Page 4: Step 1 Mounting The Head
www.acornfiresecurity.com 2 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). Avoid mounting the head where direct sunlight can shine directly into the ‘eyes’... - Page 5 www.acornfiresecurity.com Generic wiring configurations the zetabeam is a conventional device, below are suggested wiring configurations for single and multi heads on a zone. the zetabeam can easily be made addressable with the use of a manufacturers interface and in some cases can also be powered from the loop, ie with the Apollo XP95 switch monitor with isolator.

- Page 7 www.acornfiresecurity.com step 3 commissioning Commissioning the ZetaBeam is a simple procedure outlined in the following step by step explanation. stage one, language and commissioning speed 1. Important. Do COVER put the reflector up or it if already in place. the ZetaBeam PLUS Air Quality 0% 2.
- Page 8 www.acornfiresecurity.com Receiver sensitivity starts off at 5% and output power starts at 10%. The beam will start by raising its sensitivity first and can rise all the way up to 100%, after this the output power will rise. The objective of pre-alignment is to adjust the output power to the correct levels for the distance to be covered.
- Page 9 www.acornfiresecurity.com stage three, manual alignment You will now see the manual alignment screen showing anything between 0 and 6%. This is the amount of received signal with no reflector that the beam is picking up from the environment. NOW place or uncover the reflector on the blank wall directly opposite the beam head ensuring there is a clear path through any obstructions such as structural steels etc.

Once at 100% or if the reading is under 100% the ZetaBeam will automatically move its y and x axis until it centres itself onto the middle of the reflector.
