GENERAL
The model EB6500A is an addressable long range projected beam smoke
detector designed to provide open area protection. It consists of a
combined transmitter/receiver unit and a reflector. Smoke entering the area
between the two components causes a reduction in the signal returned to
the receiver. When the obscuration reaches the alarm threshold, selected
at the transmitter/receiver unit, the detector generates an alarm signal.
Complete blockage of the beam causes a fault signal. Slow changes in
obscuration due to a build up of dirt or dust on the lens of the detector are
compensated for by a micro-controller that continuously monitors the signal
strength and periodically updates the alarm and fault thresholds. When the
self-compensation circuit reaches its limit, the detector generates a fault
signal, indicating the need for service. After local testing is complete, the
yellow LED will blink a pattern to indicate the level of drift compensation
employed during the test (see Blinks Output by Yellow LED table at back of
manual).
The model EB6500SA includes an integral servo controlled calibrated test
filter, which allows automatic remote alarm testing.

APPROVED ACCESSORIES
6500-LRK/BEAMLRK
Long Range Kit comprising three additional 20cm x 20cm reflectors,
which may be mounted in a square with the supplied reflector, permitting
the detector to be used for ranges from 70m to 100m.
6500-MMK/BEAMMMK
Multi-Mounting Kit allowing the EB6500A to be mounted to ceilings, or to
walls where the detector and reflector cannot be mounted within 10° of
one another. One kit mounts either the transmitter/receiver unit or
reflector. If the transmitter/receiver is mounted on the MMK, then the
6500-SMK/BEAMSMK must be used. Note that only a single 20cm x
20cm reflector can be mounted using the MMK: The 6500-LRK/
BEAMLRK is not compatible with the MMK.
6500-SMK/BEAMSMK
Surface Mounting Kit for the transmitter receiver (also used in
combination with the 6500-MMK/BEAMMMK) to give an additional 43mm
depth to assist surface mounting and to permit side entry cabling.
RTS151KEY
Remote test and annunciator accessory that enables the detector to be
tested remotely, providing test and reset functions, it has a Red LED to
indicate alarm conditions (Note: Back-box, if required, needs to be ordered
separately - part number WM2348).
DETECTOR MOUNTING
Location
The EB6500A must be located in accordance with local standards and
guidelines, for example BS5839 part 1. For general information, refer to
the application guide for projected beam smoke detectors available on
request from your supplier.
Mounting Position
Beam detectors require a very stable mounting surface for proper
operation. A surface that moves, shifts, vibrates, or warps over time
may cause false alarm or fault conditions. Initial selection of a proper
mounting surface will eliminate nuisance alarms and fault signals. Mount
the detector on a stable mounting surface such as brick, concrete, a
sturdy load-bearing wall, support column, structural beam, or other
surface that is not expected to experience vibration or movement over
time. DO NOT MOUNT the beam detector on corrugated metal walls,
sheet metal walls, external building sheathing, external siding,
suspended ceilings, steel web trusses, rafters, non-structural beam,
joists, or other such surfaces. The reflector has a much greater
tolerance to movement than the transmitter/receiver, hence in cases
where only one stable mounting surface as defined above can be used,
the transmitter/receiver unit should be mounted to the stable surface.
See specifications for maximum permissible angular misalignment;
movement outside these limits may cause nuisance alarms and faults.
Mounting Considerations
• There must be a permanent clear line of vision between the detector
and the reflector.
• Reflective objects should be a minimum of 380mm from the line of
sight between the detector and reflector to avoid compromise of the
protected area by reflected light.
• Direct sunlight or strong lights into the transmitter/receiver unit
should be avoided. There should be a minimum of 10° between the
paths of the light source and the detector beam.
• Operation of the detector through panes of glass should be avoided
if possible. If it is necessary to pass though glass, the angle between
the beam and glass should be set a minimum of 10° off perpendicular,
and operation through multiple panes should be avoided.
MOUNTING
The transmitter/receiver unit may be mounted directly to the wall, with
rear cable entry. The detector base has four primary mounting holes,
one in each corner of the base. All four holes must be used to provide
secure mounting. In order to mount the detector to the wall, the outer
cover must be removed after unscrewing it’s four retaining screws.

allowing more flexibility for cable entry.
Figure 1: Transmitter/Receiver Wall Mounting
The reflector is mounted directly to the wall using all four of it’s mounting
holes, one in each corner. The reflector must be mounted such that the
plane of the reflector is perpendicular to the optical line of sight to the
transmitter/receiver unit. The maximum tolerance for non-perpendicular
mounting locations is 10°. If this tolerance is not possible, then the 6500-
MMK/BEAMMMK should be used, see 6500-MMK/BEAMMMK
instructions for mounting details.

