SYSTEM DESIGN What is a beam detector? Positioning beam detectors The XP95 beam detector is made up of a transmitter, The XP95 beam detector must be positioned correctly a receiver, an interface and, optionally, one or more to minimise the detection time. The detection time refl... -
Page 5: How Many Xp95 Beam Detectors Can Be Connected To A Loop
Beam detectors must be protected by short-circuit iso- lators. For details of these please refer to Apollo PIN sheet PP2090. For calculation purposes the interface should be considered as 12 point detectors and the transmitter 7 point detectors. -

Total obscuration is defi ned as obscuration of the beam Colour Terminal to greater than 93% in 8–10 seconds. The interface Black XP95/Discovery Yellow must be set so that either a ‘fi re’ or a ‘fault’ signal is Blue Loop generated when this occurs. -

Page 10: Aligning The Beam Detector
www.acornfiresecurity.com Aligning the beam detector The beam detector incorporates alignment by means of an LED in the receiver as this method is convenient and can be carried out by one person without the need for cables or a voltmeter. The receiver is fi tted with a high-intensity red LED which, in normal conditions, pulses when a fi... - Page 11 www.acornfiresecurity.com Step by step guide to aligning and calibrating 1. Check that the cables at the interface (Fig 4 on page 6) are correctly con- nected and switch the interface to alignment mode. 2. Power up the beam detector. 3. After fi tting the transmitter and receiver as described in point 3 on page 8, loosen the transmitter so that it can be moved with slight resistance up, down, left and right.

Information exchanged between the interface and the receiver head is specifi c to individual receiver The XP95 beam detector responds to output bits heads and interfaces. from the XP95 protocol as follows: 6. If the fault LED fl ashes at any time, a fault signal When output bit 2 is set to logic 1 on two or more will be sent to the control panel. -

www.acornfiresecurity.com MAINTENANCE INFORMATION Replacement Units If any part of the beam detector set needs to be replaced for reasons of damage or malfunction, the Issue No transmitter, receiver and interface can all be ordered separately. As a result of product enhancements, however, some older issues of interface or receiver are not compatible with new units and it is not possible to replace older versions with the enhanced version separately. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting
www.acornfiresecurity.com TROUBLESHOOTING Before investigating individual units for faults, it is very important to check that the system wiring is fault free. Earth faults on a data loop or any ancillary zone wiring may cause communication errors. Many fault conditions are the result of simple wiring errors. Check all connections to the unit and make sure that the correct value resistors are fi... -
