System Sensor Description Sensor Model 6424 is a long range projected beam detector designed to provide open area protection It to be used with UL listed separately supplied power 4 control panels only The detector consists of a sepa transmitter and receiver Smoke entering the area the transmitter and receiver causes a reduction in at the receiver When the obscuration reaches one of predetermined thresholds chosen with a switch in the the detector generates an alarm signal Complete of the beam causes a trouble signal to avoid false Slow changes in obscuration due to a build up of or dust on the lens of the detector are compensated for a microcontroller which continuously monitors the sig strength and periodically updates the alarm and trouble When the self compensation circuit reaches its the detector generates a trouble signal indicating the for service LEDs at the receiver indicate the status of the detec a red LED for alarm a yellow LED for trouble and a green LED for standby operation The alarm signal and can be reset by a momentary power interrup by using the remote reset input to the receiver if using remote test reset station model RTS451 or with the lo reset button located behind the rear door in the receiver trouble signal automatically resets upon removing the of trouble In addition to these indicators there are LEDs on both the receiver and the transmitter which used as a beam alignment aid No additional equipment needed for alignment of the beam detector contains one Form A normally open con for alarm signals and one Form B normally closed for trouble signals Supervision of power is accom by installing a Power Supervisory End of Line Relay model A77 716 at the end of the detector power When power is applied to and through the detectors EOL Power Supervisory Module is energized The relay along with the detector trouble relay contacts provide a closed series circuit in the control panel loop A loss in power or a trouble condition the detector causes the respective EOL or trouble relay to resulting in a trouble signal at the control panel List Unit Unit Wiring Cable Wiring Cable Mounting Bracket Mounting Bracket inside part

Hav Jurisdiction AHJ For general information on the of detectors read System Sensor Manual I56 Guide for Proper Use of Projected Beam Detectors beam detectors are usually located with their parallel to the ceiling However they can be vertically or at any angle to protect the area in Since beam detectors sense the smoke buildup over distance they are ideal for locations with high ceilings can also be mounted on a wall or ceiling below the of a spot type detector reducing the effects of air Some typical locations would include large with high ceilings such as atriums warehouses and Projected beam smoke detectors should always be to stable mounting surfaces See the LOCATION section for details fire codes specify spacing on a given center to center between detectors under ideal conditions These are based on rooms with smooth ceilings and no obstructions between the contents being protected the detectors Moreover they are also based on a maxi ceiling height and on the assumption that the value the combustible nature of the contents of the room be protected do not warrant greater protection or closer IN MEXICO a room with a smooth ceiling detectors should be between 30 and 60 feet One half that spacing be the beam and the sidewall may be used as a guide Figure 1 The beam detector can be mounted with the on one wall and the transmitter on the opposite or both suspended from the ceiling or any wall ceil combination In the case of the ceiling mount the dis from the end walls should not exceed one quarter of selected spacing 7.5 ft maximum if the spacing is 30 See Figure 2 1

peaked type sloped ceilings FT S FT Locations detectors require a stable mounting surface for operation A surface which moves shifts vibrates warps over time will cause false alarm or trouble condi Initial selection of a proper mounting surface will false alarms and nuisance trouble signals the detector on a stable mounting surface such as concrete a sturdy load bearing wall support col

so that when mounted the receiver and the will be at approximately the same height Each bracket is composed of two parts that should be as with inside part between the ceiling and outside as shown in Figure 5 The brackets should be mounted that the slot in the front of each bracket is facing the bracket Mount the brackets only on solid stru
