DEScRiPTion Model BEAM355A BEAM355SA is a long range projected beam detector designed to provide open area protection It is to be used ULC listed compatible control panels only The detector consists of a unit and a reflector Smoke entering the area between the and reflector causes a reduction in signal When the ob reaches alarm thresholds chosen at the transmitter receiver unit detector generates an alarm signal Complete blockage of the beam causes trouble signal Slow changes in obscuration due to a build up of dirt or dust the lens of the detector are compensated for by a microcontroller that con monitors the signal strength and periodically updates the alarm and thresholds When the self compensation circuit reaches its limit the generates a trouble signal indicating the need for service LEDs on the detector indicate the current status a red LED for alarm a LED for trouble and a blinking green LED for standby operation Note panel controls the status of the red and green LEDs The local reset but is accessible by removing the outer paintable trim ring The yellow LED blink in specific patterns to provide a diagnostic aid when diagnosing the of a trouble signal It will also blink the amount of drift compensation has been used at the conclusion of the test Trouble signals automati reset upon removing the cause of trouble Red and yellow LEDs can be connected to the remote Alarm and Trouble outputs These outputs the functions of the detector red and yellow LEDs In addition to these there is a dual digital display that reads 00 to 99 This display is to indicate the signal strength of the beam in alignment mode and to the sensitivity setting of the detector in percent obscuration when the sensitivity of the detector No additional equipment is needed for of the beam APPlicATionS to the inherent capabilities of projected type beam detectors they are often in locations where spot type detection is impractical Projected type smoke detectors are ideally suited for environmental conditions that include high ceilings dusty and dirty environments or environments experience temperature extremes Often these conditions present special for the installation of spot type detectors and even greater problems their proper maintenance Due to the inherent flexibility of mounting loca and large coverage area of projected type beam detectors often the condi above can be addressed or minimized examples of applications for beam detectors might include freezers air hangars cold storage warehouses shipping warehouses enclosed park facilities sporting arenas and stadiums concert halls barns or stables of these environments might be considered too hostile for spot type detectors If the environment is considered to be hostile then the colder threshold settings should be used installing the transmitter receiver unit or reflector in these types of special consideration should be given to insure proper operation the beam detector The beam detector should not be installed in environ where there is no temperature control and condensation or icing is Condensation or icing of the reflector surface or the outer surface of transmitter receiver unit will obscure the light beam resulting in a false If elevated humidity levels and rapidly changing temperatures can be then condensation will likely form and the application should not be acceptable for the beam detector The beam detector should not be in locations where the transmitter receiver unit the reflector or the pathway between them may be exposed to outdoor conditions such as snow sleet or fog These conditions will impair the proper operation of detector and must be avoided AccESSoRiES following accessories can be purchased separately for use with this beam BEAMLRK allows Fire reflected beam detectors to be installed at between 230 and 328 feet 70 to 100 meters At these distances 8inch reflectors must be used to provide enough reflected infrared This kit includes 3 additional reflectors with new test scale legends The included with the transmitter receiver unit is the fourth reflector to used This kit is not compatible with the multi mount kit BEAMMMK BEAMMMK allows Fire reflected beam detectors and reflectors to be to either a vertical wall or the ceiling The kit allows for additional range in cases where the detector and reflector cannot be mounted 10 of each other The kit includes the hardware necessary to mount a single transmitter receiver unit or a single reflector To mount the the surface mount kit BEAMSMK must also be used If transmitter receiver and the reflector require additional alignment range kits are required The kit is not compatible with the long range reflector BEAMLRK BEAMSMK allows Fire reflected beam detectors to be mounted when wiring is used This kit must be used when mounting the transmitter unit with the multi mount kit BEAMMMK remote test accessory RTS451 KEYA allows for the beam detector to be remotely The test accessory provides test and reset functions and green red LED that mimic the LED on the detector liST Unit 1 Trim Ring 1 1 Terminal Blocks 3 Shunts 2 Manual 1 Sticky Paper 1 DiAGRAM noT To ScAlE BLOCK TRIM RING PlAcEMEnT section
