MULTIPLE-STATION INSTALLATION

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.

CEILING MOUNTING:

1.Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Position the screw slots on the mounting bracket over the screws in the junction box. Tighten the screws.

2.Strip off about 1/2” of the plastic coating on the violet interconnect wire on the power connector.

3.Using wire nuts, connect the power con- nector to the AC power.

• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire (usually white) in the junction box.

•Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire (usually

black) in the junction box.

•Connect the violet wire on the power connector to the interconnect wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting. Never connect

the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the violet interconnect wire.

4. Plug the power connector into the back of the CO Alarm.

5.Position the base of the alarm over the mounting

bracket and turn. The Alarm can be positioned over the bracket every 60°. Turn the unit clockwise (right) until the unit is in place.

6. Make sure CO Alarm is secured to the mounting bracket.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all CO Alarms are completely installed. Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

7.Make sure each unit is receiving AC power. Under normal operation, the red light (LED) will shine con- tinuously. Display shows a dash under “READY”.

The CO sensor can quickly identify dangerous levels of this gas, sounding an alarm to alert residents and help them take necessary action.

The CO5120PDB features a user-friendly design, including a digital display that shows the current CO levels in parts per million (ppm). This allows users to monitor the levels of carbon monoxide in real time. The detector also comes with a voice alert feature, providing clear and understandable warnings in the event of smoke or CO detection, which helps in identifying the situation promptly.

Another significant characteristic of the CO5120PDB is its ability to operate even during power outages. It is equipped with a battery backup system that ensures continuous operation, making it ideal for locations where power interruptions may occur. Additionally, the device has a test/silence button that allows users to test the unit for functionality as well as silence false alarms if necessary.

Installation is straightforward with the CO5120PDB, which can be mounted on walls or ceilings, adhering to the recommendations of safety organizations regarding placement. The unit also features a sleek design that blends seamlessly into home decor, ensuring that safety doesn’t compromise aesthetics.

In conclusion, the BRK electronic CO5120PDB is an exemplary choice for those seeking robust protection against both carbon monoxide and smoke. Its dual-sensor technology, digital display, voice alerts, and battery backup make it an indispensable addition to any household, ensuring that residents can live with comfort and peace of mind, knowing they are protected from two of the most significant indoor hazards.
