2. About the EF-CBD130
2. About the EF-CBD130
The EF-CBD130 reflective beam detector is for use with the Eaton range of
conventional fire systems. Alignment is made easy with a built in laser pointer and
digital display.
The laser pointer is used to mark the exact location where the reflector is to be
installed. Once the reflector is installed the digital display indicates the light intensity
between the detector and the reflector enabling the user to adjust for optimal
alignment
The EF-CBD130 has four adjustable operational ranges of between 8 to 20, 20 to 40,
40 to 70 and 70 to 100 meters beside with three adjustable sensitivity setting ranges
from 2.6dB, 3.8dB and 5.8dB to meet the specific environmental requirement. The
EF-CBD130 works on the principle of reflective infrared beam obscuration. Used in
conjunction with a reflector, it will notify the fire alarm panel when the infrared beam
is obscured by smoke.
The EF-CBD130 is ideal for use high ceiling and wide areas such as warehouses,
large stores, shopping malls, leisure centres, exhibition halls, hotel lobbies, printing
houses, garment factories, museums and prisons, as well as places where slight
smoke particles or corrosive gas exist.

2.3. Product Appearance
2.4. Principle of the Beam Detector
In a fire, when smoke enters the path of the beam detector, some of the light
is absorbed or scattered by the smoke particles. This decreases the received
signal, leading to an increase in optical obscuration. This unit decodes the received
signals and compares to the pre-programmed algorithm stored on the processor.
Through this algorithm the detector will take appropriate action and activate the
corresponding relays and LED indicators.”
To avoid false alarms the detector and reflector should be mounted on a solid
structure, care should be taken to avoid obstructing the path of the beam. Refer to
Figure 1.
In operation mode, the unit continually emits light, care should be taken that the
activities in the space do not obstruct the beam or move the device to avoid false
operation of the detector. Refer to Figure 1.

5.1. Commissioning Preparation
1. Make sure both beam detector and reflector are mounted correctly and
secure.
2. Make sure that there is a clear line of sight between the beam detector and
the reflector and the alignment angle is correct.
3. Make sure that the correct number of reflectors are installed for the distance
covered.
4. Make sure the Span settings are correct for the distance covered, these are
adjusted through the DIP Switch depending on the distance between the
detector and reflector. [Span1:8-20meters; Span2:20-40meters, Span3:40-
70meters, Span4:70-100meters].
5. Confirm cable terminations are correct.
5.2. Step 1: Entering Commissioning Method
A. Remove the detector cover and power on the device.
B. Place the supplied magnetic tool alongside the Reed Switch. After a while
the Green LED [HL1] should turn on steady or blinking, and then take out the
magnetic tool to start the detector auto alignment process.
ote:N Keep the line of sight clear between the detector and reflector. Do not disturb
the detector auto alignment process.
5.3. Step 2: Sightline Alignment Procedure
A. The Laser Beam Pointer should turn on automatically. Look at the reflector
and check to see if the laser is pointing at the centre.
B. Once you have located the mark, loosen the M4x12 screw and adjust the
horizontal or vertical adjustment wheel until the Laser is pointing at centre
of the reflector. Refer to figure 8.
ote:N During the adjustment period the digital display guide indicates a number- it is
not indicating the signal intensity. If the number turns to zero [0] it means the
Sightline Adjustment is not appropriate and more adjustment is required.
5.4. Step 3: Acceptable Adjustment Procedure
A. Adjust the signal intensity through the horizontal or vertical adjustment
wheel monitor the signal intensity through digital display guide, the number
is indicating the signal intensity from 1 to 8. Try to reach number eight [8]
to achieve acceptable adjustment. However, for long path span number 2
or 3 is an acceptable adjustment. Make sure that the line of sight is clear
between the detector and reflector.

6. Other Functions
Automatic Compensation of Light
When dust exists in the working environment of the detector, the emitting window,
receiving window and reflector will be covered with dust, which will affect normal
operation. In order to solve the problem, we designed the function of automatic
compensation of light. When there is dust on windows, the detector can judge the
amount of dust, and compensate the received signal through internal program and
circuit to ensure the detector can continue to work normally. The detector gives fault
signal when dust on the lens and reflector surface reaches a certain level and light
compensation reaches the limit for the detector to work normally.
Self-diagnosis on Optical Signal
The detector has functions of checking emitting, receiving and amplifying circuit.
When there is fault with these three parts of circuit during operation, the detector
will generate fault information.

10. Appendix 1
10.1. Limitation of Beam Detectors
The beam detector is designed for triggering and initiating emergency fire
equipment’s; however, it only functions when configured correctly with other
equipment. Installation of this beam detector must conform to electrical codes and
country standards.
All kinds of smoke detectors have restrictions, since fire develops in various ways
and can often be unpredictable in their progression, it is unforeseeable which type
of detector will provide the earliest warning. No types of beam detector can sense
every form of fire all the time. Generally speaking, detectors may not warn you
about fire caused by insufficient safety measures, violent explosions, leaking gas,
improper storage of flammable materials like diluents and other safety hazards, arson
or children playing with fire. The alarm of a smoke detector used in high velocity
environment will be delayed due to dilution of smoke by frequent and fast airflow.
What’s more, the beam detector has to be frequently maintained for it is exposed to
more dust contamination.
The beam detector cannot last forever. In order to keep the detector working
in good condition, please maintain the equipment continuously according to
recommendations from manufacturers and relative national codes and laws. Take
specific maintenance measures on the basis of different environments.
The beam detector contains electronic parts. Even though it is designed
manufactured to last for a long time, any of these parts could fail at any time.
Therefore, test your beam detector at least every 6 months according to national
codes or laws. Any smoke detectors, fire alarm devices or any other components of
the system must be repaired and/or replaced immediately as they fail.
