FCD2N specifications

The BRK electronic FCD2N is a cutting-edge smoke detector designed for safety and reliability in residential and commercial environments. This device combines advanced technology and user-friendly features, making it a preferred choice among consumers and professionals alike.

One of the standout features of the FCD2N is its dual-sensor technology. It utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensors, which work in tandem to detect a wide range of smoke particles. The photoelectric sensor is highly effective in identifying smoldering fires, while the ionization sensor excels at detecting fast-flaming fires. This dual capability ensures comprehensive detection, providing peace of mind for users.

Additionally, the FCD2N includes a built-in carbon monoxide (CO) detector. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer, and having an integrated CO sensor enhances the safety of the unit by alerting residents to this odorless, colorless gas. This multi-functional aspect not only increases the device's effectiveness but also reduces the need for separate detectors, saving installation space and costs.

The FCD2N operates on a reliable battery system, providing extended battery life to ensure continuous operation even during power outages. Its low-battery warning feature notifies users when it’s time to replace the battery, making maintenance straightforward. Moreover, the unit is designed for easy installation, with the option for wall or ceiling mounting.

Another remarkable characteristic of the FCD2N is its test and hush button, allowing users to easily test the functionality of the smoke and CO alarms with a simple press. The hush feature is particularly useful for temporarily silencing false alarms caused by cooking or other non-threatening sources of smoke.

The FCD2N not only meets but often exceeds stringent safety standards, ensuring that it performs effectively when it matters most. Its sturdy construction offers durability, providing long-lasting service in demanding environments.

In summary, the BRK electronic FCD2N smoke and carbon monoxide detector offers both advanced technology and user-friendly features. Its dual-sensor technology, integrated CO detection, reliable battery operation, and convenient testing functions make it an excellent choice for enhancing safety in any household or commercial space. With a focus on innovation and reliability, the FCD2N stands out as a leader in the market for fire safety devices.
