VOICE WARNING
WITH LOCATION
Exclusive! A voice will tell you the
programmed location of the unit and
danger detected.
ELECTROCHEMICAL CO
SENSOR
Most accurate technology available for
detecting carbon monoxide as com-
pared to other sensing technologies.

greater amounts by smoldering fires.
SILENCE FEATURE
Silences nuisance alarms.
Description:
BRK PRC710VB (model PC1210V) is a 3V lithium power cell operated single sta-
tion photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide combination 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. BRK PRC710VB 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 tam-
perproof 10-year sealed lithium battery operated photoelectric smoke and carbon
monoxide combination alarms with voice are required and with model building
codes published by the ICC.
BRK PRC710VB 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 sealed 10-year lithium power cell power supply that is
permanently installed. 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 requirements for disabling the alarm and non-reinstallation of unit
to mounting bracket. It also features a tamper resistant locking pin that locks the
alarm to the mounting bracket to prevent removal of the alarm. Designed for wall or
ceiling mounting. Includes
mounting anchors
and screws.

INSTALLATION OF ALARM
The smoke and CO combination alarm shall be a BRK Model PC1210V (cat. no.
PRC710VB) and shall provide at a minimum the following features and functions:
1. A Photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and an electrochemical CO sensor.
2. A Voice Warning of danger detected (Smoke and/or Carbon Monoxide) in addition to
speaking one of 11 pre-programmed locations, e.g. “Warning, Evacuate, Smoke in
Basement”
3. 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.
4. Fully screened smoke sensing chamber to resist entry of small insects thereby
reducing the probability of unwanted alarms and be capable of self restoring.
5. 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.
6. A visual LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or is alarm.
7. A full function test button should check all alarm functions by simulating a smoke
and CO condition, causing the unit to alarm.
8. Two Silence features - Low Battery Silence: Silence low battery chirp for up to 8
hours. Alarm Silence: Temporarily silence unwanted nuisance alarms.
9. Tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm to mounting bracket to prevent
removal of the alarm.
10. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and
relative humidity between 10% and 95%.
11. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall or ceiling
mounting.
12. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217, UL2034, CSFM, NFPA
72, NFPA 720, NFPA 101, ICC
