he BRK Brands, Inc. Model Number 7020B is a wire-in, 120V AC 60Hz single
and/or multiple station photoelectric smoke alarm specifically designed for 
residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, 
hotels, motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as defined in 
standard NFPA 101. Model 7020B complies with UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, HUD, 
FHA and other agencies that model their codes after the above agencies. It 
meets building codes where AC/DC with silence photoelectric smoke alarms with 
escape light are required. The alarms are interconnectable with up to 18 devices, 
of which 12 can be smoke alarms. 
The BRK 7020B features a photoelectric smoke sensing chamber, a bright 
escape light, an 85dB horn, a 9V battery back-up and a “silence” feature. 
Optipath 360 technology provides 360 degrees of direct access to the smoke 
sensing chamber. The “Perfect Mount” system features a gasketless base and a 
mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to 
allow for true alignment. This will allow fine-tuning on the positioning to 
compensate for out of aligned wall studs and to keep the wording level when 
wall mounting. Battery installation and removal can occur while the unit is 
mounted to the ceiling or wall via the side load battery compartment. Other 
Contractor Preferred features include a dust cover to keep alarm clean during 
construction, keyhole slots in the mounting bracket eliminate the need to remove 
the electrical box screws for installation. Two locking features are provided to 
prevent battery theft and/or theft of the unit. Connection to AC power is made 
with a “Quick-Connect” wiring 
harness. Installation is 
quick, easy and cost 
effective.
