DESCRIPTION
The FIRERAY 2000 EExd SMOKE DETECTOR SYSTEM is designed primarily to protect EExd, IIB
hazardous areas.
It consists of a standard Fireray 2000 Controller/Analyser, combined with highly rugged flameproof
Transmitter and Receiver heads.
The Transmitter and Receiver Heads are designed to be mounted within the protected hazardous area,
whilst the Analyser is housed outside it. Using the Standard Analyser unit in this way allows a
significant cost reduction when compared to a system utilising flameproof enclosures for all component
parts. The maximum lateral beam coverage is 15m per Fireray System installed.
Once installed, the Transmitter Head projects a modulated Infra-Red Beam across the protected area, to
the Receiver head mounted opposite. The received signal strength is monitored and analysed in the
Ground Level Controller. Should the beam strength fall below the preset threshold for more than 8 -10
seconds, a Fire Alarm is signalled to the Control Equipment. The analyser also incorporates monitoring
for cable breaks or loss of function at the Transmitter or Receiver. If the signal strength is reduced
suddenly (<5 seconds) by greater than 93% a Fault Alarm is indicated to the Control equipment. The
Fire and Fault Alarm outputs are provided via two sets of Voltage-Free change-over relay contacts.
The Fire Alarm Relay may be set for latched or auto-reset operation as desired. The Fault Alarm is
designed to auto-reset once the signal is returned to serviceable limits.
The system may be used with 'intelligent' or 'non-intelligent' systems. Due to the very low current
consumption, back-up battery life is extended and the system may be powered from alarm loop supplies
in most cases.

It consists of a standard Fireray 2000 Controller/Analyser, combined with highly rugged flameproof Transmitter and Receiver heads.
  • Page 2: Statement Of Intended Use

    STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE This system is intended for use as a Smoke Detector only, in EExd IIB, or lower grade areas. It must not be used in areas with a greater hazard rating. It must be installed and tested by approved, competent personnel, in accordance with all regulatory and local codes of practise.
  • Page 3: Principle Of Operation

    WARNING The area into which the Fireray parts are to be fitted must be made safe before attempting any work on the system. It must also be checked thoroughly prior/during/after commissioning, to ensure it cannot compromise the safety of the area in which it is fitted. Note that only the Transmitter and Receiver parts may be installed in the hazardous area, NOT the Controller Unit.
  • Page 4  By de-powering the system for 1 second, then re-powering. Following a reset the system takes 50 seconds to self-calibrate. During this time the Fireray adjusts it’s 100% signal reference level and so must have a clear unobstructed beam. No tests should be carried out until this initialisation period has elapsed.
  • Page 5  During installation, no threshold switch set at the Controller Unit (One switch only must be set). Possible Causes Of FIRE And FAULT Alarms Together  AGC at limit of compensation, COMP switch OPEN (UK installations only) and beam strength reduced by more than the set threshold.
  • Page 6 screws, between the Receiver Case and the mounting surface. (Some applications may require fabrication of angled mounting brackets etc, in order to cope with awkward wall positions etc. These are not supplied). Install all required cabling to the defined positions for each system part. (See wiring diagram on following page, for a typical installation).
  • Page 7: Testing The System

    TESTING THE SYSTEM Following installation, test the system as follows :- First ensure that the system is running and has been allowed time to calibrate (50 seconds after power- up or reset). Fire Alarm  Place the striped end of the test filter over the Receiver lens. ...
