Description:
BRK Model CO910V is a battery operated, 3V lithium power cell single station CO
alarm specifically designed for residential and institutional applications including
sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multifamily dwell-
ings as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model CO910V has been fully tested and
complies with, UL2034 CSFM, NFPA 720, NFPA 101 and other agencies that model
their codes after the above agencies. It meets building codes where tamperproof 10-
year sealed lithium battery operated CO alarms are required and with model building
codes published by the ICC.
BRK Model CO910V is a state of the art CO alarm designed to provide early warning
of a carbon monoxide danger. It features an electrochemical CO sensor and “Voice
Warning with Location”. This exclusive feature incorporates a voice that will speak
one of 11 pre-programmed locations and the danger detected. When the alarm
sounds (if programmed for “basement”, for example) it will speak “Warning, evacu-
ate, CO in basement”. It features a Sweeping Horn Tone that has a lower and varying
frequency that makes it easier for the elderly with normal age related hearing loss
to hear the horn. It has a sealed 10-year lithium power cell power supply that is per-
manently installed, a full function test switch, a silence feature to silence unwanted
nuisance alarms, a red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm. The tamperproof
design will not allow the powercell to be removed. The low power warning indicator
will cause the alarm to “chirp” when it reaches the end of its service life and needs to
be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit meets UL requirements for disabling the alarm
and non-reinstallation of unit to mounting bracket. It also features a tamper resistant
locking pin that locks alarm to the mounting bracket. Perfect for apartment, dormi-
tory or hotel applications. The compact, low profile design complements any décor.
Designed for wall or ceiling mounting. Includes mounting anchors and screws.

INSTALLATION OF ALARM
The CO alarm shall be a BRK Model CO910V and shall provide at a minimum the
following features and functions:
1. An electrochemical CO sensor.
2. A Voice Warning of danger detected (Carbon Monoxide) in addition to speaking one
of 11 pre-programmed locations, e.g. “Warning, Evacuate, CO in Basement”.
3. The unit shall have a lower and varying horn frequency to make it easier for the
elderly with normal age related hearing loss to better hear the horn.
4. Be capable of self restoring.
5. Powered by a sealed 10-year lithium powercell with a tamperproof design. The
tamperproof design shall not allow the powercell to be removed. A low power
warning indicator shall cause the alarm to “chirp” when it reaches the end of
its service life and needs to be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit shall meet UL
requirements for disabling the alarm and the non-reinstallation of unit to
mounting bracket.
6. A visual LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or is in alarm.
7. A full function test button. The test button should check all alarm functions by
stimulating the chamber to simulate a CO condition, causing the unit to alarm.
8. Two Silence features - Low Battery Silence: Silence low battery chirp for up to 8
hours. Alarm Silence: Temporarily silence unwanted nuisance alarms.
9. A tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm to the mounting bracket.
10. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and
relative humidity between 10% and 90%.
11. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall or ceiling
mounting.
12. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL2034, CSFM, NFPA 720,
NFPA 101, ICC.
