How Does it Work?

An advantage of beam detectors is their ability to detect when smoke is scattered over wide areas. This is achieved due to the beam detectors using the obscuration method, which detects fire due to smoke particles obscuring the infra-red light along the sensing path.

When sufficient smoke blocks the infra-red-light beam, reducing the received signal strength by a pre-determined setting, a fire condition is generated. Such detection sensitivity enables the beam to identify a fire before it spreads. Unwanted alarms due to the beam being totally obscured for a short period of time can be filtered out by well-designed products (Hochiki’s beam detectors, for example, use time-based algorithms to distinguish between unwanted obscuration and genuine fire conditions).

Reflective Beam Smoke Detectors are increasingly becoming the specifier’s choice. Reflective Beam Detectors work by combining the transmitter and receiver into one unit and returning the beam via a reflector at the opposite end of the protected space, this allows cabling to a single point and therefore installation time (and cost) is significantly reduced.

Demands and Applications

A number of building types have large open spaces including Warehouses, Leisure Centres, Shopping Centres, Cinemas, Museums, Hotels and Cathedrals. Beam Detection is ideal for these buildings as it has the ability to efficiently cover large areas.

The leisure industry is a rapidly growing industry with new buildings being built and old buildings being refurbished all the time. Due to this growth, there is now an increased demand for fire detection solutions for open spaces.

Leisure centres often have large open spaces, such as sports halls, gyms, galleries, swimming pools and cafés. With so many open spaces, if a fire was to start, it could quickly spread through the building which is why early detection is crucial.
