Optical Beam Smoke Detectors

Energy-efficient, wide-ranging optical beam smoke detectors

Optical Beam Smoke Detectors

Energy-efficient, wide-ranging optical beam smoke detectors

Key Features

  • Self aligns itself to the centre of the reflector during commissioning and automatically keeps alignment when building movement occurs
  • Auto alignment can be disabled making the beam suitable for environments susceptible to occasional contamination such as theatres with fake smoke
  • Very low power consumption (only 3.5mA in any state)
  • Easy to follow menu system
  • 7 to 70 metres range as standard but can be extended up to 160 metres
  • IP 65 as standard ensuring the unit is suitable for hostile environments such as food processing plants that have to be hosed down
  • Low level controller ensures all controls are set from the safety of ground level
  • The Firebeam is a conventional device but can easily be made addressable by using a manufacturers interface

Weight: 0.8Kg
FPA-981 140-160 Metres Range Extension Kit When used in conjunction with the FPA -979, the beam can cover distances between 80 and 100 metres. Simply add the single reflector supplied with the FPA -979 to the spare space on the clear acrylic plate with 8 extra reflectors attached. Dimensions: 394mmW x 394mmH x 5mmD

FPA-982 Head Interface Adapter to Mount Unistrut This clear acrylic plate allows easy mounting of the beam head to Unistrut fabrication. Holes are pre-drilled to the correct pitch of the head unit and are conveniently positioned for use with the Unistrut system using the screws provided. Dimensions: 250mmW x 270mmH x 5mmD
Weight: 0.6Kg
FPA-983 Anti-Fog Kit for Firebeam Head This kit consists of an anti-fog reflector and lens that is placed over the “eyes” of the of the beam head. This reduces the risk of false alarms as beam detectors of this type see condensation as obscuration and can’t tell the difference between this and smoke.
FPA-984 Firebeam Single Anti-Fog Reflector The FPA -984 is a single reflector that has been developed to overcome the problems that condensation can cause to the beam detector and helps the prevention of false alarms.
FPA-985 Firebeam Anti-Fog Window The FPA -985 is a single lens cover that is placed over the “eyes” of the beam head in order to overcome the issues that condensation can cause to the beam detector.
FPA-986 Anti-Fog Firebeam Kit Consisting of 1 x Head, 1 x Controller and 1 x Reflector Coverage: Between 5 and 40 metres
Suitable Use: In similar areas to the basic FPA -979 kit but also in areas where conditions such as condensation or temperature change is an issue
Head Dimensions: 155mmW x 180mmH x 137mmD (Weight: 1.1Kg)
Controller Dimensions: 120mmW x 185mmH x 62mmD (Weight: 0.55Kg)
FPA-987 Anti-Fog 40-80 Metres Mid-Range Kit When used in conjunction with the FPA -986, the beam can cover distances between 40 and 80 metres. Simply add the single reflector supplied with the FPA -986 to the spare space on the clear acrylic plate with 3 extra anti-fog reflectors attached. Dimensions: 293mmW x 293mmH x 5mmD
Weight: 0.8Kg
FPA-988 Anti-Fog 80-100 Metres Long Range Kit When used in conjunction with the FPA -986, the beam can cover distances between 80 and 100 metres. Simply add the single reflector supplied with the FPA -986 to the spare space on the clear acrylic plate with 8 extra anti-fog reflectors attached. Dimensions: 394mmW x 394mmH x 5mmD
Weight: 1.8Kg
FPA-989 Firebeam Adjustable Wall Bracket A high quality, fully adjustable bracket that can accommodate both the beam head and the reflector or reflector kits. The bracket includes an integrated spirit level.
FPA-990 Firebeam 24V 1.5A Power Supply Unit Specially designed for use with the Firebeam, these 24 Volt 1.5 Amp power supply units have full VdS approval to EN54-4. Batteries Required: 2 x 3.2Ah (FPA-071)
