Description:
BRK Model CO250LBT is a single station carbon monoxide alarm specifically de-
signed for residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of
hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multifamily dwellings as defined
in standard NFPA 101. Model CO250LBT 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 mon-
oxide alarms with silence and a 5-Year tamper proof mounting bracket is required.
BRK Model CO250LBT is a state of the art carbon monoxide alarm designed to
provide early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide. It features an electro-
chemical carbon monoxide sensor, an 85dB horn, a full function test switch and
a red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm. The CO250LBT features a 9V
Lithium battery that will power the alarm for at least 5 years. It also features a
tamper proof mounting bracket that prevents removal of the alarm from the wall or
ceiling using a tamper proof spanner screw. A tamper proof spanner screwdriver
bit is also included. It also features a tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm
cover to prevent removal of battery when tamper proof bracket is removed. 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 min-
utes. Perfect for apartment, dormitory or hotel applications. The compact, low pro-
file design complements any décor. 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.

INSTALLATION OF ALARM
The carbon monoxide alarm shall be a BRK Model CO250LBT and shall provide at a
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 Lithium battery that will power the alarm for at least 5
years 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 proof mounting bracket that prevents removal of the alarm from the wall
or ceiling using a tamper proof spanner screw. A tamper proof spanner screwdriver
bit is to be provided. In addition a tamper resistant locking pin should be provided
that locks alarm cover to prevent removal 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 or ceiling
mounting.
11. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL2034, NFPA 720, NFPA
101, ICC.
