Description:
BRK Model 7010BA (Cat. 7016BTCA) is a wire-in, 120V AC 60Hz single and/or
multiple station photoelectric smoke alarm specically designed for residential
and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels,
dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as dened in standard NFPA 101. Model
7010BA complies with ULC S531, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other agencies that
model their codes after the above agencies. Alarms are interconnectable with up to
18 devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.
BRK 7010BA features a photoelectric smoke sensing chamber, an 85dB horn, a
9V battery back-up and a “silence” feature. Optipath 360 technology provides
360 degrees of direct access to the smoke sensing chamber. Alarm Latch: Easily
identies initiating alarm even after alarm condition has subsided. The “Perfect
Mount” system features a gasketless base and a mounting bracket that keeps the
alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for true alignment. This will allow
ne-tuning on the positioning to compensate for out of aligned wall studs and to keep
the wording level when wall mounting. Battery installation and removal can occur
while the unit is mounted to the ceiling or wall via the side load battery compartment.
Other Contractor Preferred features include a dust cover to keep alarm clean during
construction, keyhole slots in the mounting bracket eliminate the need to remove the
electrical box screws for installation. Two locking features are provided to prevent
battery theft and/or theft of the unit. Connection to AC power is made with a “Quick-
Connect” wiring harness. Installation is quick, easy and cost effective.
