Description:
The BRK Electronics
®
Cat. No. 83RN is a battery operated single
station smoke alarm specifically designed for residential and
institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals,
hotels, motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as
defined in standard NFPA 101. The 83RN is approved for RV use.
Complies with UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other
agencies that model their codes after the above agencies.
BRK Electronics
®
catalog number 83RN features a fully insect
screened dual ionization smoke sensing chamber, an 85dB horn, a
supervised 9V battery power supply, a full function test switch, a
red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm. The compact, low
profile design complements any décor. Battery installation and
removal can occur while the unit is mounted to the ceiling or wall
via the hinged cover. When voltage drops to a pre-set warning
level, the 83RN’s 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 surface mounting, the 83RN
includes mounting anchors and screws.

ARCHITECTURAL AND
ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION:
1. An ionization sensing chamber with nominal sensitivity of 1.07%/ft.
2. The unit shall be capable of self restoring.
3. A fully screened sensing chamber to resist entry of small insects
thereby reducing the probability of unwanted alarms.
4. Powered by a supervised 9V battery 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 full function test button. The test button should check all alarm
functions by stimulating the chamber to simulate a smoke
condition, causing the unit to alarm.
7. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40˚F (4˚C) and
100˚F (38˚C) and relative humidity between 10% and 90%.
8. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall
or ceiling mounting.
9. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, CSFM,
NFPA 72, NFPA 101, ICBO, BOCA, SBCCI and CABO.
10. The unit shall be suitable for use in Recreational Vehicles