ADDRESS SELECTION
Set the sensor address (see Figure 6) by using a flat blade screwdriver to
turn the two rotary switches to the left of the main optical assembly,
selecting the desired number between 01 and 159 (Note: The number of
addresses available will be dependent on panel capability, check the
panel documentation for information on this). A breakaway stop on the
Tens rotary switch needs to be removed for panels capable of handling
more than 99 addresses.
SHORT CIRCUIT ISOLATION
The detector includes on-board short circuit isolation. In cases where it is
not desired the isolator can be bypassed using the two shunts on the circuit
board. See Figure 6 for jumper locations. The detector is supplied with the
jumpers fitted and the isolators bypassed.
ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
Warning: When power is initially applied to the detector, before the
alignment procedure has been completed, it may enter fault or alarm. To
prevent unwanted alarms, disable the zone prior to applying power.
The alignment of the EB6500A 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.
Pre-Alignment Checklist
• Ensure that both the detector and reflector are mounted securely to
stable surfaces.
• Ensure that all wiring is correct, and 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 reflectors are used for the installed
distance.
• Ensure that the line of sight between the detector and reflector is
clear and that reflective objects are a minimum of 380mm from the
line of sight.
• Ensure that both the detector and reflector are mounted within their
operational parameters for off axis angles.

• Disable the zone or system to prevent unwanted alarms before
applying power.
• Ensure power to the detector is “ON”.
• Normally, due to the current drain during alignment, only one unit on
a loop should be in alignment mode at any time
Step 1. Coarse Alignment
See figures 6 and 7.
1. Ensure that both of the optics lock-down screws are loosened so
that the optics will move freely.
2. Looking through the alignment mirror at both the alignment gun sight
and reflector simultaneously, locate the position of the reflector in the
optical sight. Note that initially this step will require some practice.
An orange sticky label is supplied, which may be temporarily
mounted next to the reflector to aid initial location if the distance
between the reflector and the detector is large.
3. Once the reflector has been located, begin to adjust both the
horizontal and vertical alignment knobs so that the reflector
becomes centred in the alignment mirror. Caution: If the optics are
incorrectly aligned in this step, it will not be possible to proceed with
the next step.
Note that the coarse alignment procedure will not give accurate
alignment. It is sufficient only as a starting point for the next step. On
completion of the fine adjustment procedure, the alignment gun sight
may not appear to be centred on the reflector.

Step 2. Fine Adjustment
See figures 6 to 8.
1. Ensure that no objects are in the line of sight between the detector
and the reflector.
2. Depress the Alignment switch once. Both the digital display and the
yellow LED should turn on indicating that alignment mode has been
entered. The display should begin reading “- -” signifying an
electronic gain adjustment. After a few moments the display will
indicate a numeric value near 20.
Note: If the display reads “Lo” then the detector is not receiving
enough light from the reflector. Go back and repeat the course
alignment step and verify that the proper number of reflectors is
used for the installed distance. The display will continue to read “Lo”
until the detector receives enough light from the reflector to continue
with the fine adjustment step.
Note: In alignment mode (indicated by the yellow LED and the
numeric display) the sensitivity select and test switches are
disabled.
3. Once the display shows a number, begin adjusting the horizontal and
vertical alignment knobs one at a time to increase signal level on the
display. Continue adjusting each axis one at a time going back and
forth between them until a peak value is indicated. If a value of 90 is
achieved, the detector will reduce it’s electronic gain. This will be
indicated by a “- -” reading on the display. When this happens halt
any further adjustment until the display again reads a numeric value.
This process may occur more than once during the fine adjustment
step.
4. Once satisfied that it is not possible to achieve a higher reading on
the display depress the alignment switch to complete the fine
adjustment step. The digital display readout will turn “OFF” and the
yellow LED will remain “ON”.
5. Ensure that both of the optics lock-down screws are re-tightened.
Note: It may not be possible to achieve a figure close to 90 on the
display during the last adjustment iteration. Each time the figure 90 is
reached the gain is reduced, making it more difficult to achieve high
values. Any number is acceptable, provided it is the highest figure that
can be achieved after the final gain adjustment.
At this time it is sensible to set the sensitivity of the detector using the
sensitivity switch and digital display. See SENSITIVITY SELECTION for
further details.
Step 3. Final Gain Adjustment
See figure 9.
In this step, the detector electronically adjusts its internal gain one final
time. It is necessary to complete this step with the outer housing installed
since the housing will change the amount of light received from the
reflector.
1. Install the outer housing of the detector. The housing is installed by
tightening the four captive screws, one in each corner of the
housing.
Note: The housing contains a gasket seal that protects the detector
circuitry from corrosion and moisture. To ensure that this gasket
performs correctly, it is necessary to tighten all four of the screws
holding the outer housing in place evenly.
2. Remove the protective film from the front surface of the outer
housing. Note that the outer housing may require cleaning if any
residue remains. Use only a soft, damp cloth: Do not use any
solvents.
3. To initiate the final electronic gain adjustment, the reset switch must
be depressed using a small screwdriver or similar tool. Once
depressed the yellow LED will begin to blink. On completion, the
yellow LED will stop blinking and the green LED will begin blinking
(dependant on panel operation), indicating that the gain adjustment
was successful.
Note: Use caution not to block the line of sight between the detector
and reflector in this step.
4. Install the outer aesthetic ring by snapping it onto the outer housing.
Note: If the outer aesthetic ring has been painted ensure that the
paint is completely dry before proceeding with this step.
Step 4. Final Verification
This step is required to ensure the detector has been set up correctly
and will detect smoke at the proper sensitivity level.
1. With the detector functioning (dependant on the operation of the
control panel, this may be indicated by the green LED blinking),
completely block the reflector with a non-reflective opaque material.
After about 30 seconds, the detector should enter either the fault or
alarm condition. If the detector does not enter the fault or alarm
condition, there is a problem with the installation.
2. Complete a sensitivity test of the detector as described in
SENSITIVITY TESTING below.
SENSITIVITY SELECTION
The sensitivity of the detector can be set only when the housing is
removed and the detector is not in the fine adjustment step of the alignment
mode. To enter the selection mode, press the sensitivity button once (see
figure 6). The digital display will illuminate and read the current sensitivity
setting in percent obscuration. Press the sensitivity button again to rotate
to the next setting. Once the required setting is achieved (See table 1), the
detector will exit the sensitivity selection mode if no further switch presses
occur.

