Fireray® 5000:
Motorised Beam Smoke Detector for Large and Complex Spaces
Your Challenge:
Complex Installations and Unreliable Detection
Protecting large or complex buildings like warehouses, hangars, and atriums from fire presents unique challenges. Traditional point detectors are often impractical and costly to install and maintain. You need a reliable beam smoke detector that ensures complete coverage without causing disruption from false alarms or difficult maintenance routines. The Fireray 5000 is engineered to solve this, providing robust beam detection you can trust.

Technical Details:
Motorised Auto-Alignment and Building Movement Tracking
The Fireray 5000 integrates advanced motorised alignment capabilities, driven by internal servo motors that automate the setup process. During commissioning, the detector swiftly steers the infrared beam to locate the exact centre of the reflective prism, ensuring optimal performance from the outset. Crucially, this technology extends to long-term reliability through dynamic building movement tracking. The system continuously monitors for and compensates for natural structural shifts caused by temperature changes or building settling, making constant, precise adjustments to maintain perfect alignment and prevent nuisance fault conditions.
Low-Level System Controller
A key innovation of the Fireray 5000 is its low-level system controller, which centralises all operational functions to a safe and easily accessible location. This unit provides a comprehensive interface for commissioning, monitoring, and maintenance of up to two separate detector heads. The clear LCD display offers real-time status updates and allows for full Fire and Fault diagnosis without the need for high-level access equipment. Engineers can view event histories, adjust settings, and perform tests, significantly reducing maintenance time and operational costs while improving safety.
Light Cancellation Technology
To ensure dependable detection and minimise false alarms, the Fireray 5000 employs sophisticated Light Cancellation Technology. The system’s advanced algorithms are engineered to differentiate between the signal reduction caused by real smoke and interference from other sources in the environment. It effectively filters out high-frequency light from sources such as sunlight, fluorescent lighting, and sodium lamps, focusing only on genuine obscuration events. This makes the beam smoke detector highly resilient to environmental conditions that can trigger false alarms in other systems.
