REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance- free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:

•Test it at least once a week.

•Gently vacuum off any dust on the cover at least once a month using your vacuum’s soft brush attachment. Test the unit after vacuuming the cover.

•Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

•Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where Not To Install This Alarm” for details.

•When the battery back-up becomes weak, the alarm will “chirp” about once a minute (the low battery warning). You should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.

DO NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the Alarm. DO NOT paint over the Alarm. Doing so may permanently damage the Alarm.

Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect the sensor. When using any of these materials near the Alarm, make sure the room is well ventilated.

CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT BATTERY:

Your Smoke/CO Alarm’s battery back-up requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are accept- able as replacements. This list supplements the list on the Alarm battery door: Eveready #522 and Duracell #MN1604, MX1604 (Ultra). You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J for longer service life between battery changes. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

Use only the alkaline or lithium replacement batteries listed. The unit may not operate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries since they may not provide a constant charge.

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.
