CAT. 1038870
Description:
The BRK Brands, Inc. Model Number 7030BSL (CAT 1038870) is a wire-in, 120V AC 60Hz
single and/or multiple station photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide combination
alarm with integrated 177 candela LED strobe light specically designed for residential
and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, public
housing, dormitories and other multifamily dwellings. Model 7030BSL conforms to UL STD
217, UL STD 2034 & UL STD 1638. The alarms are inter-connectable with up to 18 devices,
of which 12 can be smoke alarms. The BRK 7030BSL alarm features a photoelectric smoke
sensing chamber, an electrochemical CO sensor, an integrated 177 LED candela strobe
light, an 85dB horn and sealed lithium battery capable of providing backup power for smoke
and CO alarm functions over 10 year alarm life without replacement. The Strobe Light is
designed to provide deaf & hard of hearing individuals with a visual warning of smoke or
carbon monoxide dangers. The Smart Strobe has separate ash patterns for smoke/heat
and carbon monoxide dangers. This helps a hearing impaired person better distinguish the
danger present. The 177 candela LED strobe ashes at a rate of an average of 60 times a
minute. The LED ash is also sync capable so when multiple LED units are installed, strobes
can ash in unison.
This alarm features two latching features and two silence features. The Alarm Latch easily
identies the initiating alarm with blinking RED led pattern - even after the alarm condition
has subsided. Ideal when multiple alarms are installed throughout a residence or institution.
The End of Life / Low Battery Latch visually identies which unit is in a low battery or end
of life condition. The convenient silence features will temporarily silence an unwanted alarm
for several minutes or eliminate low battery/end of life chirps for up to eight hours. Other
Contractor preferred features include a dust cover, easy twist-lock mounting bracket with
backup battery activation, and “Quick Connect” wiring harness.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECS
The integrated strobe light & combination smoke & carbon monoxide shall be a BRK Model
7030BSL and shall provide at a minimum the following features and functions:
1. A photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor.
2. A 177 candela LED strobe light. The Smart Strobe shall have separate ash patterns
to distinguish between smoke/heat and carbon monoxide dangers. When multiple units
installed, strobe ash patterns will synchronize.
3. Fully screened sensing chamber to resist entry of small insects thereby reducing the
probability of unwanted alarms.
4. Powered by 120V AC, 60Hz and have a sealed 10 year lithium battery backup for alarm
and a solid state piezo horn rated at 85dB at 10 ft and be capable of self-restoring.
5. A visual green LED power-on indicator to conrm unit is receiving power or is in alarm.
6. A test button should check alarm function.
7. Two Latching features: Alarm Latch to easily identify initiating alarm after alarm condition
has subsided. Low battery latch: to visually identify which unit is in low battery or end of
life condition. Two Silence Features: Alarm Silence to temporarily silence nuisance alarms.
End of Life: Silence alarm for 8 hours.
8. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and relative
humidity between 10% and 95%.
9. The unit shall have a plug in connector and be capable of interconnection of up to 18 units
with smoke, heat, CO alarms and relays, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.
10. The unit at a minimum shall conform to UL STD 217, UL STD 2034 & UL STD 1638.
