Carbon Monoxide Alarm · 120V Hardwired · 9V Battery Backup · BRK CO5120BNA
What this product is for
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed for hardwired 120V AC installations where continuous CO monitoring is required, with a replaceable 9V battery backup to maintain operation during a power outage. It uses an electrochemical sensor and is intended for indoor residential or similar light commercial warning applications.
Use for
Use for homes, apartments, condos, hallways outside sleeping areas, utility areas, and other indoor spaces where a hardwired carbon monoxide alarm is specified. It is commonly used for replacement of compatible BRK or First Alert hardwired CO alarms in existing 120V alarm circuits.
Avoid for
Avoid using this unit as a smoke alarm, heat alarm, or outdoor detector. Do not use it in wet locations, unconditioned exterior spaces, or where line voltage is not available unless the installation is specifically designed for this type of alarm.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors needing a hardwired CO alarm with battery backup, electrochemical sensing, and a familiar BRK/First Alert replacement format. It suits projects where maintaining protection during a power interruption is important.
Installed in
Typically installed on a ceiling or wall in finished indoor spaces. Follow the manufacturer installation guide and applicable Canadian code requirements for placement, spacing, and interconnection compatibility.
Why this product exists
This model provides a fixed-power carbon monoxide alarm option for buildings that use 120V alarm wiring, while still keeping the alarm active on battery backup if AC power fails. Compared with battery-only alarms, hardwired units are commonly chosen where permanent power and coordinated alarm infrastructure are preferred.
Compared with similar products
Compared with plug-in or battery-only CO alarms, this model is intended for permanent hardwired installation. Compared with combination smoke/CO alarms, this is a dedicated carbon monoxide alarm only, which can be the right choice when smoke detection is handled separately. As typical guidance, hardwired alarms are often selected for new construction, renovations, or like-for-like replacement on existing alarm circuits. Actual suitability depends on wiring layout, compatibility, and local electrical code.
