Term Definition beam smoke A device such as the D296/D297 Series Projected Beam Smoke Detectors that senses smoke or smoke detector and visible heat waves by projecting a light beam from a transmitter across the protected area to a receiver that monitors the light signal.
Product Description Optional (cont) D1005 Test Cord Provides an electrical connection to the D296/D297 Series receiver to help align the receiver and transmitter. D308 Field Test Kit Tests the calibration of the D296/D297 Series by providing a calibrated amount of obscuration between the transmitter and receiver.
