•IMP RTANT N TE: The infrared beam path MUST be kept clear of obstructions at all
times! Failure to comply may result in the system initiating a Fire or Fault signal.
• All installations should comply with local regulations
• For installations approved to UL 268 refer to NFPA 72 for installation guidance. In such
installations, it is advised that the maximum distance of Transmitter and Receiver from the
ceiling must be 10% of the distance between floor and ceiling
• nsure a clear line of sight from Receiver to Transmitter
• Mount on solid surfaces (structural wall or girder) and ensure fixing is rigid
• Position beam as high as possible, but with a minimum distance of 30cm from
Receiver/Transmitter to ceiling
• Mount Receiver and Transmitter directly opposite each other
• Do NOT position where personnel or objects can enter the beam path
• Do NOT install the Transmitter or Receiver in environments where condensation or icing are
likely to occur

• Note 1: This component is the fire resistor. Its value is specified by the Fire Control Panel
manufacturer. For U.S. installations it is typically a short circuit
• ALWAYS use a separate 2-core cable for each Receiver head
• CAUTION: For system monitoring - Do not use looped wire under any terminals. Break wire
run to provide monitoring of connections
• Components not supplied:
• nd Of Line (' OL') component - supplied by Fire Control Panel manufacturer
• Fire Resistor
• After installation, check operation of Fire and Fault connection on Fire Panel
• Apply a voltage of 5V to 40V to ‘ XT RST’ contact for at least 2 seconds to clear a latched
fire condition
• For wiring to other types of Fire Control Panel, or to wire multiple Controllers onto one Zone,
refer to additional installation instructions supplied with the product

• The LAS R in the Receiver head is used to align the Receiver with the Transmitter.
• The LAS R can be activated using the button on the Receiver head whilst in ngineering
Menu, or via the LAS R icon in the NGIN RING M NU as shown below.
• Move the LAS R as close to the Transmitter as possible, by moving the Receiver’s
thumbwheels
• The system will signal Fault while in this mode

10. Manual Fire and Fault Tests
After installation or cleaning, it is recommended that a Manual Fire and Fault test is performed:
Fire Test: Slowly half-cover the Receiver. The Controller will indicate Fire after the Fire Delay
Time.
Uncover the Receiver. The Controller will return to Normal state after approximately 5 seconds.
Fault Test: Completely cover the Receiver taking less than 2 seconds to do so. The Controller
will indicate Fault after the Fault Delay time.
Uncover the Receiver. The Controller will return to Normal state after approximately 5 seconds.
11. Remote Fire Test
The Remote Fire Test allows the user to perform a Fire Test from the System Controller.
The Remote Fire Test is acceptable for Fire Authority Acceptance and Routine Maintenance per
UL 268-5.
Receiver Fire LED Test
The Receiver will signal 'Fire',
the System Controller will stay
Normal.
Press to exit without
performing the test.
Relay / Controller Wiring Test
The System Controller signals
'Fire' to the Fire Control Panel.
Press or to exit.

12. Fire Threshold
This setting is the threshold at which the Receiver will detect a fire. Default factory setting=35%.
(Set for each Receiver).
• Sensitivity can be adjusted in 1% steps by pressing up or down keys
• Press to accept setting
UL268 Fire Threshold Ranges:
EN Approved Sensitivity Ranges:
Distance betweenTransmitter
and Receiver
Fire Threshold Range
5 - 10m (16.4 - 32.8 ft ) 25%
10 - 20m (32.8 - 65.6 ft ) 25 - 30%
20 - 40m (65.6 - 131.2 ft ) 25 - 45%
40 - 60m (131.2 - 196.8 ft ) 35 - 60%
60 - 80m (196.8 - 262.5 ft ) 45 - 60%
80 - 100m (262.5 - 328.1 ft ) 55 - 60%
100 - 120m (328.1 - 393.7 ft ) 60 %
Complies with N54-12 for sensitivity levels between 25% and 35%, with a maximum delay to
fire of 20 seconds

13. Delay To Fire
This setting is the delay the System Controller uses before signalling a FIR condition to the
Fire Control Panel. Default factory setting=10 seconds.
(Set for each Receiver).
14. Delay To Fault
This setting is the delay the System Controller uses before signalling a FAULT condition to the
Fire Control Panel. Default factory setting=10 seconds.
(Set for each Receiver).
15. Latching/Non-Latching Mode
In Latching Mode the system will stay in Fire condition after the fire clears. In Non-Latching
Mode the system will automatically return to normal condition after the fire clears
Default factory setting=Non-Latching (Set for each Receiver).
To clear a latched fire, apply 5-40V to the xternal Reset terminal, enter the passcode, or
power cycle for 20s.
Use to move between icons in
the Receiver Menu, until the graph and bell
icons are shown

The system will automatically compensate for dust build-up by changing the Compensation
Level. However, it is recommended that the Receiver lenses are cleaned periodically with a soft
lint-free cloth.
The system should be isolated from the Fire Control Panel before cleaning takes place. After
cleaning, verify that the system is operating normally by following the Alignment procedure and
the Fire and Fault Tests described in this User Guide.
