General Operation

Zones

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on your entry/exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom

to zone 02, and so on. These numbers appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour

backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

 

Fire Protection

 

 

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and

will sound an alarm if a

fire condition is detected. Refer to the

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

section for important information concerning

fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from the premises.

Burglary Protection

Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the perimeter only, allowing you to freely move within inside the premises. AWAY mode protects the entire system. Both modes provide an entry delay time that allows you to reenter the premises without setting off an alarm. For additional security, you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system by using the

NO DELAY

key in combination with the desired arming key. The system also allows you to bypass selected

zones before arming the system,

if desired. Refer

to the

BYPASSING

PROTECTION ZONES

section. The

system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting

users to

the opening of protected doors

and windows

 

while the system is disarmed.

 

 

 

 

 

You must turn on ("arm") the

burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary

 

alarms. To arm the system, enter your user code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY).

 

Refer to the

ARMING THE SYSTEM

 

section for detailed procedures and information.

 

Security Codes

At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal 4-digit security or “master user” code. You must enter the user code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. As

an additional security feature, other users who

do not need to know your code can be assigned up to 6

different security codes. Refer to the

SECURITY CODES

section for procedures on adding security codes to

the system.

 

 

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 15-seconds, and the keypad

will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the siren stops temporarily and voice

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.
