line of sight to the transmitter/receiver unit. The maximum tolerance for non-
perpendicular mounting locations is 10°. See Figure 5b. If the reflector cannot 
be mounted within 10° of the transmitter/receiver unit then the multi-mount 
kit (BEAMMMK) or the heavy-duty multi-mount kit (6500-MMK) may be used 
to provide greater angular adjustment of the transmitter/receiver unit. If the 
perpendicular plane of the reflector cannot be mounted within 10° of the op-
tical line of sight then the multi-mount kit can be used for the reflector. See 
BEAMMMK or 6500-MMK instructions. 

To aid in locating the reflector in the alignment mirror at long distances an 
orange, adhesive-backed sheet of paper is provided. Remove the protective 
backing from the orange paper. Temporarily affix the orange paper next to the 
reflector. The location of the paper is not critical. It may be placed anywhere 
near the reflector as long as it not covering the reflective surface of the reflec-
tor. This paper should be removed once the installation is completed.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS FOR SINGLE ENDED BEAM DETECTORS

There must be a permanent clear line of vision between the detector and the 
reflector. Reflective objects must not be near the line of vision between the 
detector and reflector. Reflective objects too near to the line of sight can reflect 
the light beam from the transmitter to the receiver. If this occurs, the detector 
will not be able to distinguish these reflections from those of the reflector and 
the protected space will be compromised. Reflective objects such as ductwork 
or windows should be a minimum of 15 inches (38.1 cm) from the path of the 
beam. In cases where reflective objects cannot be avoided, the complete re-
flector blockage test can be used to determine if the installation is acceptable. 
See Testing and Maintenance Section of this manual.

Light sources of extreme intensity such as sunlight and halogen lamps, if di-
rected at the receiver, can cause a dramatic signal change resulting in fault 
and alarm signals. To prevent this problem direct sunlight into the trans-
mitter/receiver unit should be avoided. There should be a minimum of 10° 
between the pathway of the light source and detector and the line of sight 
between detector and reflector.

Operation of the detector through panes of glass should be avoided. Since 
single ended beam detectors operate on a reflection principle, a pane of glass 
perpendicular to the line of sight between the detector and the reflector can 
reflect the light beam from the transmitter to the receiver. If this occurs, the 

detector will not be able to distinguish these reflections from those of the re-
flector and the protected space will be compromised. 

Panes of glass will also absorb some of the light as it passes through it. This 
absorption of light will reduce the acceptable installed distance between the 
detector and the reflector.

In cases where operation through panes of glass cannot be avoided some spe-
cific installation practices can help to minimize the effects of the glass. These 
practices include: avoid penetration of multiple panes of glass, position the 
glass so that it is not perpendicular to the line of sight between the detector 
and the reflector, (A minimum of 10° off perpendicular should be considered), 
and make certain that the glass is smooth, clear and mounted securely. The 
complete reflector blockage test can be used to determine if the installation is 
acceptable. See Testing and Maintenance Section of this manual.

Where high ceilings (in excess of 30 feet or 9.1 meters) are present additional 
beams may be required to detect smoke at lower levels.

WIRING INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Always install all wiring in compliance with the National Electrical Code, and/
or the applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the local au-
thority having jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges and suitable means for strain 
relief should be used. The conductors used to connect beam smoke detectors 
to control panels and accessory devices should be color-coded to reduce the 
likelihood of wiring errors. Improper connections can prevent a system from 
responding properly in the event of a fire.

Installation wire used for the beam detector shall be no smaller than 22 AWG 
(1.0 mm

2

). For best system performance, all wiring should be twisted pair and 

installed in separate grounded conduit. Do NOT mix fire system wiring in the 
same conduit as any other electrical wiring. Shielded cable may be used to 
provide additional protection against electrical interference.

When installing the beam smoke detector in applications where the head 
unit will be mounted to either a wall or the ceiling using the multi-mount kit 
(BEAMMMK) or 6500-SMK flexible conduit will be used. The surface mount 
kit (BEAMSMK) or 6500-SMK and multi-mount kit (BEAMMMK) or 6500-SMK 
must be installed with the cable before wiring the unit, according to the in-
structions supplied with the kit.

When the detector has been mounted over a recessed junction box, all wiring 
should be routed out of the box and behind the detector to the bottom of the 
detector where the terminal blocks are located. When installing the wiring 
in the junction box be sure to leave enough wire in the box to connect to the 
terminal blocks. (Approximately 9˝ (23 cm) of wire outside of the junction box 
will be required for proper installation). All wiring to the detector is done via 
pluggable terminal blocks. In order to properly make electrical connections 
strip approximately 1/4˝ (6 mm) of insulation from the end of the wire, sliding 
the bare end of the wire under the clamping plate screw. 

Figure 6 shows all the wiring connections to the transmitter/receiver unit. 
Figure 7 shows the proper wiring diagram for either Class A or Class B opera-
tion. Figure 8 shows the connections that are necessary when using one of 
the optional remote test stations (RTS451/RTS151 or RTS451KEY/RTS151KEY). 
Figure 9 shows the remote output for alarm indication.

WARNING:  Disable the zone or system before applying power to the beam 

detector to prevent unwanted alarms. When applying power to 
the beam detector before the alignment procedure has been com-
pleted the detector may enter alarm or fault.
