Firebeam Anti-Fog Reflective Optical Beam Smoke Detector with Controller and Reflector (5 – 40m)

Description

Please Note: the Firebeam Plus range is now obsolete, replaced by the Firebeam Xtra range.

Firebeam Anti-Fog Reflective Optical Beam Smoke Detector with Controller and Reflector (5 – 40m)

The Anti-Fog version of the Firebeam, is for use in applications where condensing and fog may be an issue.

Beam detection has always been seen as the most economical way to protect large areas, but in the past this was seen as unreliable. Building movement and accessibility made beam detection unreliable, difficult, time consuming to commission and hard to maintain. Only now, with the introduction of The Fire Beam’s advanced technology, is reliability no longer a problem and beam detection is used with complete confidence.

The Fire Beam will self-align itself to the centre of the reflector when commissioning and will automatically keep alignment when building movement occurs. This intelligent motorisation will mean fewer false alarms therefore saving time, resources, reputations and ultimately money.

Key Features:

Very Low Power: using only 3.5mA any state opens up a whole world of options. In some cases you can loop power the beam, for instance using an Apollo xp95 mini switch monitor allows you do just that and turns the conventional Fire Beam into an addressable unit.

IP65: means no ingress whatsoever making The Fire Beam ideal for environments, such as food processing halls, as it can be hosed down. IP65 also means nasty little creatures can’t set up home inside and jeopardise the effectiveness of the detector.

Easy Clean Lenses: The Fire Beam has been designed to be easily cleaned due to its flat surfaces. Unlike other beams all the moving optics are safely encased inside the waterproof enclosure so you won’t accidentally knock the beam out of alignment. This means The Fire Beam can easily be cleaned from ground level using something like a no-climb pole and suitable attachment.

Hysteresis: Changing the hysteresis will change the delay in returning from a fire state back to a normal state. For example, the beam is factory set at 15% so if the beam falls into fire at 65% (35% threshold) it has to recover 15% to 80% before it returns to normal. This action prevents small fluctuations in returned signal causing the beam to fall in and out of a fire state. This can be adjusted to anywhere between 1% and 40%. The hysteresis can simply be adjusted from this new menu option.

Beam Phasing: It is possible that beams that face each other will cause problems as their sample rates could coincide and result in unreliable readings, meaning false auto-alignment and unreliably in service. With the introduction of phasing it is now possible to mount beams facing each other with reflectors in-between. There are up to 7 different sampling rates to choose from, alleviating any cross talk problems.

Auto-Align Time Delay: Again this facility is useful in environments that are liable to occasional short term obscuration. Pre-set at 4 hours this can be altered to anywhere between 0 to 12 hours if required, to allow the environment to clear.

Multi Language Support: The Fire Beam Plus has the ability to display seven different languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, and Czech.
