Distance The standard FIREbeam Xtra is suitable for distances of 7m to 70m to the reflector. If you require 70m to 140m you will need to use the mid-range reflector extension kit. For ranges of 140m to 160m you will require the long-range reflector extension kit.
40m from the floor. The FIREbeam Xtra has a detection area of 7.5m either side of the beam. If the roof is considered to have an apex, place the FIREbeam Xtra system 0.3m to 0.6m down from the top of the apex, up to a maximum height of 40m from the floor.
FIREbeam Xtra User Manual Note: The standard FIREbeam Xtra and range kits can be supplied as anti-fog sets as a special order. Installing, Commissioning and Testing Step 1 - Mounting the Head Screw the head backing plate to the wall - always try to use as sturdy a location as possible, such as brick or major structural steels (avoid mounting to outer metal cladding etc).
FIREbeam Xtra User Manual Connect the head to the base IMPORTANT ensure the Screw the head screws plate by first plugging in the connector is this way up. down with the 3mm allen connector. Do not force in, key provided.
Step 3 – Programming the Analogue Address The FIREbeam Xtra is programmed via the integral Control Module situated on the main PCB within the head unit. To program an address, you will require a TCH-B200 Hand Held Programmer and a PL-3 Programming Lead (both provided separately).
Your wiring should be flush and not flattened by tightening down screws. Step 4 - Commissioning Commissioning the FIREbeam Xtra is a simple procedure outlined in the following step by step explanation. Stage One - Language and Commissioning Speed IMPORTANT. Do NOT put the reflector up yet. However, if you are recommissioning the FIREbeam Xtra COVER it with a non-reflective black cloth or similar.
Fast mode allows x 4 times faster motor response and it may be quicker to commission each beam in turn. Once commissioning is complete the FIREbeam Xtra will automatically revert to normal low power mode - (3.5mA). Use the left and right keys to toggle between fast and normal, the * indicates which mode is selected.

Press enter to accept Pre-Alignment and confirm these settings by pressing the right key and enter into Manual Alignment. The FIREbeam Xtra is looking for the far wall of the building and in some shorter distance applications will stop raising the IR Power when it’s sufficient for the distance. In these cases, you can press Enter to accept the Pre-Alignment then the right key and enter into Manual Alignment.
FIREbeam Xtra User Manual Ensure 1m of clear space along the path of the beam and 500mm from the edges of the reflector. if the wall you are placing the reflector/s on is shiny or glass then the reflectors should be placed on a 1meter piece of non-reflective material like MDF to ensure correct operation.
FIREbeam Xtra User Manual The beam can be moved on both X and Y axis to a maximum 5 degrees using the left (x-), right (x+), up (y+) and down (y-) keys. Looking at the reflector this will move the beam across...
After 10 Seconds the beam should register FIRE and the Red light will flash. Once you have successfully completed both tests your FIREbeam Xtra is commissioned. You can now fine tune your beam to suit the environment if needed. Look through the following menus to see adjustments that can be made.
FIREbeam Xtra User Manual Screen and Menu Systems Home Screen This is the screen you would normally see when the beam is NORMAL commissioned. The air quality level has fallen below the fire threshold setting. If alarm is set to latching and you need to reset from fire press enter to see FIRE this screen and press enter again to reset and return to the normal screen.
Press enter to go into the menu system, then press down to go through the main menu options: Select this option to change system language Select this option to commission the FIREbeam Xtra Select this option to make all changes and adjustments to the beam Select this option to carry out routine maintenance...

FIREbeam Xtra User Manual Mode Change Here we can make changes to how the beam behaves. Press enter to go into the ‘Mode Change’ menu and access the sub menus. Threshold - use the right and left keys to increase or decrease the beams sensitivity.

FIREbeam Xtra User Manual Phase - When using multiple beams that face each other the beam output signals could phase together and can cause unreliable readings, by setting each beam to phase differently alleviates this problem. Use the right and left keys to give each beam a different phase pattern (length between output beam sample times) you can choose between 0 (default setting) and 6.

It is possible that you may see a negative number here, this can happen when the FIREbeam Xtra has been commissioned in a ‘dirty’ atmosphere such as builders’ dust which, once cleared, the beam then compensates for.
