ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPEC

The smoke/CO combination alarm shall be a First Alert Model SCO5 and shall provide at a minimum the following features and functions:

1. A Photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and an electrochemical CO sensor.

2. The unit shall have a lower and varying horn frequency to to make it easier for the elderly with normal age related hearing loss to better hear the horn

3. Fully screened smoke sensing chamber to resist entry of small insects thereby reducing the probability of unwanted alarms and be capable of self restoring.

4. Powered by supervised 2 AA alkaline batteries and a solid state piezo horn rated at 85dB at 10 ft.

5. A visual green LED power-on indicator to conﬁrm unit is receiving power. A visual red indicator to show unit is alarm.

6. A full function test button should check all alarm functions by simulating a smoke and CO condition, causing the unit to alarm.
