DESCRIPTION:

The BRK Electronics Cat. No. 5919 is a 120V AC powered photoelectronic unit designed for both single and multiple station use, up to 18 units. Its sensor operated on the scattered light principle, and electronically compensates for ambient light conditions. The unit has its on 85dB electronic alarm horn, powered-on LED and test button. It is interconnectable and comes with a plastic bracket that mounts easily to 3" and 4" octagon, 4" square or single gang boxes. The 5919 comes with a plug-in connector.

This detector is designed so that, when interconnected, if any one of the units senses smoke, its LED will turn off and its alarm will sound. All other interconnected units will sound an alarm but their LEDs will remain on. NOTE: All interconnected units must receive power from the same fuse or breaker.

Cat. No. 5919TH is identical to the 5919 but has a thermal sensor which is not connected to the unit. The thermal can be separately connected to a central control panel—ideal for hotels and hospitals. This sensor has its own plug-in connector and has a N.O. contact (Form A) rated 3A at 125V AC, a! at 30V DC.

SPECIFICATION

The smoke alarm shall be powered by a 120V AC, 650Hz. power source and shall be listed at .025A in standby condition. The alarm shall have a solid state photoelectronic sensor that operated on the scattered light principle. It shall be protected by an insect-resistant screen. The sensor shall sample the air at the alarm every 5 seconds and shall be designed to trigger an alarm if prescribed levels of smoke enter its chamber. The alarm shall electronically compensate for ambient light conditions and shall be cable of operating properly between 40° and 100°F (4°-38°C) and relative humidity between 10% and 90%. A built-in test button shall mechanically simulate the presence of smoke. A built-in light-emitting diode shall glow when AC power is being received. The alarm shall have an electronic alarm horn. It shall have a plug-in connector and be capable of interconnection with eleven other identical units. It shall be listed to UL 217.
