Most accurate technology available for detecting carbon monoxide as compared to other sensing technologies.

120V AC, 60Hz Wire-in with 9V Battery Backup

Description:

The BRK Brands, Inc. Cat. No CO5120BN is a wire-in, 120 VAC 60Hz single and / or multiple station carbon monoxide alarm specifically designed for residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as defined in standard NFPA

101. Model CO5120BN complies with UL2034, NFPA 720, HUD, FHA and other agencies that model their codes after the above agencies. They meet building codes where AC/DC carbon monoxide alarms are required either separately or in combination. The alarms are interconnectable up to 18 devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.

LATCHING ALARM

INDICATOR

Remembers which unit initiated an alarm.

INTELLIGENT SENSING

TECHNOLOGY

Microprocessor controlled to reduce the number nuisance alarms.

TWO LOCKING

FEATURES

Pins lock battery drawer and/or alarm to base. Perfect for apartment, dormitory or hotel applications.

The BRK CO5120BN features an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, an

85dB horn, 9V battery back-up and a silence feature. “Intelligent Sensing

Technology” is designed to reduce nuisance alarms. “Latching Alarm Indicator” remembers which unit initiated an alarm. When interconnected in a series, the unit that triggered the alarm will store in memory or “latch” the information and begin to flash the LED indicator 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off. A single button test/silence button eliminates confusion. Battery installation and removal can occur while the unit is mounted to the ceiling or wall via the side load battery compartment. Other Contractor Preferred features include a dust cover to keep alarm clean during construction, keyhole slots in the mounting bracket eliminate the need to remove the electrical box screws for installation. Two locking features are provided to prevent battery theft and/or theft of the unit. Connection toAC power is made with a“Quick-Connect” wiring harness. Installation is quick, easy and cost effective.

The carbon monoxide alarm shall be a BRK Model CO5120BN and shall provide at a minimum the following features and functions:

1. An electrochemical CO sensor.

2. Powered by 120V AC, 60Hz and have a monitored 9V battery backup and a solid

state piezo horn rated at 85dB at 10 ft. and shall be capable of self restoring.

3. The unit shall perform self diagnostic tests and issue a malfunction warning

audibly (three chirps) if the unit malfunctions.

4. A visual LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or to confirm

unit has switched to battery backup mode.

5. The CO sensor is adjusted not to detect CO levels below 30 PPM and will not

alarm when exposed to constant levels of 30 PPM for 30 days. It will alarm

at the following levels: 400 PPM CO between 4 and 15 minutes, 150 PPM CO

between 10 and 50 minutes and 70 PPM CO between 60 and 240 minutes.

6. A test/silence button to check all alarm functions and to silence any nuisance

alarms. In addition, the unit shall have a low battery silence feature to quiet the

low battery chirp for up to eight hours.

7. A “Smart Interconnect” feature allows the unit to be interconnected to BRK

smoke alarms. During a smoke event, the CO5120BN horn pattern shall emit

the smoke alarm horn pattern (3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps pause). During a CO event,

the interconnected CO alarms sound their normal horn pattern.

8. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and

relative humidity between 10% and 95%.

9. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL2034, NFPA 720 and ICC.

Installation of this carbon monoxide alarm must conform to all B local electrical codes and Article 760 of the National Electrical

678

Code (NFPA 70) and NFPA 720. Interconnected units must meet the following requirements: Total length of wire interconnecting units should be less than 1000 feet, be #18 gauge or larger and be rated at least 300V. It is recommended that all units be on the same fuse or circuit breaker. If local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
