combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm specifically designed for
residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals,
hotels, motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as defined in
standard NFPA 101 Model SCO2B complies with UL217, UL2034, CSFM, NFPA
72, NFPA 720, HUD, FHA and other agencies that model their codes after the
above agencies. They meet building codes where battery powered smoke and
carbon monoxide alarms are required either separately or in combination.
The BRK SCO2B features a dual ionization smoke sensing chamber and an
electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, 9V battery powered, an 85dB horn, an
End of Life and a silence feature. The SCO2B features a 9V alkaline battery and
the SCO2LB a 9V long life lithium battery. “Intelligent Sensing Technology” is
designed to reduce nuisance alarms. “Latching Alarm Indicator” remembers
which unit initiated an alarm. The unit that triggered the alarm will store in
memory or “latch” the information and begin to flash the LED indicator 2
seconds on, 2 seconds off. The “Perfect Mount” system features a gasketless
base and a mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation
range to allow for true alignment. A single button test/silence button eliminates
confusion. Battery installation and removal can occur while the unit is mounted
to the ceiling or wall via the side load battery compartment. Other Contractor
Preferred features include a dust cover to keep alarm clean during construction.
Two locking features are provided to prevent battery theft and/or theft of the unit.

shall provide at a minimum the following features and functions:
1. An ionization smoke sensing chamber and an electrochemical CO sensor.
2. Powered by a supervised 9V alkaline battery and features a solid state piezo horn
rated at 85dB at 10 ft. and the unit shall be capable of self restoring.
3. The unit shall perform self diagnostic tests and issue a malfunction warning (three
chirps) if the unit malfunctions.
4. The unit shall have an "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.
5. A visual power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power. Separate LED 's to
indicate a smoke or CO alarm.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Two Locking features - tamper resistant locking pins that lock battery drawer
and/or alarm to 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 95%.
10. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall or ceiling
