Description:
BRK PRC700VB (model PC1200V) is a battery operated single station photoelectric
smoke and carbon monoxide combination alarm specifically designed for residen-
tial and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, mo-
tels, dormitories, and other multifamily dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 101.
BRK PRC700VB 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 battery operated photoelectric
smoke and carbon monoxide combination alarms with voice are required and with
model building codes published by the ICC.
BRK PRC700VB 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 photoelec-
tric smoke sensing chamber, an electrochemical CO sensor and “Voice Warning
with Location”. This exclusive feature incorporates a voice that will speak one of
11 pre-programmed locations and the danger detected. When the alarm sounds (if
programmed for “basement”, for example) it will speak “Warning, evacuate, smoke
in basement”. It features a Sweeping Horn Tone that has a lower and varying fre-
quency that makes it easier for the elderly with normal age related hearing loss to
hear the horn. Two AA alkaline batteries power supply, 10 Year CO sensor, 10 Year
End of Life feature and single button test/silence. This alarm has two silence fea-
tures. Low Battery Silence: Temporarily silence the low battery chirp for up to eight
hours. Alarm Silence: Silence alarm for several minutes. It also features a tam-
per resistant locking pin that locks the alarm to the mounting bracket to prevent
removal of batteries or alarm. De-
signed for wall or ceiling
mounting. Includes
mounting an-
chors and
screws.

The smoke and CO combination alarm shall be a BRK Model PC1200V (cat. no.
PRC700VB) 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 have an “10 Year End of Life” signal. This signal should be capable
of temporarily being silenced for up to 2 days. After about 2 days, the signal will
resume. After about 2-3 weeks the signal cannot be silenced.
3. Fully screened smoke sensing chamber to resist entry of small insects thereby
reducing the probability of unwanted alarms and be capable of self restoring.
4. Powered by replaceable 2 AA alkaline batteries and a solid state speaker horn rated
at 85dB at 10 ft.
5. A visual LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or is alarm.
6. A full function test button should check all alarm functions by simulating 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. Tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm to mounting bracket to prevent
removal of batteries.
