CO ALARM SPECIFICATIONS

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Required Alarm Levels: Before 10% COHb exposure at levels of 30% to 70% Relative Humidity (RH):

•400 ppm CO between 4 and 15 minutes

•150 ppm CO between 10 and 50 minutes

•70 ppm CO between 60 and 240 minutes When exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm of CO, this CO alarm was tested not to go into alarm for at least for 30 days.

Audible Alarm: 85dB minimum at 10 feet.

Power: Powered by 120VAC. The 9V battery back-up provides 8 hours of standby and sounds alarm for 12 hours with fresh battery. When AC power is on, red light (LED) shines continuously. Under battery power, red light flashes once a minute.

Malfunction: Horn chirps and light blinks 3 times (in rapid succession) every minute. Dimensions: 5.4” diameter (approx.)

Supply Voltage: 120VAC 60Hz .085A Standby .087A Alarm

During Alarm: Repeating alarm horn pattern: 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause.

•Stand-alone unit: red light (LED) flashes rapidly, once per second.

•Interconnected series: red light (LED) flashes rapidly, once per second on the Initiating alarm. Red light (LED) on all other alarms will not flash.

Warranty: 5-year limited warranty.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide exposure.” This CO alarm monitors the air, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

CO5120B specifications

The BRK electronic CO5120B is a state-of-the-art carbon monoxide detector that serves as an essential safety device for households and commercial spaces. Designed with advanced technologies and features, the CO5120B ensures reliable detection of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that can be extremely harmful or even fatal.

One of the standout features of the CO5120B is its electrochemical sensor, which is both sensitive and accurate in detecting low levels of carbon monoxide. This technology not only enhances the unit's reliability but also ensures a quicker response time in the event of a CO leak. The detector has a measurement range of 30 to 999 parts per million (PPM), allowing it to monitor a wide range of potential threat levels.

The CO5120B also comes equipped with a digital display that shows real-time CO levels, providing users with instant information about the air quality in their environment. This feature is particularly beneficial as it enables users to assess potential risks immediately and take necessary actions before escalating issues occur. The display also features a peak level memory that records the highest level of carbon monoxide detected since the last reset, aiding in diagnosing potential problems over time.

Battery backup is another critical characteristic of the CO5120B. With a 9V battery backup option, the unit continues to provide protection even during power outages, ensuring that families and occupants remain safe under any circumstances. Meanwhile, an end-of-life signal alerts users when it's time to replace the detector, ensuring long-term effective monitoring.

The CO5120B is designed with a low-profile, sleek look, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any home decor.
