Brk Electronics 1046864 Combination Dc Smoke Co Detector

Product Description

The BRK ELECTRONICS 1046864 is a combination DC smoke and carbon monoxide detector designed for residential and light commercial life-safety applications. This unit uses aspiration-based smoke detection technology to sense airborne combustion particles and alert occupants to both smoke and CO hazards through a single device. Sold individually, it is installed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors during new construction or retrofit projects. Its dual-detection capability reduces the number of devices required per installation while meeting common code requirements for both smoke and CO protection in occupied spaces.

This detector is suited for installation in residential homes, apartments, and light commercial buildings where code mandates combined smoke and carbon monoxide detection. The DC power configuration makes it appropriate for battery-operated or low-voltage DC circuit installations. It fits into standard aspiration smoke detection systems and is typically placed in bedrooms, hallways, and living areas per NFPA 72 and local fire codes. Each unit ships individually and is ready for single-station or multi-station installation depending on system design.

Key Features

• Dual-function detection covers both smoke and carbon monoxide in a single unit
• DC power configuration supports battery or low-voltage DC circuit operation
• Aspiration smoke detection technology for responsive airborne particle sensing
• Single-unit packaging allows for straightforward individual installation or staged deployment
• Suitable for residential and light commercial life-safety system applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation unit for residential and light commercial DC-powered combination smoke and CO detection systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified contractor in accordance with NFPA 72, local fire codes, and the manufacturer instructions included with the unit. Disconnect all power sources, including batteries, before servicing or replacing an existing detector. Mount the unit at the height and location specified by NFPA 72 for the hazard type being detected. Do not paint over, obstruct, or modify the sensing chamber in any way, as this will impair detection performance.
