ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECS
The combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm shall be a BRK Model SC7010BA and shall provide at a
minimum the following features and functions:
1. A photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and an electrochemical CO sensor both with a 10 year service life.
2. Powered by 120V AC, 60Hz and have a monitored battery backup and a solid state piezo horn rated
at 85dB at 10 ft. and shall be capable of self restoring. The horn shall have a lower and varying horn
frequency to make it easier for the elderly with normal age related hearing loss to better hear the horn.
3. The unit shall have an “End of Life” signal.
4. A visual power-on indicator to conrm unit is receiving AC power or has switched to battery backup
mode. Separate LED’s to indicate a smoke or CO alarm.
5. The CO sensor is adjusted not to detect CO levels below 30 PPM and will not alarm when exposed to
constant levels of 30 PPM for 30 days. It will alarm at the following levels: 400 PPM CO between 4 and
15 minutes, 150 PPM CO between 10 and 50 minutes and 70 PPM CO between 60 and 240 minutes.
6. Two Latching features: Alarm Latch to easily identify initiating alarm after alarm condition has subsided. Low
battery latch: to visually identify which unit is in low battery condition. Two Silence Features: Alarm Silence to
temporarily silence nuisance alarms. Low Battery Silence to silence low battery chirp for up to 8 hours.
7. Two Locking features - tamper resistant locking pins that lock battery drawer and/or alarm to mounting bracket.
8. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and relative humidity
between 10% and 95%.
9. The unit shall have a plug in connector and be capable of interconnection of up to 18 alarms, 12 of which
can be smoke alarms.
10. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL217 and UL2034, CSFM, NFPA 72 and 720
and the ICC.
