Read this installation guide because…

beam detectors are different from point detectors

beam detectors need to be aligned, not just installed

all engineers need to understand the alignment process

by following the advice in this guide you will avoid problems and repeated site vists

Read the guide through once in order to understand the steps needed to install and align

correctly. Keep the guide handy to refer to during installation. If you need further advice

or help phone, fax or email the Technical Sales Department at Apollo Fire Detectors.
