Ademco Inc. 1046869 Hardwire Smoke Co Alarm 85db

Product Description

The ADEMCO INC. 1046869 is a hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm designed for residential installation by licensed electricians and fire alarm technicians. It uses an ionization sensor to detect fast-burning fires and electrochemical sensing technology to identify carbon monoxide concentrations. A 9-volt battery backup keeps the unit operational during power outages. An 85-decibel siren provides audible alerts, and indicator lights on the face of the unit display the presence of smoke or CO at a glance. A single test and silence button simplifies weekly testing and nuisance alarm response.

This alarm is suited for residential applications where both smoke and carbon monoxide detection are required by local building code. It can be interconnected with other compatible BRK First Alert detectors so that all units sound simultaneously when a threat is detected in any part of the structure. The universal mounting bracket accommodates a range of ceiling and wall junction boxes, making it adaptable to new construction and retrofit installs alike. Always verify local building code requirements before installation to confirm compliance with applicable standards.
