To install and interconnect multiple alarms:

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

2.Strip off about 1/2” (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the orange wire on the power connector.

3.Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the household wiring.

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

•Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.

•Connect the orange wire on the power connec- tor 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 orange interconnect wire.

4.Plug the power connector into the back of the smoke 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.

DANGER!

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

6.Make sure each unit is receiving AC power. Under normal operation, the green power indicator light will shine continuously.

7.Test each smoke alarm. Press and hold the test button until the unit alarms.

When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each unit individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.

NOTE: When power is applied, unit(s) may alarm momentarily.

IMPORTANT!

If any unit in the series does not alarm, TURN OFF POWER and recheck connections. If it does not alarm when you restore power, replace it immediately.

4120B, M06-2016-007 specifications

The BRK electronic M06-2016-007,4120B is a cutting-edge detection device designed for modern safety needs. This model exemplifies BRK's commitment to innovation, reliability, and user-friendly functionality. The M06-2016-007,4120B is primarily a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, ensuring comprehensive protection against two of the most prevalent household hazards.

One of the standout features of this model is its advanced photoelectric sensing technology. Unlike traditional ionization smoke detectors that rely on radioactive materials, the photoelectric sensor uses light beams to detect smoke particles effectively. This technology is particularly adept at identifying smoldering fires, which can produce higher amounts of smoke before bursting into flames, ultimately leading to quicker alerts for homeowners.

In addition to its smoke detection capabilities, the M06-2016-007,4120B efficiently monitors carbon monoxide levels. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly in high concentrations. The detector continuously samples the air and provides real-time readings to alert occupants when levels become dangerous. This dual functionality makes the M06-2016-007,4120B a two-in-one safety device, underscoring its versatility.

The alarm system of the M06-2016-007,4120B is robust and designed for maximum audibility, ensuring that even in the sleep state, alerts can be heard. It features a loud siren that meets industry standards, providing reassurance that occupants will be warned in the event of an emergency.

Powering the device is a reliable battery backup that ensures continued operation even in power outages, making it a dependable choice for safety-conscious consumers. Furthermore, the device incorporates a low-battery alert feature to remind users when it's time to replace the batteries, enhancing ongoing reliability.

Moreover, the M06-2016-007,4120B boasts an easy installation process, allowing homeowners to set it up without the need for professional assistance. The compact design ensures it can fit seamlessly into various home environments without being intrusive.

In conclusion, the BRK electronic M06-2016-007,4120B is a highly effective smoke and carbon monoxide detector that combines advanced technology with practical safety features. Its photoelectric sensing, dual detection capabilities, and reliable power backup position it as a must-have for any household looking to enhance its safety measures.
