Beam-type detectors
July 1st 2009

As a part of its fire safety system, the deluxe Caja Mágica tennis complex in Madrid, Spain, is using around 50 assorted Fireray 50R and Fireray 100R beam-type smoke detectors from Fire Fighting Enterprises to help protect the large indoor spaces created by the three main fully coverable stadiums.

With its largest stadium holding up to 12,500 spectators, and all three benefiting from retractable rain covers, effective fire safety throughout the large indoor area poses potential challenges. Reflective beam detectors, such as the Fireray models that have been installed, are designed specifically for situations such as this, with each unit's beam able to sense smoke over a wide corridor of space.

One Fireray 100R can detect smoke over an area as great as 1500m2, which would usually need about 15 point detectors to safely protect it, requiring a fraction of the cabling.
