The BRK Brands, Inc. Cat. No CO5120BN is a wire-in, 120 VAC 60Hz single and / 
or multiple station carbon monoxide alarm specifically designed for residential 
and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, 
motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 
101. Model CO5120BN complies with UL2034, NFPA 720, HUD, FHA and other 
agencies that model their codes after the above agencies. They meet building 
codes where AC/DC carbon monoxide alarms are required either separately or in 
combination. The alarms are interconnectable up to 18 devices, of which 12 can 
be smoke alarms.
The BRK CO5120BN features an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, an 
85dB horn, 9V battery back-up and a silence feature. “Intelligent Sensing 
Technology” is designed to reduce nuisance alarms. “Latching Alarm Indicator” 
remembers which unit initiated an alarm. When interconnected in a series, the 
unit that triggered the alarm will store in memory or “latch” the information and 
begin to flash the LED indicator 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off.  A single button 
test/silence button eliminates confusion. Battery installation and removal can 
occur while the unit is mounted to the ceiling or wall via the side load battery 
compartment. Other Contractor Preferred features include a dust cover to keep 
alarm clean during construction, keyhole slots in the mounting bracket eliminate 
the need to remove the electrical box screws for installation. Two locking 
features are provided to prevent battery theft and/or theft of the unit. Connection 
toAC power is made with a“Quick-Connect” wiring harness. Installation is quick, 
easy and cost effective.
