BRK Model CO250 is a single station carbon monoxide alarm specifically
designed for residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of
hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multifamily dwellings as defined
in standard NFPA 101. Model CO250 has been fully tested and complies with,
UL2034, NFPA 720, and NFPA 101 and other agencies that model their codes
after the above agencies. It meets building codes where battery operated
carbon monoxide alarms with silence are required and with model building
codes published by the ICC.
BRK Model CO250 is a state of the art carbon monoxide alarm designed to
provide early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide. It features an
electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, an 85dB horn, a full function test
switch and a red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm. The CO250B
features a 9V alkaline battery and the CO250LB a 9V long life lithium battery.
This alarm has two silence features. Low Battery Silence: Temporarily silence the
low battery chirp for up to eight hours. Alarm Silence: Silence alarm for several
minutes. It also features a tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm cover to
prevent removal of battery. Perfect for apartment, dormitory or hotel applications.
The compact, low profile design complements any décor. Battery installation and
removal can occur while the unit is mounted to the ceiling or wall via the hinged
cover. When voltage drops to a pre-set warning level, the horn will “chirp”
approximately once per minute to indicate a fresh battery is needed. To insure
the battery is always replaced properly, the cover
is designed to resist closing when the
battery is missing. Designed
for wall or ceiling
mounting. Includes
mounting
anchors and
screws.

minimum the following features and functions:
1. An electrochemical CO sensor.
2. The unit shall be capable of self restoring.
3. The unit shall have an "End of Life" signal. This signal should be capable of
temporarily being silenced for up to 2 days. After about 2 days, the signal will
resume. After about 2-3 weeks the signal cannot be silenced.
4. Powered by a supervised 9V battery and a solid state piezo horn
rated at 85dB at 10 ft.
5. A visual LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or
is in alarm.
6. A test/silence button to check all alarm functions and to silence any nuisance
alarms. In addition, the unit shall have a low battery silence feature to quiet
the low battery chirp for up to eight hours.
7. A tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm cover to prevent removal
of battery.
8. The CO sensor is adjusted not to detect CO levels below 30 PPM and will not
alarm when exposed to constant levels of 30 PPM for 30 days. It will alarm
at the following levels: 400 PPM CO between 4 and 15 minutes, 150 PPM CO
between 10 and 50 minutes and 70 PPM CO between 60 and 240 minutes.
9. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and
100°F (38°C) and relative humidity between 10% and 95%.
10. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall
