FEATURES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The FireSense SS-BEAM1224 is a conventional projected beam smoke sensor. It is uniquely suited for 

protecting open areas with high ceilings where other methods of smoke detection are difficult to install and 

maintain. Alignment is quickly accomplished via an optical sight and a 2-digit signal strength meter incorporated 

into the product.

Listed for operation from -30ºC to 55ºC, the SS-BEAM1224 can be used in open area applications to provide early 

warning in environments where temperature extremes exceed the capability of other types of smoke detection.

The SS-BEAM1224 consists of a transmitter/receiver unit at the head end and a reflector. When smoke enters the 

area between the unit and the reflector, it causes a reduction in the signal and when the smoke level reaches the 

predetermined threshold, an alarm is activated.

The SS-BEAM1224 has four standard sensitivity selections along with two Acclimate settings. When either of the 

two Acclimate settings are selected the detector will automatically adjust its sensitivity using advanced software 

algorithms to select the optimum sensitivity for the specific environment.
