The carbon monoxide alarm shall be a BRK Model CO5120PDBN and shall provide at a
minimum the following features and functions:
1. An electrochemical CO sensor and an LCD multifunction digital display with peak
CO level memory capability.
2. Powered by 120V AC, 60Hz and have a monitored 9V battery backup and a solid
state piezo horn rated at 85dB at 10 ft. and shall be capable of self restoring.
3. The unit shall perform self diagnostic tests and issue a malfunction warning both
audibly (three chirps) and visually (“Err” in display) 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 LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or to confirm
unit has switched to battery backup mode. In battery backup mode, digital
display indicates “bAt”; “bAt” indication will flash if battery is weak or missing.
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. A test/silence button to check all alarm functions and to silence any nuisance
alarms. In addition, the unit shall have a low battery silence feature to quiet the
low battery chirp for up to eight hours.
8. A “Smart Interconnect” feature allows the unit to be interconnected to BRK
smoke alarms. During a smoke event, the CO5120PDBN horn pattern shall emit
the smoke alarm horn pattern (3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps pause). During a CO event,
the interconnected CO alarms sound their normal horn pattern.
9. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) and
relative humidity between 10% and 95%.
10. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL2034, NFPA 720 and ICC.
