Carbon monoxide with battery back up. The BRK
hardwire carbon monoxide alarm detects dangerous CO gas and allows you peace
of mind with its battery backup. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless,
odorless, deadly gas. It can be emitted by sources including gas or oil
furnaces, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, wood stoves, charcoal
grills, gas ranges, and space heaters. A clogged chimney, improper venting,
and attached garages can also cause carbon monoxide accumulation. According to
the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), at least one CO alarm should be
installed near a home's sleeping area. This BRK alarm is perfect for bedrooms,
as well as hallways, and basements. The BRK CO5120BN hardwire CO alarm with
battery backup includes these features: Quick plug-in power connector for easy
installation. 120-volt AC inter-connectable (with maximum 18 compatible
devices). The alarm can be interconnected with up to 12 other compatible smoke
alarms and six compatible devices like bells, horns, repeaters and door
closers. If one unit triggers an alarm, all smoke alarms in the series will
sound. Power indicators show which unit in the series initiated the alarm.
Microprocessor controlled for fewer nuisance alarms. Single test/silence
button which both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and
allows you to test the unit's functionality. Automatically performs internal
test of functionality. Latching alarm indicator which automatically identifies
which unit initiated the alarm. Battery drawer lock and mounting bracket lock
for tamper resistance. AC power indicator and alarm indicator light. Low
battery warning "chirp" and missing battery tab. Swing open battery drawer for
easy battery installation. 9-volt battery backup for peace of mind during
power outages. All BRK Electronics carbon monoxide alarms are listed to UL
Safety Standard 2034 for residential carbon monoxide alarms. Includes 9-volt
