SYSTEMSENSOR BEAM200

BEAM200 and BEAM200S
Single-ended
Reflected Type
Beam Smoke Detectors
The BEAM200 and BEAM200S single-ended reflected
beam smoke detectors are uniquely suited for protecting
open areas with high ceilings where other methods of
smoke detection are difficult to install and maintain.
Features
•16 to 328 foot protection range
•Single-ended, reflective design
•Easiest alignment in the industry with digital display
•6 field selectable sensitivity levels
•Optional integral NFPA 72 sensitivity test feature
•Removable plug-in terminal blocks
•Built-in automatic gain control compensates for signal deterioration
from dust build-up
•Remote test station available
The System Sensor BEAM200 and BEAM200S intelligent
reflected beam smoke detectors are designed to be used with
UL Listed compatible control panels only. Since all of the wiring is
connected to one side, the installation of the single-ended reflective
design is much easier than dual-ended projected beam detectors.
Alignment is accomplished quickly via an optical sight and a 2 digit
signal strength meter incorporated into the product. Listed for
operation from –22°F to 131°F, the BEAM200 detector can be used
in open area applications to provide early warning in environments
where temperature extremes exceed the capability of other types of
smoke detection.
The BEAM200 smoke detector includes one wired transmitter/
receiver unit and one reflector. When smoke enters the area between
the unit and the reflector it causes a reduction in the signal. The
alarm is activated when the smoke level reaches the predetermined
threshold.
•Paintable cover
•Optional heater kits available
The BEAM200 device has four standard sensitivity selections along
with two Acclimate™ settings. When either of the two Acclimate
settings are selected, the detector automatically adjusts its sensitivity
using advanced software algorithms to select the optimum
sensitivity for the specific environment.
The BEAM200S model is equipped with an added feature, an integral
sensitivity test feature that uses a test filter attached to a Servo motor
inside the detector optics. Using the remote test station RTS451, the
motor is activated and moves the filter in the pathway of the light
beam, thereby testing detector sensitivity. This integral sensitivity
test feature allows the user to quickly and easily meet the annual
maintenance and test requirements of NFPA 72.

Smoke Detector Spacing On smooth ceilings, 30 to 60 feet between
projected beams and not more than one-half
that spacing between a projected beam and a
sidewall. Other spacing may be used depending
on ceiling height, airflow characteristics, and
response requirements. See NFPA 72.
