Product Description
The BRK First Alert SC6W10 is a hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm designed for installed residential safety systems. It combines photoelectric smoke sensing with an electrochemical CO sensor, helping protect against both fire and carbon monoxide hazards in one unit. The alarm operates on 120V AC power and includes a sealed 10-year lithium battery backup for continuous protection during power interruptions.
This model is built for whole-home coverage through hardwired interconnection. It can interconnect with compatible alarms, so when one alarm sounds, the connected alarms can sound as well. The spec sheet lists interconnection with up to 18 alarms total, including up to 12 smoke alarms, and notes compatibility with most hardwired First Alert and BRK alarms.
For easier maintenance and replacement, the SC6W10 includes LED alarm indicators, SoftCue™ replacement reminders, end-of-life warnings, a Test/Silence button, latching alarm memory, self-diagnostic malfunction warnings, and a fully screened sensing chamber to help reduce unwanted alarms from dust and small insects. The product page also lists compatibility with BRK connected safety solutions, including the SC5 Smart Smoke & CO Alarm.
