General Operation

announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been

announced, the siren sounds

again

and the cycle repeats itself,

until the system is disarmed (code +

OFF) or until alarm bell timeout

occurs. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop

the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayed indicating

memory of alarm. Refer to the

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

section for information about clearing the

memory of alarm display

 

 

Two-Way Voice Feature

The ReadyGuard-REN supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and an individual at the premises. This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with an individual(s) at the premises and allows the operator to gather information about the nature and location of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to fire, police or rescue departments. If the Two-way Voice Feature has been programmed and an alarm condition is detected the system sends an alarm message to the

central station. After acknowledgement is received, a “listen in to follow” message is sent to the central station. By responding to this message the central station operator can enter commands that allow him to initiate a 5-minute voice session. The options allow the operator to enter the following modes:

•Talk: Allows the operator to speak to individuals at the premises through the system speaker.

•VOX (2-way voice): Allows the operator to hold a two-way (speak and listen) conversation with individuals at the premises.

•Listen : Allows the operator to listen to any activity at the premises through the system microphone.

If a subsequent zone is violated during a voice session, the system will terminate the session and process the alarm. During the voice session, the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs will alternately blink in the Talk and VOX Modes but not during Listen Mode.

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.
