System Sensor BEAM 1224 Series Single-Ended Reflected Type Beam Smoke Detector Description The System Sensor BEAM1224 Series 4-wire projected beam smoke detector is uniquely suited to sense smoke in open areas with high ceilings where spot-type detectors are difficult to install and maintain. It is suitable for use with any UL® Listed fire alarm control panel providing a 15-32 VDC power source. The single-ended reflective design offers a simpler installation than the traditional transmitter and receiver types of beam detectors. Alignment is swiftly accomplished via an optical sight and a 2-digit signal strength meter integral with the product. Listed for operation from –22o F to 131o F, the BEAM1224 can be installed in garages, warehouses and other harsh environments where the temperature extremes exceed the capability of spot-type detectors. The BEAM1224 consists of a combination transmitter/ receiver unit and a reflector. When the smoke enters the path between the unit and the reflector, it causes a reduction in the signal, and when the smoke level reaches the predetermined threshold, an alarm results. BEAM1224 WITH REFLECTOR Features • Listed to UL® Standard 268. • Offers a single-ended, reflective design. • Includes six user-selectable sensitivity levels. The unit has four standard sensitivity selections along with two Acclimate settings. When either of the two Acclimate settings are selected, the detector will automatically adjust its sensitivity using the advanced software algorithms to select the optimum sensitivity for the specific environment. The BEAM1224S is equipped with an integral sensitivity test feature consisting of a test filter attached to a servo motor inside the detector optics. Using the remote test station Model RTS451, the motor moves the filter in the path of the light beam, thereby serving as an accurate test of the receiver sensitivity. This test feature allows the user to quickly and easily comply with the annual maintenance and test requirements of NFPA 72. • Projects a 16ft. to 328 ft. (4.9 to 9.10 m) detection range. • Compatible with UL Listed 24 VDC control panels. • Provides an integral sensitivity test feature (BEAM1224S). • Has a digital display - no special tools required. • Contains a user-friendly alignment procedure. • Operates with an integral automatic gain control that compensates for signal deterioration from dust build-up. • Uses a remote test station (optional).
