Description:

The BRK Brands, Inc. model No SCO2 is a battery powered single station 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. Designed for wall or ceiling mounting. Includes mounting anchors and screws.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPEC

The combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm shall be a BRK Model SCO2B and 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.
