ELECTROCHEMICAL CO
SENSOR
Most accurate technology available for
detecting carbon monoxide as com-
pared to other sensing technologies.

Description:
BRK Model PC910V is a battery operated, 3V lithium power cell single station smoke
and CO alarm specifically designed for residential and institutional applications in-
cluding sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multifamily
dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model PC910V has been fully tested
and complies with, UL217, UL2034 CSFM, NFPA 72, 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 smoke and CO alarms
are required and with model building codes published by the ICC.
BRK Model PC910V is a state of the art smoke and CO combination alarm designed
to provide early warning of a fire or carbon monoxide danger. It features a fully insect
screened Photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and 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,
evacuate, smoke 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 permanently 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 warn-
ing 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, dormitory or hotel applications.
The compact, low profile design com-
plements any décor. Designed for
wall or ceiling mounting.
Includes mounting
anchors and
screws.

INSTALLATION OF ALARM
The smoke and CO combination alarm shall be a BRK Model PC910V and shall provide
at a minimum the following features and functions:
1. A photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and an electrochemical CO sensor.
2. A Voice Warning of danger detected (Smoke and/or Carbon Monoxide) in addition to
speaking one of 11 pre-programmed locations, e.g. “Warning, Evacuate, Smoke 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. A fully screened sensing chamber to resist entry of small insects thereby reducing
the probability of unwanted alarms and 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 smoke and 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 UL217, UL2034, CSFM, NFPA
72, NFPA 720, NFPA 101, ICC.
