Addressable Beam Detectors

Befitting Solution for Commercial Occupancies

Autocall addressable beam detectors provide smoke detection in areas with high ceilings or large, open spaces where it’s either impractical or not cost-effective to use traditional point-type sensors. Beam detectors can be mounted on walls and span large distances, making them an ideal solution for warehouses, airports, atriums, convention centers, shopping malls, auditoriums, and sports arenas. Our FIRERAY 5000-based solution features an auto-aligning, self-correcting infrared beam smoke detector. Up to two detector heads can report to a single ground-level controller. Installation, calibration, and service are quick and easy, and the AutoOptimise feature automatically adjusts the beam to accommodate changes in temperature, building settling and other factors. Addressable beam detectors are intelligent devices with a built-in connection to the Autocall IDNet sensor network, allowing them to communicate with the control unit for easier configuration, installation, service, and maintenance.

Features

Installation flexibility:Up to two detector heads can report to one controller. The controller can be mounted at ground level for easy access.
Continuous optimization:The AutoOptimize feature keeps the beam adjusted for maximum performance.
Built in electronic UL/ULC obscuration acceptance fire test.
Fire alarm control unit display:Users receive smoke status, controller-to-detector communication status, trouble status, analog signal strength values and compensation level.

Easy alignment:A built-in laser-assisted prism mounting supports faster alignment and installation.
Broad coverage:Lateral detection up to 30 ft. (9.144 m) on either side of the beam provides a maximum total coverage area of up to 19,800 square feet (1,829 square meters).
Fire alarm control unit-accessible settings:Users can select the sensitivity level, set the almost-dirty threshold, and initiate obscuration tests.
