Key Features:

Firebeam Xtra has new revised optics: This new design incorporates all the leading features we have honed over the years and with the latest advanced components we have produced a VdS approved fully compliant to EN 54-12:2015 beam detector that out performs all other beams in the market place.

Five Times Faster: Firebeam have designed completely new linear stepper motors which have resulted in amazingly fast commissioning and routine maintenance. Under test conditions at 40 metres we recorded an auto-align time of 3m 02s using the Fire Beam straight out of the box. Once aligned a routine re-alignment was timed at just 1m 07s. This is class-leading performance not only in terms of speed but also in terms of advanced robust design built for precise purpose.

Multi Language Support: The FireBeam Xtra has the ability to display seven different languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, and Czech. A feature that is welcomed by our ever increasing international customers as we now sell to 62 countries around the world.

Auto-Align On/Off: Although rarely needed, this facility allows you to turn off the auto-alignment in normal service, should the environment be liable to occasional contamination (such as theatres with fake smoke). As motorised beams work by seeing the reflector, if they are unable to because of unavoidable obscuration they can fall out of alignment when trying to find the obscured reflector. The FireBeam Xtra will remain in perfect alignment in these environments simply by not trying to re-align itself. Auto-alignment will still continue to work in commissioning modes. This facility is best suited to beams that are mounted on solid surfaces that are not susceptible to building movement at all. For buildings that are liable to movement (such as metal warehouses) we have also built in a new delay function that can be used instead (see below).

Auto-Align Time Delay: Again 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 if required, to allow the environment to clear.

Beam Phasing: It is possible that beams that face each other will cause problems as their sample rates could coincide and result in unreliable readings, meaning false auto-alignment and unreliably in 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 any 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 falls 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 fall in and out of a fire state. This can be adjusted to anywhere between 1% and 40%. The hysteresis can simply be adjusted from this new menu option.

Up to 160 Metre Range: With new enhanced optics you can cover distances up to 160 metres, meaning for distances over 100 metres you no longer need to use two beams, saving both time and money.

Distance Range With The Supplied Standard Kit: 7 to 70 Metres 

(Can be extended up to 160 Metres with the relevant extension kit - Not supplied) 

It can be powered from the loop on Apollo XP95 protocol systems with the suitable mini switch interface unit also compatible with most conventional and addressable fire alarm systems (May require a power supply and interface depending on your system)

FireBeam ADAPTER Plate:

The Adaptor Plate is a clear acrylic plate that allows easy mounting of the Fire Beam Head Unit to Unistrut fabrication. The holes are pre-drilled to the correct pitch of the Head Unit and are conveniently positioned for use with the popular Unistrut system using the screws provided.
