Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide exposure.”

This CO Alarm monitors the air, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

This CO Alarm is designed to alert you to a poten- tially dangerous build-up of CO over time. It cannot fix a CO problem, and it cannot identify a specific source of CO. The company shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call conducted by a Fire Department, or licensed investigator or repairman, arranged by the homeowner in response to an alarm.

This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commer- cial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical conditions may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

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.
