Description:

The BRK Brands, Inc. Model Numbers 9120 and 9120B are wire-in, 120V AC 60Hz single and/or multiple station smoke alarms 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. Models 9120 and 9120B comply with UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other agencies that model their codes after the above agencies. They meet building codes where AC and AC/DC with Silence smoke alarms are required. The alarms are interconnectable with up to 18 devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.

The BRK® 9120 Series alarms feature a dual ionization smoke sensing chamber screened for insect protection, an 85dB horn, 9V battery back-up (all versions except model 9120) and a “silence” feature. The “Smart Technology” system is designed to reduce nuisance alarms. “Latching Alarm Indication” remembers which unit initiated an alarm. When interconnected in a series, the unit that triggered the alarm rapidly flashes its red LED indicator. After the alarm condition subsides, the initiating unit will store in memory or “latch” the information and begin to flash the green LED indicator 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off. The “Perfect Mount” system features a gasketless base and a mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for true alignment. This will allow fine-tuning on the positioning to compensate for out of aligned wall studs and to keep the wording level when wall mounting. A Single button test/silence button eliminates confusion. Depending on what mode the alarm is in, pushing the button will test, silence, re-test the alarm when in silence and clear the latching feature. 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 to AC

power is made with a “Quick-Connect” wiring harness. Installation is quick, easy and cost effective.

The First Alert 9120 series, including models like the 9120, 9120B, 9120AB, 9120LB, and various others, is a popular lineup of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors renowned for their reliability and advanced safety features. These devices are integral components of home safety systems, offering critical protection against the dangers of smoke and carbon monoxide in residential spaces.

One of the defining features of the First Alert 9120 series is its use of an ionization sensor, which is effective in detecting fast-flaming fires. This technology allows for rapid identification of smoke particles, ensuring timely alerts. Additionally, these smoke detectors are equipped with a loud 85-decibel alarm, ensuring that occupants are awakened even during deep sleep, which is crucial in emergencies.

The 9120B and 9120AB models also incorporate a battery backup system, ensuring that the detector remains functional even during power outages. This feature is particularly valuable, as emergencies can occur at any time. Many models in this series are designed to be hardwired but offer the option of battery backup for added peace of mind.

Furthermore, the First Alert 9120 series includes a Smart Technology feature in some variants, allowing for connections with other smoke or carbon monoxide alarms within the home. This interconnected system ensures that all alarms will sound simultaneously when one alarm detects smoke or CO, providing an enhanced layer of safety across larger living spaces.

Another notable aspect of the 9120 series is its ease of installation. The devices come with mounting hardware that allows homeowners to set them up quickly without requiring professional assistance. This accessibility helps ensure that more homes can be equipped with crucial safety devices.

Additionally, many models in the 9120 series feature a convenient test/silence button, allowing users to easily check the functionality of the alarm and silence false alarms without dismantling the unit. The LED indicator lights also provide visual confirmation of the detector's operational status.

In conclusion, the First Alert 9120 series represents a comprehensive solution for smoke and carbon monoxide detection. With its robust features, including ionization sensors, battery backup, and easy installation, it sets a standard in home safety. Investing in one of these devices is a proactive step toward safeguarding households against the potential dangers of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.
