1.An ionization sensing chamber.

2.The unit shall be capable of self restoring.

3.Powered by a sealed 10-year lithium battery powercell with tamperproof design.

4.The tamperproof design shall not allow the powercell to be removed after installation. A low power warning indicator shall cause the alarm to “chirp” when it reaches the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit shall meet UL requirements for disabling the alarm and non-reinstallation of unit to mounting bracket.

5.A solid state piezo horn rated at 85dB at 10 ft.

6.A visual LED (red) power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power.

7.A single button test/silence feature. Test button should check all alarm functions by simulating a smoke condition, causing the unit to alarm. The silence feature to temporarily silence unwanted alarms.

8.The unit shall be capable of operating between 40º F (4º C) and 100º F (38º C) and relative humidity between 10% and 90%.

9.The unit shall include mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall or ceiling mounting.

10.The unit shall have an optional locking mechanism to deter removal of the unit.

11.The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, NFPA 101, ICBO, BOCA, SBCCI and CABO.

SA340B specifications

The BRK electronic SA340B is a state-of-the-art smoke and carbon monoxide detector designed for residential use, providing enhanced safety features to homeowners. This versatile device integrates advanced technologies that ensure reliable performance and comprehensive protection against fire hazards and carbon monoxide exposure.

One of the main features of the SA340B is its dual-sensor system, which utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies. The photoelectric sensor is particularly effective in detecting smoldering fires that produce large amounts of smoke, such as those from furniture or bedding, while the ionization sensor responds quickly to fast-flaming fires fueled by paper or flammable liquids. This dual approach allows for a more effective detection range, significantly increasing the likelihood of early warning.

Another important characteristic of the SA340B is its built-in carbon monoxide (CO) detection capability. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be produced by various household appliances, including furnaces, water heaters, and vehicles. The SA340B continuously monitors CO levels in the environment and will emit an audible alarm if concentrations reach dangerous levels, providing an essential layer of safety for families.

The SA340B is designed for ease of installation and maintenance. It features a compact, sleek design that fits seamlessly into any home decor. The device can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings, and it operates on standard battery power, which ensures that it continues to function during power outages. Furthermore, the unit includes a low battery indicator, alerting users when the batteries need replacing, as well as a test/silence button for quick functionality checks.

Latency is minimized in the SA340B due to its rapid response time, ensuring that alerts are issued promptly in the event of smoke or CO detection. The alarm is loud enough to be heard throughout the house, even in the case of sleep or background noise.

In summary, the BRK electronic SA340B combines advanced dual-sensor technology with carbon monoxide detection to offer comprehensive protection for residential settings. Its user-friendly design and maintenance features make it an excellent choice for families seeking peace of mind in fire safety and carbon monoxide awareness. The SA340B stands as a reliable ally in promoting safety within the home environment.
