Interconnecting Multiple

Smoke Alarms

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone units, especially if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit in the series senses smoke, all units will alarm. To determine which smoke alarm initiated an alarm, see table:

On Initiating Alarm(s)

Red LED(s) flashes(flash)

 

rapidly

 

 

On All Other Alarms

Red LED is Off

 

 

All wiring must conform to all local electrical codes and Article 760 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Refer to NFPA 72, Chapter 2 and/or your local building code for further connection requirements.

WARNING!

AC and AC/DC smoke alarms can be interconnected. Under AC power, all units will alarm when one senses smoke. When power is interrupted, only the AC/DC units in the series will continue to send and receive signals. AC powered smoke alarms will not operate.

IMPORTANT!

Interconnect units within a single family residence only. Otherwise all households will experience unwanted alarms when you test any unit in the series.

Interconnected units will only work if they are wired to compatible units and all requirements are met. This unit is designed to be compatible with:

BRK Electronics® Smoke Alarms 100S, 2002RAC, 4120B, 4120SB, 4919, 5919, 5919TH, 86RAC; BRK Electronics® Heat Alarm HD6135F; and First Alert® Smoke Alarms SA4120B, SA4121B, SA4919B, SA86B, SA100B.

Interconnected units must meet ALL of the following requirements:

•A maximum of 18 units total may be intercon- nected (Maximum of 12 smoke alarms).

•The same fuse or circuit breaker must power all interconnected units.

•The total length of wire interconnecting the units should be less than 1000 feet (300 meters). The interconnect wire should be #18 gauge or larger, rated at least 300V.

•If an interconnect wire is not already part of your household wiring, you will need to install one. This type of wire is commonly available at Hard- ware and Electrical Supply stores.

WARNING!

Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection.

4120B, M06-2016-007 specifications

The BRK electronic M06-2016-007,4120B is a cutting-edge detection device designed for modern safety needs. This model exemplifies BRK's commitment to innovation, reliability, and user-friendly functionality. The M06-2016-007,4120B is primarily a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, ensuring comprehensive protection against two of the most prevalent household hazards.

One of the standout features of this model is its advanced photoelectric sensing technology. Unlike traditional ionization smoke detectors that rely on radioactive materials, the photoelectric sensor uses light beams to detect smoke particles effectively. This technology is particularly adept at identifying smoldering fires, which can produce higher amounts of smoke before bursting into flames, ultimately leading to quicker alerts for homeowners.

In addition to its smoke detection capabilities, the M06-2016-007,4120B efficiently monitors carbon monoxide levels. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly in high concentrations. The detector continuously samples the air and provides real-time readings to alert occupants when levels become dangerous. This dual functionality makes the M06-2016-007,4120B a two-in-one safety device, underscoring its versatility.

The alarm system of the M06-2016-007,4120B is robust and designed for maximum audibility, ensuring that even in the sleep state, alerts can be heard. It features a loud siren that meets industry standards, providing reassurance that occupants will be warned in the event of an emergency.

Powering the device is a reliable battery backup that ensures continued operation even in power outages, making it a dependable choice for safety-conscious consumers. Furthermore, the device incorporates a low-battery alert feature to remind users when it's time to replace the batteries, enhancing ongoing reliability.

Moreover, the M06-2016-007,4120B boasts an easy installation process, allowing homeowners to set it up without the need for professional assistance. The compact design ensures it can fit seamlessly into various home environments without being intrusive.

In conclusion, the BRK electronic M06-2016-007,4120B is a highly effective smoke and carbon monoxide detector that combines advanced technology with practical safety features. Its photoelectric sensing, dual detection capabilities, and reliable power backup position it as a must-have for any household looking to enhance its safety measures.
