Reference Figures 10 through 14 for installation, alignment, and maintenance.

The alignment of the BEAM355/BEAM355S is divided into four steps: coarse 
alignment, fine adjustment, final gain adjustment, and final verification. It is 
necessary for all four steps to be executed properly to ensure proper alignment 
of the product. If the detector and reflector are mounted per Mounting Loca-
tions  and  Mounting  Instructions  sections  of  this  manual  and  the  alignment 
procedures are executed properly, false alarms and nuisance trouble signals 
will be minimized.

PRE-AliGnMEnT chEckliST

 Ensure  that  both  the  detector  and  reflector  are  mounted  securely  to 

• 

stable surfaces.

Ensure that all wiring is correct.

• 

 Ensure  that  terminal  blocks  are  fully  seated  into  their  receptacles  on 

• 

the detector.

  Complete  any  wiring  dressing  to  minimize  movement  to  the  detector 

• 

once the alignment procedure is completed.

  Ensure  that  the  appropriate  number  of  reflectors  are  used  for  the  in-

• 

stalled distance. Distances between 230 and 328 Feet (70 – 100m) require 
additional reflectors (4 total). The BEAMLRK accessory should be used 
in these cases.

 Ensure that the line of sight between the detector and reflector is clear 

• 

and that reflective objects are not too near. See Mounting Instructions 
for more details.

 Ensure  that  both  the  detector  and  reflector  are  mounted  within  their 

• 

operational  parameters  for  off  axis  angles.  See  Mounting  Instructions 
for more details.

 Disable the zone or system to prevent unwanted alarms before applying 

• 

power.

 Ensure power to the detector is “ON”.

• 

 Ensure that the appropriate address is set on the code wheels.

• 

You are now ready to begin the alignment procedure.
