IMPORTANT!

Most carbon zinc batteries have an average service life of 1 year; most alkaline batteries have an average service life of 1-2 years; most Lithium batteries have an average service life of 6-10 years. Actual service life depends on the smoke alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

If This Smoke Alarm Sounds

If the alarm sounds and you are not testing it, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention.

WARNING!

NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death. If the unit alarms and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately.

Responding To An Alarm

If the unit alarms and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the dwelling immediately. Stay calm and follow your family escape plan. Stay as low to the ground as possible, and cover your mouth with a damp cloth. Never open a door before testing to see if it is hot. Call the Fire Department from outside, and give them your address then name. Read “What To Do In Case Of Fire” at the end of this manual for more information.

If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire—cooking smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—open a nearby window or door and fan the smoke away from the unit (Model 4120SB only: use the Silence Feature to silence the alarm). This will silence the alarm, and once the smoke clears the unit will reset itself automatically.

NOTE:

When an interconnected system of AC powered units is in alarm, the alarm indicator light on the unit(s) that initiated the alarm will blink rapidly. It will remain OFF on any remaining units.

CAUTION!

Never disconnect the AC power to quiet an unwanted alarm. Disconnecting the power disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke. This will remove your protection.

DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Attempting to disconnect the power connector from the unit when the power is on may result in electrical shock, serious injury or death.

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.
