This alarm is designed to sound for up to 12 hours in alarm conditions, provided the battery is fresh and installed correctly.

Warranty: 5-year limited warranty.

The Smoke Alarm

During Alarm: Repeating Horn Pattern: horn sounds three times, then pauses, then sounds three times, then pauses, until silence button is pressed, smoke dissipates, or battery runs down. Red “SMOKE” indicator flashes rapidly.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Single and Multiple Station Smoke Alarms

UL217.

The Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million (ppm).

Required Alarm Levels: Before 10% COHb exposure at levels of 30% to 70% Relative Humidity (RH):

400 ppm CO between 4 and 15 minutes

150 ppm CO between 10 and 50 minutes

70 ppm CO between 60 and 240 minutes

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

During Alarm: Repeating Horn Pattern: horn sounds 4 times, then pauses, then sounds four times, then pauses, until silence button is pressed, CO dissipates, or battery runs down. Red “CO” indicator light flashes rapidly.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

SC1000BN specifications

The BRK electronic SC1000BN is a state-of-the-art smoke and carbon monoxide detector designed for enhanced safety in residential and commercial environments. At the heart of its design is the dual sensor technology, which combines both photoelectric and ionization detection methods. This dual system is crucial in detecting a wide range of fire types, from smoldering fires to fast flaming ones. The photoelectric sensor is particularly effective for detecting smoke from smoldering fires, while the ionization sensor effectively detects fast-flaming fires, making this detector a well-rounded solution for various fire scenarios.

A standout feature of the SC1000BN is its sealed lithium battery, which boasts a lifespan of up to 10 years. This eliminates the hassle of battery replacements and ensures that the unit remains operational for a decade. Users can feel secure knowing that the detector will function seamlessly without the need for intervention. Additionally, the detector has a convenient end-of-life signal, alerting users when it’s time to replace the unit itself, ensuring that safety is never compromised.

Another important technology integrated into the SC1000BN is its smart chip technology. This enables the detector to accurately differentiate between various potential threats, reducing false alarms and providing peace of mind to users. The device is also equipped with a loud 85-decibel alarm that ensures occupants are promptly alerted in case of an emergency.

Installation of the SC1000BN is straightforward, with a low-profile design that blends seamlessly into any environment. The unit can be mounted on ceilings or walls, and its aesthetic design complements modern home decor. Furthermore, the detector meets the strictest safety standards, including certification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), ensuring reliability and efficacy.

In addition to its primary functions, the SC1000BN also features a test/silence button that allows users to check the functionality of the unit or silence false alarms without removing the battery. The combination of advanced detection methods, long-lasting power, and user-friendly features makes the BRK electronic SC1000BN an essential device for enhancing safety and promoting peace of mind in any space. With its commitment to advancing safety technology, BRK electronic continues to be a trusted name in smoke and carbon monoxide detection.
