Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Introducing the revolutionary BRK 9120 series smoke alarms which have been redesigned from the ground up. They install faster, perform better, and are even smarter than before. All of these improvements help reduce nuisance alarms and save you time and money. BRK Electronics smoke alarms are designed to be easy to install, easy to maintain, and quality-engineered for years of virtually maintenance-free service.

The AC-powered BRK Hardwire Smoke Alarm includes these features:

  • Ionization sensor which helps detect fast flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly.
  • 120-volt AC inter-connectable with up to 12 smoke alarms and six of a combination of UL listed BRK heat alarms and RM3 relays (maximum 18 devices). Smoke and CO alarms must be interconnected separately per NFPA 72 and UL 217.
  • Latching alarm indicator which automatically identifies which unit initiated the alarm.
  • Smart technology to reduce 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.
  • Perfect mount system including a gasketless base for easy installation and new mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.
  • Mounting bracket lock for tamper resistance.
  • Dust cover to keep unit clean during construction.
  • 10-year limited warranty.
All BRK Electronics smoke alarms meet UL 217 standard and are listed with the California State Fire Marshal. They use the new UL mandated repeating 85-decibel alarm horn pattern. 10-year limited warranty. This unit is approved for sale in Oregon after new revisions on law HB2586.--Bree Norlander

Costumer Reviews

I ordered this to replace the 9120B with battery backup and ordered in a hurry. This model is the SAME THING without the battery backup. Since I was replacing the one in the kitchen, and the only one of that floor. I just put the 9120 in one of the bedrooms and put the old 9120B downstairs (for some reason we have 5 upstairs and only 1 downstairs). It will be alright and saved me $30. It fit fine in the 9120B slot and activated my other alarms all over the house when I tested it.

My house came wired with about 12 of these with the battery back-up. Since the 9 volt battery is supposed to power the entire system when electricity is lost they must be replaced fairly frequently. They test at about 8.25 volts when required to be replaced. I have purchased a couple of these non-battery units to replace the ones in the cathedral ceiling that requires a ladder to replace and will invariably start chirping at 2am on a cold winters morning. I have also replace the one in our unheated attic which suffers the same fate.

As long as I can get to the unit I'll stick with the battery back-ups but for those hard to reach places these electric models as a better choice.
