Keyswitch wiring if used

base.

Test Keyswitch

A test keyswitch unit can be connected to the 'beam transmitter' to facilitate simulation of a test fire condition.
The test keyswitch function is supported on Vigilon system only. The keyswitch unit is required to have a

series resistor of value 470W coupled with an end-of-line 10KW resistor wired as illustrated below.

There is a maximum cable length
limit of 15 metres from the 'beam
transmitter' base to the external
Keyswitch Unit.

A keyswitch input at the 'beam
transmitter' must be enabled
during commissioning.

The wiring is monitored for open
and short circuit failure.

On operating the keyswitch it will
cause a ramp down signal to
generate a test fire condition.

How to install an Angle bracket and fit a Beam sensor

The installation of the angle bracket and beam sensor are illustrated by steps j to o. Note steps n and

o require setting of adjusters for sensor to face the opposite sensor assembly, which is normally done

during commissioning.

Commissioning information

by Honeywell

Light shield

A light shield is only required to be fitted onto a beam receiver where
direct sunlight or strong light is likely to fall in the path of the ‘beam
receiver’. Where necessary fit the light shield.

Find Beam

Finding the device address of the ‘beam transmitter’ and
‘beam receiver’ on the loop.

Normal indications

Check the operational indications given by the red LEDs on the
beam sensor.

Laser tool

Read the instructions supplied with the recommended laser tool
and roughly align the beam sensor using the tool.

Compatibility

Check the control panel in the system has compatible software for
the S4 beam sensors installed on its loop circuit.

Brackets

If necessary, check the method of adjusting the parallel and angle
brackets.

Select a STATE

Program the required Beam sensor STATE, the factory default
is STATE 0.

Alignment indications

Interpreting the alignment indications given at a beam device.

Align beam sensor pair

Align the ‘beam transmitter’ with ‘beam receiver’.

Time averages

Reading the time averages during beam sensor alignment.

Gain and STATE

Check the Beam STATE selected is applicable.
Check the Gain value after alignment is within the distance range.

Tests

Perform tests on the installed beam sensor pair.

Commissioning tool

Where required, configure the monitored input and working
indication features.

Beam STATES

Determine which Beam sensor STATE is required.

S4 Beam Sensor & brackets

(for Vigilon and Nano Systems)

This document describes how to adjust the
beam sensor using adjusters on the angle or
parallel bracket, align beam sensor pairs and
test the installation.

Transmitter (red retainer) Receiver (black retainer)

A beam sensor pair consist of a:

'beam transmitter' that can be identified by

¨

a red lens retainer and a
'beam receiver' that can be identified by a

¨

black lens retainer.
each sensor is fitted onto a base that is a

¨

part of an angle or parallel bracket.

Compatibility

The S4 Beam Sensor pair are compatible for
use in Vigilon and Nano systems having the
following panel firmware.

Backward Compatibility

An S4 Beam sensor pair can be converted to
be a BACKWARD COMPATIBLE Beam
Sensor pair.

The conversion is done using a Programming
base interface for S4 beam sensor pair, see
section headed 'Backward Compatibility'.

Make adjustments in the X axis and Y axis, using adjusters on the beam sensor
bracket to let the highest Green LED to illuminate. The LEDs update
every 2 seconds, so make small adjustments and wait for the indication to refresh.

How to align a Beam Sensor pair

Overall process to align Beam sensor pair

During the alignment process all the LEDs on the 'beam transmitter' and 'beam receiver' act as a simple level
meter to indicate the ADC bit level. An increase in level causes the intensity of the particular LED to
increase, until the level is enough to turn on the next LED to the right.

The illumination of red LEDs on a beam sensor will indicate the level is either too low or too high and it is
important to carry out a sensor [Auto Gain] after adjustment of the bracket.
