Description of BRK Brands 7010B Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Photoelectric Sensor and Battery Backup
FIRST ALERT PHOTO ELECTRONIC SMOKE ALARM *120V with 9V battery back-up (included) *85 dB alarm horn *Manual test button *Interconnectable up to 18 multiple station alarmsThe BRK hardwire smoke alarm with photoelectric sensor is designed to reduce common "nuisance" alarms. It's an excellent choice for installations in or near kitchens, near fireplaces, or in hallways directly outside bathrooms, utility rooms, or other areas prone to steam. This alarm is also a popular choice for hotel/motel applications.
The 7010B AC-powered smoke alarm with photoelectric sensor includes these features:
- Photoelectric sensor which is more effective at detecting smoldering fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame.
- 120-volt VAC 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.
- Quick plug-in power connector for easy installation.
- 9-volt battery backup for peace of mind during power malfunction.
- Alarm indication which in an interconnected system, automatically identifies which unit initiated the alarm.
- Optipath 360 technology allows 360-degree access to the layer of air on the ceiling or wall that carries the fire signatures (smoke, combustion particles and volatile components).
- Single test/silence button which both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality.
- Locking feature for tamper resistance.
- 10-year limited warranty.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of BRK Brands 7010B Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Photoelectric Sensor and Battery Backup
Customer Review: Works When Needed Most
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased several BRK 7010Bs to replace the 4120Bs and 9120Bs that came with my house when it was built. As I've read in many reviews, both the 4120B and the 9120B would "cry wolf" from cooking and in the middle of the night and randomly chirp. I had enough so I did a little bit of research on smoke alarms and sensing technologies.
I chose the 7010B because I liked what I saw with the photoelectric sensor. Photoelectric sensing technology senses smoke particles from smoldering fires whereas ionization detects combustion particles from fast flaming fires. It turns out that a vast majority of home fire deaths are from the smoke itself, not the fire. Also, most home fires begin as slow smoldering fires. Ionization detectors are almost completely incapable of sensing smoke from smoldering fires. It would only make sense to me that my smoke alarm could actually sense real fire smoke and not just my cooking.
The other reason I chose the 7010B was that it carries the same basic features as the 9120B such as the slide out battery compartment, the combined test/silence button, and the ease of installation.
Installation was very easy too. All I had to do was replace the trim ring as the plug was exactly the same. I can't imagine the wire harness being hard to replace either if you do your own home electrical work.
So I installed the alarms and that was that until it was time for the real thing (more or less). I had some pasta boil over on the stove and the burner caught on fire. It wasn't major, maybe 6 to 8 inch flames, but a fire nonetheless. I was in the kitchen when it all went down and saw the whole thing. It was maybe 10 seconds from the time I saw the flames pop up to the time the smoke alarm in the next room shrieked to life (along with the rest of the interconnected detectors through the house). I'm confident that I would have caught it just in time whether or not I saw it happen because I know the alarm would have still gone off.
I should also mention that I have had no issues whatsoever with any of these alarms going off for cooking alone, no midnight false alarms and no random low battery chirps.
To sum it all up, it's a great, easy to install alarm that works when you need it to and not when you don't.
