Fire-Lite BEAM355 and BEAM355S

BEAM355 and BEAM355S Reflected Type Beam Smoke Detectors FireLite BEAM355 and BEAM355S are reflected beam smoke detectors for protecting areas with high and sloping ceilings and wide open where spot type smoke detectors are difficult to install maintain applications are atriums cathedral aircraft hangars warehouses sporting arenas halls and enclosed parking facilities They are with the MS 9600 Series and MS9200 Series in or CLIP mode Installation of the single ended design is much quicker than a dual ended projected detector Alignment is easily accomplished with an sight and a two digit signal strength meter incorporated the beam detector Listed for operation from to the BEAM355 and BEAM355S are usable in open area where temperature extremes exceed the design of other types of smoke detection BEAM355 and BEAM355S are a transmitter receiver unit a reflector When smoke enters the area between the unit the reflector it causes a reduction in the signal strength threshold an alarm is activated The detectors four standard sensitivity selections as well as two settings When either Acclimate setting is detector advanced software algorithms adjust to the optimum sensitivity for the specific BEAM355S has an integral sensitivity test feature of a attached to a servomotor inside the detector optics of the RTS151 or RTS151KEY remote test stations the filter into the pathway of the light beam testing the sensitivity This sensitivity test feature allows the to quickly and easily meet the annual maintenance and requirements of NFPA 72 without physical access to the The servomotor must be powered by 24 VDC not power strength smoke Listed to UL 268 ULC CAN ULC S529 Transmitter receiver built into same unit Six user selectable sensitivity levels 16 to 328 use BEAMLRK beyond 230

detector has six sensitivity selections sensitivity settings a feature of specific control panels Each of these only acceptable over a specific distance between the detector and the reflector per UL 268 chart below determines which selections are acceptable your installed distance The sensitivity of the detector can set only when the housing is removed and the detector is in the fine adjustment step of the alignment mode by the illumination of the dual digital display To set sensitivity depress the sensitivity button one time See Locations diagram Once the switch is pressed the display will illuminate and read the current sensitivity in percent obscuration To change the sensitivity to depress the sensitivity switch until the desired off if no further switch presses occur achieved The
