FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!

This unit is designed to be mounted on the ceiling, or on the wall if necessary.

Tools you will need:

•Pencil

•Drill with 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit

•Standard/flathead screwdriver

•Hammer

1.Hold base firmly and pull up on cover tab marked “OPEN HERE.” This will open the hinged cover. The cover may unsnap from the base if it's opened too far. This will not damage the unit—the cover hinge snaps back into place easily.

2.Hold the smoke alarm base against the ceiling (or wall) and make a mark at the center of each of the mounting slots with a pencil.

3.Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4.Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through each pencil mark.

5.Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6.Tighten the screws (provided) into the screw anchors, then loosen them two turns.

7.Fit the smoke alarm over the screw heads as shown. Close cover.

8.If the smoke alarm cover does not line up the way you want it, rotate the base and re-tighten the screws.

9.Activate the battery. With the cover open, remove and reinstall the battery so the terminals on the battery match the terminals on the smoke alarm. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push the battery in until it snaps in securely and cannot be shaken loose.

If the battery is not snapped in completely, the unit cannot receive battery power. The smoke alarm may beep briefly when you install the battery—this is normal.

Once the battery is installed, the red power indicator light (behind the test button) will flash once a minute to show you the smoke alarm is working.

10.Close the cover all the way.

11.Test the smoke alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”

83R, SA67B specifications

BRK electronic SA67B and SA83R are advanced smoke and carbon monoxide detectors designed to offer unparalleled safety and reliability in residential and commercial settings. These devices are part of BRK's commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative life safety products that meet stringent safety standards.

The SA67B is equipped with a photoelectric smoke sensing technology, which is particularly effective in detecting smoldering fires that produce excessive smoke before bursting into flames. This feature helps reduce false alarms while ensuring timely alerts in case of a fire. The unit comes with a loud 85-decibel alarm that activates when smoke is detected, making it ideal for both silent and noisy environments.

In contrast, the SA83R combines both smoke and carbon monoxide detection in a single unit, providing comprehensive protection against two of the most dangerous hazards in the home. This model utilizes a dual-sensor system, incorporating both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies. The integration of these technologies improves the overall response time to various types of fires, from quick-flaming to slow-smoldering.

One of the standout characteristics of both models is their easy installation. The detectors are designed for either wall or ceiling mounting, with a sleek design that blends seamlessly into home decor. The devices are powered by replaceable batteries, ensuring continuous operation without the need for hardwiring.

Safety features also include a test/reset button that allows users to check functionality easily. In addition, the SA83R features a voice alarm that announces the specific danger detected, whether it be smoke or carbon monoxide, thereby reducing confusion during emergencies.

Both the SA67B and SA83R are engineered with end-of-life signals, alerting users when it is time to replace the unit, typically after 10 years of service. This ensures that your safety devices are always functioning optimally and provide peace of mind over their lifespan.

In summary, the BRK electronic SA67B and SA83R detectors are essential tools for protecting lives and property from the dangers of fire and carbon monoxide. Their advanced sensing technologies, user-friendly features, and reliable performance make them a top choice for consumers looking to enhance their safety measures at home.
