Fire Alarm for Homes: First Alert BRK 7010B White Smoke Detector

The First Alert BRK 7010B hardwire smoke alarm with battery backup is designed for residential and institutional use, featuring a photoelectric smoke sensor that is particularly effective at detecting slow-smoldering fires. This 120V inter-connectable alarm can be installed and linked with up to 18 compatible devices, ensuring that when one alarm is triggered, all connected alarms sound.

Packed with convenient features, the BRK 7010B includes a single test/silence button that allows for quickly testing the unit's functionality and silencing non-threatening alarms or low-battery warnings. The latching alarm indicator automatically identifies the initial location and source of an incident, while the optional drawer and mounting bracket lock prevent tampering or removal of the 9-volt backup battery.

This alarm is backed by a 10-year limited warranty and is tested to meet UL standards 217. It comes complete with a smoke alarm, mounting bracket, 9-volt backup battery, and user manual.

Designed to reduce "nuisance" alarms, the BRK hardwire smoke alarm with photoelectric sensor is an excellent choice for installations in or near kitchens, fireplaces, hallways, and other areas prone to steam or smoke. It is also a popular choice for hotel/motel applications.

The 7010B AC-powered smoke alarm features a photoelectric sensor, which is more effective at detecting smoldering fires that can smolder for hours before bursting into flame. It can be interconnected with up to 12 other compatible smoke alarms and six compatible devices, such as bells, horns, repeaters, and door closers, ensuring that if one unit triggers an alarm, all connected alarms will sound.

The alarm includes several convenient features, such as a quick plug-in power connector for easy installation, a 9-volt battery backup for power outages, and a single test/silence button that both silences non-threatening alarms or low-battery warnings and allows for testing the unit's functionality.

Additionally, the BRK 7010B features an alarm indication that automatically identifies the unit that initiated the alarm in an interconnected system, as well as an Optipath 360 technology that allows 360-degree access to the layer of air on the ceiling or wall that carries the fire signatures.

To ensure tamper resistance, the smoke alarm includes a locking feature, and it is backed by a 10-year limited warranty. All BRK Electronics smoke alarms meet the UL 217 standard and are listed with the California State Fire Marshal, using the new UL-mandated repeating 85-decibel alarm horn pattern.
