More specifically, install smoke alarms:

•On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

•Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

•In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

•At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

IMPORTANT!

Specific requirements for smoke alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Building Inspector and/or Fire Department for current requirements in your area.

If you install AC or AC/DC units, it is recommended (and may be required) they be interconnected for added protection.

Installing Smoke Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one smoke alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation. If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only. Smoke alarms should be installed where temperatures normally remain between 40˚F (4˚C) and 100˚F (38˚C).

IMPORTANT!

This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72. National Fire Protection Association,

Additional local building and regulatory codes may apply in your area. Always check compliance requirements before beginning any installation.

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.
