask your installer if this feature is active.

To bypass a zone(s):

Your user code

+

BYPASS

+

FUNCTION

In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed along with the word “BYPASS.” Wait for these zones to be displayed before arming. Arming the system before zones are displayed eliminates all bypasses.

Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.

Displaying Bypassed Zones

The system allows you to determine what zones have been previously bypassed. Bypassed zones can be displayed only when the system is disarmed, and when the “BYPASS” message described above is displayed.

To display bypassed zone(s):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+

BYPASS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your user code

In a few moments, all open zones will be sequentially displayed along with the word “BYPASS.”

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.
