Remote Phone Control Feature

The ReadyGuard-REN is equipped with a remote interactive phone capability that permits access to the security system from any off-site touch-tone telephone using all user codes. If this feature has been programmed, the system will provide the appropriate voice messages and any system beeping sounds indicating the status of the security system over the phone line. (Refer to Summary of Audible Notification for further information.) The following functions can be performed from any remote touch-tone telephone:

•Disarm the system.

• Arm the system in STAY or AWAY mode.

• Activate or deactivate X-10 devices.

• Bypass zones.

• Check system status.

The remote access session will be aborted if:

•A report must be sent.

•Any local or wireless key entry (e.g. 5827), except [*], is made.

•User Code is not entered within eight (8) seconds of call pickup (during the “system…..system announcement).

•No keys are depressed for a period of 15 seconds and while no announcement has been made by the system. Any remote key entry will, however extend this timeout back to 15 seconds.

It will not be possible to begin a remote access session if:

•A report must be sent

•The system is in any Test mode.

•During real time clock setting.

•During scheduling setup.

•Panel is in shutdown mode (programmed by your installer).

•Panel is in Macro learning mode.

•Remote phone control feature has not been enabled by your installer.

NOTE: If a remote phone session is not granted by the system, for any of the reasons identified above, a modem tone will be generated before the end of the session.

Using Remote Phone Control Feature

Dial the controls’s phone number. If no answering machine is present, the control will pick up between 1 and 14 rings, depending on the number programmed by your installer and will periodically announce “SYSTEM”. During a remote phone control session “PC” will be displayed on the control.

Enter:

Your user code

(within eight seconds)

The system status will be announced. Enter phone control commands as described on the next page:

If an answering machine is on the premises, you need to dial the premises and hang up on the first ring.

Wait at least five (5) seconds (but no more than 22 seconds) and dial the premises phone number again. The control will pick up and periodically announce “SYSTEM”.

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.
