Security Codes

General Information

For additional security you (the Master User Code) can assign secondary user codes to individual users enabling them to perform specific system functions. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers"

when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 6 user codes (2-digit user numbers 03-08). Note that the master user is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users, and is designated user no. 02; user

no. 01 is the Installer’s code.

All codes can be used interchangeably 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 Babysitter Code described below.

Babysitter Code (User 07): This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the systemunless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who

needs to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The Babysitter Code is assigned to User 07.

Duress Code (User 08): This feature is 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 alarm monitoring company

of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress Code is assigned to User 08.

The Duress Code is useful only when the system is connected to an alarm monitoring company.

To Add/Delete a User or Change a User's Code

Changing the Master User Code

Follow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter User No. 02 and enter the new code twice.

IMPORTANT:Temporary users of the system (e.g., babysitters, cleaning staff) should not be shown how to use any system function they do not need to know, such as bypassing protection zones for example.

Sequential key depressions for all steps in a procedure must be made within 2 seconds of one another, or else the entire entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.

Add a user code:

Master user code

Delete a user code:

Master user code

+CODE Key + user number (03-08) + user’s code

+CODE Key + user number (03-08)

Wait (about 3 seconds) until the keypad beeps once before pressing any other key. The code is automatically deleted.

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.
