Auto-aligning detector
December 1st 2006 Available from Fire Fighting Enterprises, Fireray 5000 is the first in a new generation of auto-aligning optical beam smoke detectors. The product has a visible light laser which is aligned along the optical path of the infrared beam to assist the user in the correct placement of the reflective prism, ensuring the beam is not incorrectly aligned on another reflective object. When the beam is roughly aligned, the Autoptimise function takes over, steering it into the optimum position. If there is any deviation from the optimum performance position 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. If required, the user can also guide the beam manually using a four-way keypad on the low level system controller. Automatic contamination control is used to preserve the set signal level and maintain a constant sensitivity to fire. More articles from Fire Fighting Enterprises: |
