To align the Mircom BEAM200 Intelligent Beam Smoke Detector for optimal performance, follow these steps:
1. Begin by mounting the transmitter/receiver unit and the reflector according to the installation instructions provided in the manual. Ensure that they are securely installed and positioned facing each other.
2. Use the optical gunsight and the 2-digit signal strength meter incorporated into the product to assist with alignment. The optical gunsight helps you visually align the transmitter/receiver unit and the reflector.
3. Adjust the alignment angle to ensure that the light beam is properly directed towards the reflector. The adjustment angle allows for up to ±10 degrees horizontally and vertically for fine-tuning the alignment.
4. Monitor the signal strength indication on the 2-digit display as you adjust the alignment. The goal is to achieve the strongest signal possible between the transmitter/receiver unit and the reflector.
5. Test the alignment by introducing a test filter or smoke into the area between the unit and the reflector. Observe the response of the detector to ensure that it triggers the alarm when the smoke level reaches the predetermined threshold.
6. If needed, you can select from the six field-selectable sensitivity levels to adjust the detector's sensitivity based on the environment and smoke detection requirements.
By following these alignment steps and utilizing the features provided by the Mircom BEAM200 Intelligent Beam Smoke Detector, you can ensure optimal performance and early warning detection in open area applications with high ceilings.
