120V AC, 60Hz Wire-in
with 9V Battery Backup (9120B)
Description:
The BRK Brands, Inc. Model Numbers 9120 and 9120B are wire-in, 120V AC 60Hz
single and/or multiple station smoke alarms 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.
Models 9120 and 9120B comply with UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other
agencies that model their codes after the above agencies. They meet building
codes where AC and AC/DC with Silence smoke alarms are required. The alarms
are interconnectable with up to 18 devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.
The BRK
screened for insect protection, an 85dB horn, 9V battery back-up (all versions
except model 9120) and a “silence” feature. The “Smart Technology” system is
designed to reduce nuisance alarms. “Latching Alarm Indication” remembers
which unit initiated an alarm. When interconnected in a series, the unit that
triggered the alarm rapidly flashes its red LED indicator. After the alarm condition
subsides, the initiating unit will store in memory or “latch” the information and
begin to flash the green 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. This will allow
fine-tuning on the positioning to compensate for out of aligned wall studs and to
keep the wording level when wall mounting. A Single button test/silence button
eliminates confusion. Depending on what mode the alarm is in, pushing the button
will test, silence, re-test the alarm when in silence and clear the latching feature.
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, keyhole slots in the
mounting bracket eliminate the need to remove the electrical box screws for
installation. Two locking features are provided to prevent battery theft and/or
theft of the unit. Connection to AC
power is made with a
“Quick-Connect” wiring
harness. Installation is
quick, easy and cost
effective.
