The Fire Beam™ Xtra Beam Detector (7-70m)

The Fire Beam was developed to overcome the problems of old outdated technology in beam detection, this motorised beam now means that beam detection can be used reliably to produce cost effective solutions for protecting large open areas.

Building movement and accessibility have in the past, made beam detection unreliable, difficult, time consuming to commission and hard to maintain, but now by using the advanced motorised technology of The Fire Beam unreliability is no longer a problem. The Fire Beam will self align itself to the centre of the reflector when commissioning and will automatically keep alignment when building movement occurs. This intelligent motorisation will mean less false alarms therefore saving time, resources, reputations and ultimately money.

The new firebeamXtra raises the bar even higher and further than anyone else

The Fire Beam Xtra keeps all the advanced technology of The Fire Beam Plus but now boasts a world beating range of 160 metres (additional extension kit required for distances over 70m). New design optics mean you don't need as many reflectors as you used to and only one beam detector is required to cover distances over 100m compared to two previously.

Additional Features

• Five Times Faster - Completely new linear stepper motors have resulted in incredibly fast commissioning and routine maintenance. Under test conditions at 40m an auto-align time of 3m02s was recorded using The Fire Beam straight out of the box. Once aligned a routine re-alignment was timed at just 1m07s. This is class-leading performance not only in terms of speed but also of advanced robust design built for precise purpose.
• Multi Language Support - The Fire Beam Xtra has the ability to display seven different languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Czech.
• Auto-Align On/Off - This facility allows you to manually turn off the auto-alignment in normal service should the environment be liable to occasional contamination (such as theatres using smoke simulators). Auto-alignment can then be switched back on once the environment is clear.
• Auto-Align Time Delay - This facility is useful in environments that are liable to occasional short term obscuration. Adding a delay means that the beam will not check for alignment if the received signal drops for a predetermined time. Pre-set at 4 hours this can be altered to anywhere between 0 to 12 hours where required, to allow the environment to clear.
• Beam Phasing - Beams which face each other can cause problems as their sample rates can coincide and result in inaccurate readings, meaning false auto-alignment and unreliability during service. With the introduction of phasing it is now possible to mount beams facing each other with reflectors in-between. There are up to 7 different sampling rates to choose from, alleviating cross talk problems.
• Hysteresis - Changing the hysteresis will change the delay in returning from a fire state back to a normal state. For example, the beam is factory set at 15% so if the beam triggers into fire at 65% (35% threshold) it has to recover 15% to 80% before it returns to normal. This action prevents small fluctuations in returned signal causing the beam to trigger in and out of a fire state. This can be adjusted to anywhere between 1% and 40%. The hysteresis can simply be adjusted from the new menu option.
