ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECS

The combination smoke and CO alarm shall be a BRK Model SC9120LBLA 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 120V AC, 60Hz and have a monitored 10-Year Locked Lithium Battery Backup and a solid 

state piezo horn rated at 85dB at 10 ft. and 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 AC power or has switched to battery backup 

mode. 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. Silence Feature: Alarm 

Silence to temporarily silence nuisance alarms. 

8.  Two Locking features - tamper resistant locking pins that lock battery drawer and/or alarm to mounting 

bracket. Battery drawer is shipped pre-locked so battery will not be discarded prematurely.

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 have a plug in connector and be capable of interconnection of up to 18 alarms, 12 of which 

can be smoke alarms.

11. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of ULC S531 and CSA 6.19.
