Research available through the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) indicates that as many as one-third of all
residential smoke alarms do not work. The primary cause is
due to DEAD or MISSING batteries. This Long-Life Lithium
Powered Smoke Alarm reduces the chance of an inoperable
smoke alarm.
APPLICATION:
BRK Electronics Model 4000LB is a single station smoke alarm specifically
designed for existing residential and institutional applications including
sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other
multifamily dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model 4000LB
has been fully tested and complies with Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Single and Multiple Station Smoke Alarms UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, NFPA
101 and with model building codes published by ICBO, SBCCI, BOCA,
and CABO.
Model 4000LB is designed to give reliable early warning of fire by
providing an 85dB alarm when the unit senses smoke from fire. 4000LB is
powered by a replaceable long-life lithium power cell which carries a 10
year limited warranty. The unit features an ionization sensing chamber
which operates on the ionization principle, a generally more effective
method of detecting smoke from fast flaming fires. The sensing chamber
consists of two electrically charged plates and a source of Americium 241
to ionize the air molecules in the space between the plates. As particles of
combustion enter the ionization chamber, they collide and combine with
ionized air molecules reducing the number of ionized air particles,
resulting in a decrease in current between the two plates. Electronic
circuitry monitors the change in current. When smoke inside the chamber
reaches a level of 1.20%/ft, the unit triggers an audible alarm. A manual
test feature checks all detector functions by stimulating the chamber to
simulate a 1.20%/ft smoke condition, causing the unit to alarm. In case of
an unwanted alarm, 4000LB features a silencer button that resets and
quiets the unit while the occupants respond.
Model 4000LB was designed with quick and easy installation in mind.
The unit surface mounts to ceilings and walls with hardware included.
ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS:
The smoke alarm shall be BRK Electronics Model 4000LB or approved
equal and shall provide, at a minimum, the following features and
functions.
1. An ionization sensing chamber with nominal sensitivity of 1.20%/Ft.
2. The unit shall be capable of self-restoring.
3. A fully screened sensing chamber to prevent entrance of small insects
thereby reducing probability of unwanted alarms.
