FIRST ALERT Hardwired Smoke and CO Detector for Home

The FIRST ALERT SC7010B Hardwired Combination Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup provides comprehensive detection of both smoke and carbon monoxide within a single device. Incorporating a photoelectric sensor along with Optipath 360 technology, this alarm is adept at identifying smoke from smoldering fires while significantly reducing the chances of false alarms. Additionally, it boasts an advanced electrochemical sensor that effectively monitors for carbon monoxide leaks from various sources, including malfunctioning fuel-burning appliances and obstructed chimneys.

Upon identifying a potential threat, the alarm emits a spread spectrum horn tone specifically designed to be more audible to individuals experiencing age-related hearing loss. This unit is designed for hardwired installation into your home or facility’s electrical system, operating at 120 volts. It also features a battery backup, ensuring that the alarm remains functional even during power outages.

Installation is made convenient with the alarm's perfect mount system, enabling straightforward alignment and setup. A low battery latch provides a visual alert when the battery is running low. Furthermore, the handy test/silence button simplifies the process of testing the alarm's functionality and muting false alarms.

The BRK Model No. SC7010B is engineered as a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, suitable for both residential and institutional environments. This includes applications in sleeping quarters of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multi-family residences, as specified by the NFPA 101 standard. The SC7010B adheres to various safety compliance standards, including UL217, UL2034, CSFM, NFPA 72, and NFPA 720, as well as codes from HUD and FHA. It satisfies building regulations that mandate photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

This state-of-the-art hardwired unit incorporates a photoelectric smoke sensing chamber, an electrochemical CO sensor, and an End of Life signal, making it a reliable choice for safety. The Spread Spectrum Horn Tone, with its lower and varying frequency, improves audibility for the elderly, who may have difficulty hearing conventional alarms.

The model is equipped with multiple functional features: the Alarm Latch, which helps users identify the initiating alarm signal even after the alarm condition has ceased; a Low Battery Latch that indicates which unit is low on power by blinking the green light; Low Battery Silence, which allows the temporary muting of the low battery alert for up to eight hours; and an Alarm Silence function that quiets the alarm temporarily.

Additional features include an 85dB horn, a single-button test/silence capability, an easily accessible battery drawer, and a dust cover. The exclusive OptiPath 360 Technology ensures that the smoke sensor has 360 degrees of direct access for optimal performance. It also includes two anti-theft locking features to prevent battery or unit theft, with the connection to AC power facilitated through a Quick-Connect wiring harness, ensuring a fast, straightforward, and cost-effective installation process.

By choosing this hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, you ensure your family’s safety, as the battery backup guarantees continuous monitoring, even during power failures. The alarm employs electrochemical Carbon Monoxide sensing technology along with a photoelectric sensor for enhanced detection, making it reliable for identifying smoke from smoldering fires. In emergencies, the loud spread spectrum alarm can be easily heard, even by those with hearing difficulties.

This device can also connect with other compatible BRK or First Alert alarms, ensuring that all alarms will activate when a threat is detected. It includes a 10-year limited warranty and features an end-of-life signal chirp to alert you when it is time to replace the unit, ensuring your continued safety. The product has undergone rigorous testing to meet UL standards, and First Alert is renowned for its trusted safety solutions since introducing the first residential smoke alarm in 1958.
