Amazon.com Product Description

Introducing the revolutionary BRK 9120 series smoke alarms which have been redesigned from the ground up. They install faster, perform better, and are even smarter than before. All of these improvements help reduce nuisance alarms and save you time and money. BRK Electronics smoke alarms are designed to be easy to install, easy to maintain, and quality-engineered for years of virtually maintenance-free service. The 9120B AC-powered smoke alarm with battery backup includes these features:
  • Ionization sensor which helps detect fast flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly.
  • 120-volt AC inter-connectable (with maximum 18 compatible devices). The alarm can be interconnected with up to 12 other compatible smoke alarms and six compatible devices like bells, horns, repeaters and door closers. If one unit triggers an alarm, all smoke alarms in the series will sound. Power indicators show which unit in the series initiated the alarm.
  • Latching alarm indicator which automatically identifies which unit initiated the alarm.
  • Smart technology to reduce nuisance alarms.
  • 9-volt battery backup for peace of mind during power malfunction.
  • Single test/silence button which both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality.
  • Perfect mount system including a gasketless base for easy installation and new mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.
  • Mounting bracket lock for tamper resistance.
  • Dust cover to keep unit clean during construction.
  • 10-year limited warranty.
All BRK Electronics smoke alarms meet UL 217 standard and are listed with the California State Fire Marshal. They use the new UL mandated repeating 85-decibel alarm horn pattern. 10-year limited warranty. This unit is approved for sale in Oregon after new revisions on law HB2586.--Bree Norlander

The install was easy. I replaced 8 units in about an hour. Most of the time was spent moving between floors and rooms. It's only been about a month but I have had no problems with these new units. Easy to install, no problems, what's not to like!!!!!!!!!

I replaced both my direct wired (no batteries) BRK alarms due to the fact that I noticed that they were labeled to be replaced after 10 years service in 2005 (moved into house in 2008) and didnt know about that until I got up on the ladder and looked at it as the alarm was going off randomly (yes, it was unfortunately going off for me at night). So, I yanked it from the plug, went back to sleep and later googled to find this particular BRK model replacement. I replaced both easily and so far no problems ----after 1 month service so we'll see.
