Introduction
The TBD-8100 Beam Detector is comprised of an optical transmitter and a receiver
within the same device.
The transmitter sends out an invisible infrared beam, which is reflected by a prism
mirror; the mirror is placed on the opposite wall, facing the transmitter in a manner that
nothing blocks the beam’s path from one side to the other. The optical receiver monitors
the intensity of the reflected beam.
The detector can detect up to 9 meters on each side, 18 meters altogether.
The TDB-8100 detectors can be installed at three distance ranges:
8 to 50 meters (one prism)
50 to 75 meters (two prisms)
75 to 100 meters (four prisms)

Installation
Planning of quantity and location of detectors shall be done according to the local codes
and regulations and in accordance to the planning consultant's requirements.
i
Note
Notify the operator or the security personnel that the system will be temporary
disconnected before adding devices to the control panel.
All connections shall be done when power sources are disconnected.

Pre-installation planning
3.1.1 Cabling Planning
– Wire Characteristics' Effect
Cable type selection and wiring shall be done according to local regulations.
System connections shall be done when power sources are disconnected.
Changing/installing electric activation modules shall be done after the system is in
quiescence state (push buttons and detectors in normal state).
The following table shows the effect of wiring characteristics on system performance:
