WHAT IS AN OPTICAL BEAM SMOKE DETECTOR?

An Optical Beam Smoke Detector is a device which monitors the amount of Infrared light transmitted from a light source to a photosensitive Receiver across an

open area to be protected. If obscuration of the Optical Beam path exceeds a set value due to smoke, the

Optical Beam sends a signal to the Fire Alarm Control Panel

If smoke obscures the light path from Transmitter (Tx) to Receiver (Rx)

above a preset level, an alarm condition is signalled to the Fire Alarm Control Panel

EXTRACT FROM STANDARDS

BS5839: “Transmitters, Receivers and any Reflectors should be

mounted on solid construction that will not be subject to movement, likely to affect the alignment of the optical beam, as a result of changes in temperature or imposed load”

UL: “Projected beam-type detectors and mirrors shall be

mounted on stable surfaces to prevent false or erratic operation due to movement.”

MAINTAINCOMMISSIONINSTALLSPECIFYWHEREWHAT

• Conduct a Fault test by fully covering the

Reflector, within two seconds, with non-

reflective material

TESTING A FIRERAY 5000 OPTICAL BEAM SMOKE DETECTOR

• Conduct a Smoke test by gradually covering the

Reflector, taking longer than two seconds, with

non-reflective material

To confirm successful

alignment

MAINTAINING AN OPTICAL BEAM SMOKE DETECTOR

To ensure the system continues to operate correctly:

• Check for visual damage regularly

• Check installation remains mechanically and electrically correct

• Check there have been no major changes to the environment such as line of sight, obstructions, reflections, strong light sources etc.

• Clean the system regularly

• Check operation of the system with regular Fault and Fire tests
