BRK electronic FG250B Series User manual

Description:
BRK Model FG250 is a single station smoke alarm specifically designed for
residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals,
hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multifamily dwellings as defined in
standard NFPA 101. Model FG250 has been fully tested and complies with,
UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, and NFPA 101 and other agencies that model their
codes after the above agencies. It meets building codes where DC with Silence
smoke alarms are required and with model building codes published by the ICC.
BRK Model FG250 is a state of the art smoke alarm designed to provide early
warning of a fire. It 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 silence feature to silence unwanted nuisance alarms, a
red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm. It also features a tamper
resistant locking pin that locks alarm cover to prevent removal of battery. Perfect
for apartment, dormitory or hotel applications. 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 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 wall or ceiling mounting. Includes mounting anchors and screws.
