gENERAL DESCRIPTION
System Sensor Model BEAM200/BEAM200S is a long range projected beam
smoke detector designed to provide open area protection. It is to be used with
UL-listed compatible control panels only. The detector consists of a transmit-
ter/receiver unit and a reflector. When the obscuration reaches alarm thresh-
olds (chosen at the transmitter/receiver unit), the detector generates an alarm
signal. Complete blockage of the beam causes a trouble signal. Slow changes
in obscuration due to a build up of dirt or dust on the lens of the detector are

CURRENT - 15mA maximum, 6mA minimum; NOTE: Output current is limited by 2.2Kohm resistor
compensated for by a microcontroller that continuously monitors the signal
strength and periodically updates the alarm and trouble thresholds. When the
self-compensation circuit reaches its limit, the detector generates a trouble
signal, indicating the need for service.
Three LEDs on the detector indicate the current status: a red LED for alarm, a
yellow LED for trouble, and a blinking green LED for standby operation. Note:
The panel controls the status of the red and green LEDs. The local reset but-
ton is accessible by removing the outer paintable trim ring. The yellow LED
will blink in specific patterns to provide a diagnostic aid when diagnosing the
cause of a trouble signal. It will also blink the amount of drift compensation
that has been used at the conclusion of the test. Trouble signals automati-
cally reset upon removing the cause of trouble. Red and yellow LEDs can be
