Product Description
The BRK hardwire combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm detects two hazards with one simple unit. 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.
The BRK SC9120 hardwire combination smoke and 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.
- Ionization sensor which is more effective at detecting flaming fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly.
- 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.
- Separate smoke and carbon monoxide visual and audible warnings.
- 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.
- 9-volt battery backup for peace of mind during power outages.

This unit worked reliably for a year, then started to go off, on it's own, in the middle of the night. Consistently, in the middle of the night. After a couple of weeks of troubleshooting, and waking up my two toddlers, I'm replacing with a different brand. All the other units in the house still work reliably, and have detected even trace amounts of smoke. Maybe I just got a bad one?

Arrived earlier than expected. Were a snap to install and have not had any problems. Bought them to replace three older single mode brk detectors. Would recommend this brand and vendor.

I used this BRK smoke and carbon monoxide alarm to replace a similar BRK smoke only detector. The instructions were clear, all necessary parts came with it, installation took about 3 minuets, and everything works.

Good price for a combination smoke/carbon monoxide detector. Easy to install. Should last a long time.

I purchased these items, but the seller sent the BRK Carbon Monoxide detector not the combination detector........I contacted the seller, who stated he would send a return UPS label and have UPS pick up the incorrect items.........However to this date I still am waiting for the labels....and he did not have the correct items to send in their place.......However he did immediately credit my acct..........I just wish he would send the return label so i could send these items back.....
