Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions Once it is wired in, the alarm needs no daily steps. Getting there takes guided setup: it connects to household AC power, and linked units must be wired together. A family member who is comfortable with basic wiring can do this from the instructions. Others may want an electrician. Placement and testing matter for safety, so follow the instructions closely.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is a hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with a built-in LED strobe, so a fire or CO warning can be seen as well as heard. The strobe is rated at 177 candela and flashes once per second, which meets the visual signaling requirements it lists (ANSI 117.1, NFPA 72 and UL1638). It's a good fit for a Deaf or hard of hearing person, or anyone who may not wake to a sound alone. When several BRK units are interconnected, the alarms sound and the strobes flash together. A sealed 10-year lithium battery keeps it working through a power outage. Because it is hardwired into household power, plan on proper installation rather than a quick plug-in.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Turn off power at the breaker, then mount the base and connect the alarm to the home's AC wiring, following the wiring diagram in the instructions.
    2. If you are using more than one unit, connect them with the interconnect wire so the alarms and strobes go off together.
    3. Restore power and press the test button to confirm the horn sounds and the strobe flashes. Plan on about an hour per unit, or hire a licensed electrician if you are not comfortable with household wiring.
