Optical Beam Smoke Detector

The photosensitive element of the optical beam smoke detector sees light produced by the transmitter in a normal condition.

Optical beam smoke detector.

The optical beam smoke detector works on the principle of light obscuration. The receiver is calibrated to a preset sensitivity level based on a percentage of total obscuration. With only one device to install and align these single ended optical beam solutions save you time and money on open area and high ceiling applications. An optical beam smoke detector is a device that uses a projected beam of light to detect smoke across large areas typically as an indicator of fire.

An optical beam smoke detector is a device that uses a projected beam of light to detect smoke across large areas typically as an indicator of fire. They are used to detect fires in buildings where standard point smoke detectors would either be uneconomical or restricted for use by the height of the building. Optical beam smoke detectors are often installed in warehouses as a cost effective means of protecting large open spaces. With only one device to install and align these single ended optical beam solutions saves you time and money on large area applications.

Step 1 smoke enters the optical chamber. The beam detector sends out an invisible infra red ir beam of light that the receiver measures. Generic optical beam smoke detector with transmitter and reflector. Single ended reflected type design.

Guide to using optical beam smoke detection optical beam detection provides an economical solution for detecting smoke in large open space areas such as shopping malls warehouses and airports. Unlike traditional detection systems reflected beam smoke detectors were designed for spacious rooms open areas and high ceilings. If smoke is present in the air then this obscures or blocks the light received by the receiver lowering the amount of light. The alarm contains a pulsed infra red led which pulses a beam of light into the sensor chamber every 10 seconds to check for smoke particles.

The object includes parametric values for transmitter and reflector radius and depth beam range and coverage area. Reflected beam smoke detectors are designed for spacious rooms open areas and high ceilings. 16 to 328 foot protection range. An optical smoke alarm also called photo electric smoke alarm works using the light scatter principle.

The new simplex addressable beam detector combines the power and flexibility of idnet technology with the proven performance of the fireray 5000 optical beam smoke detector. Their innovative features make them popular choices for spaces like warehouses atriums arenas and churches.
