First Alert Carbon Monoxide Detector for Homes

The BRK Model CO250 is a single-station carbon monoxide alarm specifically designed for residential and institutional applications, including the sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multi-family dwellings as defined in the NFPA 101 standard. This model has been thoroughly tested and complies with UL2034, NFPA 720, and NFPA 101, as well as other agencies that model their codes after these standards. It meets the building codes where battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms with silence features are required, including the model building codes published by the ICC.

The BRK Model CO250 is a state-of-the-art carbon monoxide alarm designed to provide early warning of the presence of this hazardous gas. It features an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, an 85dB horn, a full-function test switch, and a red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm status. The CO250B model uses a 9V alkaline battery, while the CO250LB model uses a 9V long-life lithium battery.

This alarm offers two silence features: Low Battery Silence allows users to temporarily silence the low-battery chirp for up to eight hours, and Alarm Silence allows them to silence the alarm for several minutes. Additionally, it features a tamper-resistant locking pin that secures the alarm cover to prevent the removal of the battery.

The BRK Model CO250 is ideal for apartment, dormitory, or hotel applications, with its compact and low-profile design that complements any décor. The hinged cover allows for easy battery installation and removal while the unit is mounted on the ceiling or wall. When the battery voltage drops to a pre-set warning level, the horn will "chirp" approximately once per minute to indicate that a fresh battery is needed. The cover is designed to resist closing when the battery is missing, ensuring the battery is always replaced properly.

Designed for wall or ceiling mounting, the BRK Model CO250 includes all necessary mounting anchors and screws. It offers the highest quality and most accurate electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor technology, providing a convenient end-of-life chirping signal and helpful silence features that can silence both the alarm and low-battery chirp. With its easy installation and trusted reputation in home safety, the BRK Model CO250 is the perfect choice for faster turnarounds on job sites.
