Important! Read Before You Install This Smoke Alarm

Read “Where To Install Smoke Alarms” and “Where Not To Install Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit monitors the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads. This unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed, maintained and located where smoke can reach it, and where all residents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

WARNING!

This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recommended that you install special units which use devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired residents.

WARNING!

Installation of this unit must conform to the electrical codes in your area; Article 760 of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 72, 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO); NBC (BOCA); OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or building codes that may apply. Wiring and installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or property damage.

WARNING!

This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned off by a

switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to connect this unit to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection.

WARNING!

This alarm must have AC or battery power to operate. If the AC power fails, battery back-up will allow the alarm to sound for at least 4 minutes (if the battery is weak, protection should last for up to 7 days.) If AC power fails and the battery is dead or missing, the alarm cannot operate.

WARNING!

It is possible an electrical fire could occur on the circuit powering this unit. If this happened, the power to the unit could be cut off and it may fail to alarm. Some safety experts recommend wiring warning devices like this unit on separate circuits from other appliances, since these circuits are not as likely to be overloaded. Other safety experts recommend wiring these units on the same circuits as appliances so it is more readily apparent if the circuit fails. Whichever circuit you choose, it is recommended you also install battery powered units as back-ups in case of fire on the circuit powering the AC powered units.

WARNING!

Never disconnect the power from an AC powered unit to stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically when it returns to normal operation. Never remove the batteries from a battery operated unit to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

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.
