A new beam detector which uses a visible laser to help correct alignment, has been unveiled by Fire Fighting Enterprises.
The laser is aligned along the optical path of the infrared beam, to assist in the correct positioning of the reflective prism. When the beam is roughly aligned, the Autoptimise function steers it into the optimum position.
If there is any deviation from this once the system has been installed, the Fireray 5000 will automatically compensate and, if necessary, re-align the beam, taking into account factors such as building shift. The user can also guide the beam manually using a four-way keypad on the low level system controller. Automatic contamination control is also employed, to preserve the set signal level and maintain a constant sensitivity to fire.
Wiring and installation are quick and easy, due to separate first fix back boxes on both the detector and controller. The two wire interface between the detector and system controller also keeps installation costs to a minimum.
All housing materials have a flammability rating of UL94 V0, and the product comes with a three year warranty as standard.
