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 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 and digital display shows “Err”.

Dimensions: 5.4” diameter (approx.)

Supply Voltage: 120VAC 60Hz, 0.09A.

During Alarm: Repeating alarm horn pattern:

4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause.

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

•Interconnected series: red light (LED) flashes once per second on the Initiating alarm. The red light (LED) on all other alarms will shine continuously.

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.

CO5120PDB specifications

The BRK electronic CO5120PDB is a state-of-the-art combination carbon monoxide and smoke detector that offers enhanced safety features for modern homes. Designed with innovation in mind, this device aims to provide reliable protection against the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation from fires.

One of the standout features of the CO5120PDB is its dual-sensor technology. It incorporates both photoelectric and ionization sensors. The photoelectric sensor is highly effective in detecting slow-burning fires that produce a lot of smoke, while the ionization sensor is adept at detecting fast-flaming fires. This combination ensures comprehensive smoke detection, providing a higher level of safety and peace of mind for homeowners.

In addition to its advanced smoke detection capabilities, the CO5120PDB is equipped with a highly sensitive carbon monoxide sensor. Carbon monoxide is an insidious gas that cannot be seen or smelled, making it a silent threat in many households. 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.
