Description:
BRK Model PC910 is a battery operated, 3V lithium power cell single station smoke
and CO alarm specifically designed for residential and institutional applications
including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other mul-
tifamily dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model PC910 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 PC910 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, an 85dB horn, 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
warning 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 require-
ments 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 complements any décor. Designed for wall or ceiling mounting. In-

INSTALLATION OF ALARM
The smoke and CO combination alarm shall be a BRK Model PC910 and shall provide at
a minimum the following features and functions:
1. A photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and an electrochemical CO sensor.
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 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.
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 and CO condition, causing the unit to
alarm.
7. Two Silence features - Low Battery Silence: Silence low battery chirp for up to 8
hours. Alarm Silence: Temporarily silence unwanted nuisance alarms.
8. A tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm to the mounting bracket.
9. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and
relative humidity between 10% and 90%.
10. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall or ceiling
mounting.
11. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, UL2034, CSFM, NFPA
72, NFPA 720, NFPA 101, ICC.
