1 Distance and Position Guidelines
These guidelines are recommendations only and it is important that you refer to your appropriate governing
standards at all times.
When positioning your ESP FIREbeam there are important factors that you should consider, mainly what distance
you are covering and the optimal position in the building.
1.1 Distance
The standard ESP FIREbeam is suitable for distances of 5m to 40m to the reflector. If you require 40m to 80m you
will need to use the mid range reflector extension kit. For ranges of 80m to 100m you will require the long range
reflector extension kit.
1.1.1 5 to 40 metres - The Standard ESP FIREbeam
The standard ESP FIREbeam comes boxed with the head unit, low level controller, one reflector, 3mm
allen key and quick start installation guide, this should be used for distances over 5m and up to 40m.
1.1.2 40 to 80 metres - The Standard ESP FIREbeam + Mid Range 40 to 80m Kit
For distances of 40 to 80 metres you will need to use the standard ESP
FIREbeam and a mid range extension kit (the mid range kit comes with
a backing plate and 3 extra reflectors, you will need to add the reflector
from the standard kit to the mid range kit with the screws provided).
1.1.3 80 to 100 metres - The Standard ESP FIREbeam + Long Range 80 to 100m Kit
For distances of 80 to 100 metres you will need to use the standard
ESP FIREbeam and a long range extension kit (the long range kit
comes with a backing plate and 8 extra reflectors, you will need to add
the reflector from the standard kit to the long range kit with the screws
provided).

1.2 Position
A roof is considered flat unless the height of the apex is greater then 0.6m. If the roof is flat the ESP FIREbeam
system can be placed anywhere under the roof between 0.3m and 0.6m below the roof, up to a maximum height of
40m from the floor. The ESP FIREbeam has a detection area of 7.5m either side of the beam. If the roof is
considered to have an apex, place the ESP FIREbeam system 0.3m to 0.6m down from the top of the apex, up to a
maximum height of 40m from the floor. The maximum protected area either side of the beam can be extended by
1% for every degree of roof pitch, see the example below:
NOTE: Careful design consideration should be made when positioning
beams and reflectors in environments that can be susceptible to
condensation i.e. warehouses near to water that have areas open
to the outside environment or that are exposed to quick extreme
changes in temperature. To assist with this problem that can affect
all beam detectors we produce an anti-fog kit comprising of a
specially coated reflector and lens cover. Individual reflectors are
also available. The standard ESP FIREbeam and range kits can be
supplied as anti-fog sets as a special order.

2 Installing, Commissioning and Testing
2.1 Step 1 - Mounting the Head
Screw the head backing plate to the wall - always try to use as sturdy a location as possible, such as bric k or major
structural steels (avoid mounting to outer metal cladding etc). Avoid mounting the head where direct sunlight can
shine directly into the ‘eyes’ of the beam (care should be taken when mounting in glass atriums). Ambient sunlight
will not affect the beam.
Also available - unistrut adapter plate
Use this accessory for easy mounting to unistrut
fabrication. Holes are pre-drilled to the correct pitch
of the head and conveniently positioned for use with
unistrut.
2 knock-outs are provided on
both sides. Take care when
using drills not to damage the
circuit board.
Wire to low level controller using
bottom colour coded terminals.
Wire into system as required
(see “Wiring Configuration” on
page 7). Ensure that all wiring
is below the level of the front
edge of the box.
Screw in through holes provided
outside of the rubber seal.
2.2 Step 2 – Programming the Analogue Address
The FIREbeam is programmed via the integral FIREbeam Control Module situated on the main PCB within the
head unit. To program an address you will require a TCH-B100 Hand Held Programmer and a PL-3 Programming
Lead (both provided separately). Connect the PL-3 Programming Lead to the TCH-B100 Hand Held Programmer
and then to the blue programming socket on the FIREbeam Control Module. Refer to the TCH-B100 Instructions
for further details on programming addresses. The programmed address can be written on the module label in the
space provided.
Once the unit is
programmed connect
the head to the base
plate by first plugging
in the connector.
Do not force in, white
wires should be
uppermost. Should
you forget to connect
this the controller
screen will read
ERROR.
Screw the head
screws down with
the 3mm allen
key provided.
Your wiring
should be flush
and not flattened
by tightening
down screws.
