CHAPTER 3: IF YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS

WHAT TO DO FIRST–IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALARM

Type of Alarm	What You See and Hear
Carbon Monoxide	CO Light:
(CO)	Flashing RED
	Horn: 4 beeps,
	pause, 4 beeps,
	pause
Smoke	Smoke Light:
	Flashing RED
	Horn: 3 beeps,
	pause, 3 beeps,
	pause

WHAT TO DO IF CARBON MONOXIDE IS DETECTED

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the alarm horn sound 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause, and the RED CO light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air.

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS:

1.Operate the Test/Silence button.

2.Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emer- gency service here:

3.Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO alarm remains in its normal condition.

4.After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reacti- vates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investi- gate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equip- ment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are iden- tified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

Finding the Source of CO After an Alarm

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investiga- tor arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. See “What You Need to Know About CO.” BRK

SC6120B specifications

The BRK electronic SC6120B is a state-of-the-art combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detector designed to provide optimal protection for homes and workplaces. This innovative device is engineered to enhance safety by detecting both smoke from fires and the presence of carbon monoxide, which is often referred to as the "silent killer" due to its odorless and colorless nature.

One of the standout features of the SC6120B is its Voice Alarm system, which emits distinct voice alerts to inform users whether smoke or CO is detected. This audio notification is crucial in emergency situations, as it allows individuals to respond quickly and appropriately. The device also includes a loud, 85-decibel alarm that further enhances alertness in the event of a danger.

The SC6120B utilizes advanced sensing technology to improve detection accuracy. It is equipped with a photoelectric smoke sensor that is known for its rapid response to smoldering fires, which produce smoke without a significant flame. This type of sensor is particularly effective for detecting slow-burning fires, such as those that begin with electrical equipment or household materials. Additionally, the SC6120B has an electrochemical sensor for CO detection, ensuring that it can identify elevated levels of carbon monoxide swiftly.

This unit is also designed for user convenience and reliability. It features a one-button test/hush function that allows users to easily test the unit's functionality or silence false alarms caused by cooking smoke or steam. The SC6120B has a low battery indicator that alerts users when it's time to replace the batteries, ensuring that the device remains operational at all times.

Another remarkable characteristic of the SC6120B is its compact and modern design, making it suitable for various environments, including bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms. It is easy to install, with a battery-operated option that eliminates the need for hardwiring, thus providing flexibility in placement.

In summary, the BRK electronic SC6120B combines innovative features, user-friendly technology, and effective safety detection into one reliable unit. Its dual function of smoke and CO detection, along with its loud alarms and voice notifications, make it an essential device for safeguarding life and property from the dangers of fire and carbon monoxide.