Test Failure Checks
If the detector fails either the sensitivity or functional test, several steps
should be taken to determine if the detector is faulty or simply needs to
be re-adjusted, before returning the unit. These steps include:
1. Verify all wiring connections and appropriate power is applied to the
detector.
2. Verify that the optical line of sight is free from obstructions or any
other light sources including reflective objects such as gloss painted
surfaces.
It is imperative that at least 90% of the received light is from the
reflector alone, otherwise sensitivity cannot be assured.
3. Apply the maintenance procedure in this manual. Repeat the test
procedure. If the detector still fails the test procedure proceed with
step 4.
4. Repeat the alignment procedure in this manual. If the alignment
procedure is successful repeat the test procedure. If the detector
still fails the test it should be returned for repair.

MAINTENANCE
Note: Before cleaning the detector, notify the proper authorities that the
smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance, and therefore the
system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system
undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.
1. Carefully clean the outer housing lens face. A damp soft cloth with a
mild soap may be used. Avoid products with solvents or ammonia.
2. Carefully clean the reflector. A damp soft cloth with a mild soap may
be used. Avoid products with solvents or ammonia.
Functional Testing
For periodic maintenance functional testing, the detector can either be
tested using the Calibrated Test Filter method, by using the local test
switch on the transmitter/receiver unit or remotely using the Remote Test
Station.
The Remote Test Station, RTS151KEY, can be used with the EB6500A
beam smoke detector. The wiring diagram to connect the EB6500A/S to the
key is displayed on page 2 of this manual.
The EB6500SA is equipped with an integral sensitivity test feature that
consists of a calibrated test filter attached to a servomotor inside the
detector optics. When a test is initiated using the remote test station or
local test switch the test filter is moved in the pathway of the light beam.
If the correct level of signal reduction is received the detector will enter
alarm. If the proper level of signal reduction was not achieved, indicating
that the sensitivity of the detector is out of tolerance, the detector will
enter the fault condition.
Note: This test should satisfy most local periodic maintenance and
testing requirements.
If the detector fails this test refer to the Test Failure Checks described
above
PAINTING
The outer aesthetic ring may be painted using enamel or acrylic paints
either by brush or spray.
Note: Never paint the flat lens surface of the outer housing.
In addition to the four standard sensitivity selections the detector has two
Acclimate settings. When either of these settings is chosen the detector
will automatically adjust its sensitivity using advanced software
algorithms to select the optimum sensitivity for the environment. The
sensitivity will be continuously adjusted within the ranges specified in the
Chart 1.
Percentage obscuration can be converted to percent per metre
assuming uniform smoke density for the entire length of the beam. Chart
1 converts obscuration to percent per metre for all acceptable sensitivity
settings.
SENSITIVITY TESTING
NOTES:
1. Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector
system is undergoing maintenance, and therefore the system will be
temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing
maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic
maintenance. The sensitivity of the EB6500A may be tested as follows:
Calibrated Test Filter Method
The sensitivity of the detector can be tested using an opaque material
(such as this manual ) to cover the reflector by an amount indicated by
the graduated scale on the reflector, see Figure 10.
1. Verify the sensitivity setting of the detector in % obscuration. See the
Sensitivity Selection section of this manual for sensitivity
determination if sensitivity is unknown.
2. Place the blocking material over the reflector, lining it up with the
graduated marks that are 10 less than the detector setting in %
obscuration. The detector should not alarm or fault. Keep the
material in place for a minimum of 1 minute.
3. Place the blocking material over the reflector lining it up with the
graduated marks that are 10 more than the detector setting in %
obscuration. The detector should enter alarm within 1 minute.
4. The detector can be reset with the reset switch on the detector unit or
remote reset.
