USER GUIDE
1 - 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 BEAM DETECTOR there are important factors that you should consider, mainly what
distance you are covering and the optimal position in the building.
What distance?
The standard BEAM DETECTOR is suitable for distances of 7m to 70m using the single reflector supplied.
If you require 70 to 140m you will need the standard fire beam and add to it
the mid range extension kit
The mid range kit comes with a backing plate and 3 extra reflectors, you will need to add
the reflector from the standard kit to the mid range kit with the screws provided.
If you require 140 to 160m you will need the standard firebeam and add to it
the long range extension kit
The long range kit comes with a backing plate and 8 extra reflectors, you will need to add
the reflector from the standard kit to the long range kit with the screws provided.
What position?
A roof is considered fat unless the height of the apex is greater then 0.6m. If the roof is fat BEAM DETECTOR
system can be placed anywhere under the roof between 0.3m to 0.6m below the roof, up to a maximum height of
40m from the floor.
On a Flat roof, the firebeam has a detection area of 7.5m either side of the beam.

The maximum protected area either side of the beam can be extended by 1% for every degree of roof pitch, see the example below (please check with your local regulations) Field of view NOTE:...

  • Page 3: Installing The Head

    2 - Installing the head Screw the 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” of the beam (care should be taken when mounting in glass atriums).

  • Page 7 Connect the head to the base plate by first plugging in the connector. Push connector all the way so that the thumb latch is effective. If detaching the detector head, squeeze the thumb latch and pull off the connector. To avoid straining the PCB, support the PCB whilst doing this. if you forget to connect the head to the circuit board, the App will show Connecting continuously whilst trying to connect to a powered detector head.

  • Page 10 7 - STEP THREE Commissioning - PRE ALIGNMENT This is the most important part of setting up your beam Remember no reflector. Pre-alignment sets up the amount of power you need for the distance you are covering and can indicate if you are receiving unwanted reflections from anything else in the beam path.
  • Page 11 8 - STEP FOUR Commissioning - MANUAL ALIGNMENT Having accepted Pre-Alignment you will return to the main commissioning screen. The next stage is manual alignment. You will notice that a tick has appeared on the Pre-Alignment bar. This is to let you know you have completed this step.
  • Page 12 The Fire Beam can be moved on both axis to a maximum of 5 degrees. Looking at the reflector this will move the beam across the reflector. To confirm the beam is seeing the reflector covering the reflector at any time should drop the AQ and prove the beam is on the reflector.
  • Page 13 Returning to the Home screen will show. 8 - STEP SIX Commissioning - TESTING The Fire Beam should now be tested for Fire and Fault. The Fire Beam must be tested at the reflector end and not at the Fire Beam head. This is to confirm it is looking at the reflector and completes the commissioning processes.

    Using the menu Now your beam is commissioned, you will be able to use the rest of the Firebeam features. The menu system can be accessed by SWIPING TO THE RIGHT or by pressing the BURGER STACK in the top left hand corner.

  • Page 16: Mode Change

    Mode Change Here we can make changes to how the beam behaves The APP text explains the function of each setting, here are additional notes. THRESHOLD Use the slider to increase or decrease the beam's sensitivity. It is factory set at 35% (meaning the received signal has to drop by 35% to trigger the fire delay.

  • Page 17: Auto Align

    AUTO ALARM RESET The beam is factory set to auto reset when received signal raises above the fire threshold hysteresis. This can be set to latching if your system requires this. AUTO ALIGN You may want to turn the auto alignment function off, for example, in an environment that often gets filled with welding smoke or has unwanted...

  • Page 18: Maintenance

    PHASE When using multiple beams that face each other the beam output signal could phase together and can cause unreliable cross talk readings, by setting each facing beam to a different phase number alleviates this problem. You can choose between 0 (default setting) and 6.

  • Page 19: Output Power

    ALARM AND FAULT COUNT Here we can see how many times the beam has gone into fire or fault since the beam was commissioned or since the event log was last cleared including testing. You can also reset the counts here BEAM ON - OFF If you may need to turn the beam off, it can be turned OFF and ON here.

  • Page 20: Receiver Sensitivity

    RECEIVER SENSITIVITY Here shows the receiver sensitivity and can be changed by using the slider. The range is between 0 & 128% Note: By changing the Output Power or Receiver Sensitivity you are changing a commissioned beam setting. It is advisable to retest your beam to check suitability of any changes made TEMPERATURE The temperature shown is at the beam head.
  • Page 21 Connect to Firebeam You use this screen to scan and connect to your beam of choice. Pressing Scan will reveal all the Firebeams within range. Press Connect to communicate with your chosen beam. This will take you back to the Home Screen for that beam. DISCONNECT When you have finished working on your beam simply return to the connect menu and press disconnect.
