PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The FireSense SS-BEAM1224 is a conventional projected beam smoke sensor. It is uniquely suited for
protecting open areas with high ceilings where other methods of smoke detection are difficult to install and
maintain. Alignment is quickly accomplished via an optical sight and a 2-digit signal strength meter incorporated
into the product.
Listed for operation from -30ºC to 55ºC, the SS-BEAM1224 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 SS-BEAM1224 consists of a transmitter/receiver unit at the head end and a reflector. When smoke enters the
area between the unit and the reflector, it causes a reduction in the signal and when the smoke level reaches the
predetermined threshold, an alarm is activated.
The SS-BEAM1224 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 advanced software
algorithms to select the optimum sensitivity for the specific environment.

Installation Guide
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Installation/Alignment
The alignment is divided into four steps: coarse alignment, fine adjustment, final gain adjustment, and final
verification. It is necessary for all four steps to be executed properly to ensure proper alignment of the product.
Pre-Alignment Checklist
3 Ensure that both the detector and reflector are mounted securely to stable surfaces
3 Ensure that all wiring is correct
3 Ensure that terminal blocks are fully seated into their receptacles on the detector
3 Complete any wiring dressing to minimize movement to the detector once the alignment procedure is
completed
3 Ensure that the appropriate number of reflectors are used for the installed distance. Distances between
70 - 100m require additional reflectors (4 total). The BEAMLRK accessory should be used in these cases.
3 Ensure that the line of sight between the detector and reflector is clear and that reflective objects are not
too near.

Installation Guide
3 Ensure that both the detector and reflector are mounted within their operational parameters for off axis
angles (see below)
3 Disable the zone or system to prevent unwanted alarms before applying power
3 Ensure power to the detector is “ON”
You are now ready to begin the alignment procedure.
Reflector Mounting Guidelines
Step 1. Coarse Alignment
Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for this step.
1. Ensure that both of the optics lock-down screws are loosened so that the optics will move freely.
2. Looking through the alignment mirror, at both the alignment sight and reflector simultaneously, locate the
position of the reflector in the optical sight. This step will require some practice. It is necessary to train your
eyes to shift focus between the reflector and the mirror in order to locate the reflector. If the distance between
the reflector and the detector is large it is helpful to place a brightly coloured object on the wall near the
reflector to aid in seeing the reflector in the alignment mirror.
3. Once the reflector has been located, begin to adjust both the horizontal and vertical alignment knobs so that
the reflector becomes centred in the alignment mirror. Take care in this step. If the optics are incorrectly aligned
in this step, it will not be possible to proceed with the fine adjustment step.
