WHAT IS AN OPTICAL BEAM SMOKE
DETECTOR?
Infra-red light Optical Beam axis and centre
An Optical Beam Smoke Detector is a device which monitors the
amount of Infrared light transmitted from a light source to a
photosensitive Receiver across an open area to be protected. If
obscuration of the Optical Beam path exceeds a set value due to
smoke, the Optical Beam sends a signal to the Fire Alarm Control
Panel
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
If smoke obscures the light path from
Transmitter (Tx) to Receiver (Rx)
above a preset level, an alarm condition is signalled
to the Fire Alarm Control Panel

EXTRACT FROM STANDARDS
BS5839:
“Transmitters, Receivers and any Reflectors should be mounted
on solid construction that will not be subject to movement, likely
to affect the alignment of the optical beam, as a result of changes
in temperature or imposed load”
UL:
“Projected beam-type detectors and mirrors shall be mounted
on stable surfaces to prevent false or erratic operation due to
movement.”

TESTING A FIRERAY 5000
OPTICAL BEAM SMOKE DETECTOR
To confirm successful alignment
•
Conduct a Fault test by fully covering the Reflector, within
two seconds, with non-reflective material
•
Conduct a Smoke test by gradually covering the Reflector,
taking longer than two seconds, with non-reflective material
This ensures successful alignment

MAINTAINING AN OPTICAL BEAM SMOKE
DETECTOR
To ensure the system continues to operate correctly:
•
Check for visual damage regularly
•
Check installation remains mechanically and electrically correct
•
Check there have been no major changes to the environment
such as line of sight, obstructions, reflections, strong light sources
etc.
•
Clean the system regularly
•
Check operation of the system with regular Fault and Fire tests
