- Page 2 Reflective optical beam smoke detector user guide Distance and position guidelines These guidelines are recommendations only and it is important that you refer to your appropriate governing standards at all times. When positioning your firebeam there are important factors that you should consider, mainly what distance you are covering and the optimal position in the building.
- Page 3 What position? A roof is considered flat unless the height of the apex is greater then 0.6m. If the roof is flat thefirebeam system can be placed anywhere under the roof between 0.3m and 0.6m below the roof, up to a maximum height of from the floor.

Page 4: Mounting The Controller
Installing, commissioning and testing step 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). Avoid mounting the head where direct sunlight can shine directly into the ‘eyes’... - Page 5 Most wiring diagrams can be found on our website in more detail and in PDF format, go to www.thefirebeam.com...

- Page 7 Fast mode allows x4 times faster motor response and it may be quicker to commission each beam in turn. Once commissioning is complete thefirebeam will automatically revert to normal low power mode - (3.5mA).
- Page 8 X+0.00 Y+0.00 thefirebeam is looking for the far wall of the building and in some shorter distance applications will stop raising the IR Power when its sufficient for the distance. In these cases you can press Enter to accept the Pre-Alignment then right key and enter into Manual Alignment.

Page 9: Manual Alignment
Y+0.00 In the example below we can see that the reflector is below the eye line of thefirebeam head, so in this case you would need to lower the angle of the beam (-Y) until you receive an AQ of over 100%. -
Page 10: Auto-Alignment
Auto Alignment is an automatic process that will firstly reduce the RX Sense and IR Power to accommodate the best settings for thefirebeams environment. thefirebeam will automatically align to the centre of the Reflector, you will notice the X and Y axis moving as thefirebeam moves up, down, left and right to find the centre point. -

Use the right left keys to increase or decrease the beams sensitivity. It is factory set at 35% (meaning the received signal has to drop by 35% to trigger the fire relay.
