Smoke Alarm · 120V AC Hardwired · Photoelectric with 9V Battery Backup · BRK 7016BTCA
Hardwired 120V AC photoelectric smoke alarm with 9V battery backup for residential and multi-unit applications. Interconnects with up to 18 compatible BRK/First Alert devices, with a maximum of 12 smoke alarms, and includes test/silence, latching alarm indication, and end-of-life notification.
What this product is for
The BRK 7016BTCA is a hardwired 120V AC photoelectric smoke alarm with 9V battery backup for dwellings, apartments, dormitories, hotels, and other multi-family or institutional sleeping areas where a wire-in smoke alarm is required. Photoelectric sensing is generally preferred where earlier response to smouldering fire conditions is important.
Use for
Use for ceiling or wall-mounted smoke alarm installations on an unswitched 120V AC, 60 Hz circuit. Suitable for interconnected alarm systems with up to 18 compatible BRK or First Alert devices, with a maximum of 12 smoke alarms. Commonly used in residential suites, corridors, bedrooms, and renovation or replacement work where battery backup is required during power outages.
Avoid for
Avoid using this unit as a carbon monoxide alarm, heat detector, or standalone solution where local code requires a different alarm type or smart/networked functionality. Do not use on switched circuits or in applications outside the listed temperature and humidity range.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors needing a hardwired photoelectric smoke alarm with battery backup, interconnect capability, quick replacement features, and contractor-focused installation details such as a side-load battery drawer, Quick-Connect harness, dust cover, and locking features.
Installed in
Installed on 120V AC branch circuits in homes, apartments, dormitories, hotels, motels, and similar occupancies. The alarm body measures 5.0 in diameter x 2.1 in high (127 mm x 53 mm), making it suitable for standard ceiling or wall mounting at a junction box.
Why this product exists
This model provides hardwired smoke detection with backup protection during outages, while allowing multiple alarms to sound together when interconnected. The photoelectric sensor is designed to respond well to larger smoke particles typically associated with smouldering fires, and the latching indicator helps identify the initiating unit after an alarm event.
Compared with similar products
Compared with ionization hardwired smoke alarms, this photoelectric model is generally selected for improved response to smouldering fire conditions and reduced nuisance alarms in some applications. Unlike battery-only alarms, it connects to building power while maintaining 9V backup. Typical guidance: interconnected hardwired alarms are commonly used to improve whole-home notification, but actual layout and device selection must follow local code and manufacturer instructions.
Actual performance depends on installation conditions, alarm placement, maintenance, and local electrical and fire code.
