Distance and Position Guidelines
These guidelines are recommendations only and it is important that you refer to your
appropriate governing standards at all times.
When positioning your FIREbeam Xtra there are important factors that you should consider,
mainly what distance you are covering and the optimal position in the building.
Distance
The standard FIREbeam Xtra is suitable for distances of 7m to 70m to the reflector. If you
require 70m to 140m you will need to use the mid-range reflector extension kit. For ranges of
140m to 160m you will require the long-range reflector extension kit.
Note: for distances under 20m, fit the short-range mask (supplied) to the single
reflector.
7 to 70 metres - the standard FIREbeam Xtra
The standard FIREbeam Xtra comes boxed with the head unit, low level controller, one
reflector, short-range mask, 3mm Allen key and quick start installation guide, this should
be used for distances over 7m and up to 70m.
70 to 140 metres - The Standard FIREbeam Xtra + Mid-Range 70 to 140m Kit
For distances of 70 to 140 metres you will need to use the
standard FIREbeam Xtra and a mid-range extension kit
(the mid-range kit comes with a backing plate and 3 extra
reflectors, you will need to add the reflector from the standard
kit to the mid-range kit with the screws provided).
140 to 160 metres - The Standard FIREbeam Xtra + Long-Range 140 to 160m Kit
For distances o
f
140 to 160 metres you will need to use the
standard FIREbeam Xtra and a long-range extension kit
(the long-range kit comes with a backing plate and 8 extra
reflectors, you will need to add the reflector from the
standard kit to the long-range kit with the screws provided).

Position
A roof is considered flat unless the height of the apex is greater than 0.6m. If the roof is flat
the FIREbeam Xtra system can be placed anywhere under the roof between 0.3m and 0.6m
below the roof, up to a maximum height of 40m from the floor.
The FIREbeam Xtra has a detection area of 7.5m either side of the beam. If the roof is
considered to have an apex, place the FIREbeam Xtra system 0.3m to 0.6m down from the
top of the apex, up to a maximum height of 40m from the floor.
The maximum protected area either side of the beam can be extended by 1% for every
degree of roof pitch, see the example below (please check with your local regulations):
NOTE: Careful design consideration should be made when
positioning beams and
r
eflectors in environments that can be
susceptible to condensation i.e. warehouses near to water that
have areas open to the outside environment or that are exposed
t
o quick extreme changes in temperature. To assist with this
problem that can affect all beam detectors we produce an
anti-fog kit comprising of a specially coated reflector and lens
cover. Individual reflectors are also available.

Note: The standard FIREbeam Xtra and range kits can be supplied as anti-fog sets as a
special order.
Installing, Commissioning and Testing
Step 1 - Mounting the Head
Screw the head backing plate to the wall - always try to use as sturdy a location as possible,
such as brick or major structural steels (avoid mounting to outer metal cladding etc). Avoid
mounting the head where direct sunlight can shine directly into the ‘eyes’ of the beam (care
should be taken when mounting in glass atriums). Ambient sunlight will not affect the beam.
A
lso available - Unistrut adapter plate
Use this accessory for easy mounting to
Unistrut fabrication. Holes are pre-drilled to the
correct pitch of the head and conveniently
positioned for use with Unistrut.
A
C
B
D
A 2 knock-outs are provided on both sides. Take care when using drills not to damage
the circuit board. Only punch out with head open and disconnected from power.
B Wire to low level controller using bottom colour coded terminals.
C Wire into system as required (see “Wiring Configuration” on page 7). Ensure that all
wiring is below the level of the front edge of the box.
D Screw in through holes provided outside of the rubber seal.

Connect the head to the base
plate by first plugging in the
connector. Do not force in,
white wires should be
uppermost. Should you
forget to connect this the
controller screen will read
ERROR. To avoid damaging
the detector head never
dangle the front cover
assembly from the ribbon
cable.
IMPORTANT ensure the
connector is this way up.
Screw the head screws
down with the 3mm allen
key provided.
Your wiring should be flush
and not flattened by
tightening down screws.
Step 2 – Mounting the Controller
Important mount the controller at eye level and ensure easy access.
Screw in through holes provided outside of the
rubber seal. Wire to head using colour coded
terminals.
If this connection is not made, “ERROR” will
appear on the controller, this connection can
be checked by reading the resistance across
the black and grey terminals, they will read
110 ohms if OK or 220 ohms if not connected
properly.

2-3-0-2700/ISS2/21.OCT19 7
Wiring Configuration
The output current of the internal control module will need to be set at 22 mA. The output will
also need to be programmed so that it is powered in its normal state. On a control panel
reset the output will need to change state for a minimum period of 5 seconds.
NOTE: You should consult the relevant control panel documentation on how to program this
functionality.
Step 3 – Programming the Analogue Address
The FIREbeam Xtra is programmed via the integral Control Module situated on the main
PCB within the head unit. To program an address, you will require a TCH-B200 Hand Held
Programmer and a PL-3 Programming Lead (both provided separately).
Connect the PL-3 Programming Lead to the TCH-B200 Hand Held Programmer and then to
the blue programming socket on the FIREbeam Xtra Control Module. Refer to the TCH-
B200 Instructions for further details on programming addresses. The programmed address
can be written on the module label in the space provided.

8 2-3-0-2700/ISS2/21.OCT19
Once the unit is programmed connect the head to the
base plate by first plugging in the connector.
Do not force in, white wires should be uppermost.
Should you forget to connect this the controller
screen will read ERROR.
Screw the head screws down with the 3mm Allen
key provided.
Your wiring should be flush and not flattened by
tightening down screws.
Step 4 - Commissioning
Commissioning the FIREbeam Xtra is a simple procedure outlined in the following step by
step explanation.
Stage One - Language and Commissioning Speed
IMPORTANT. Do NOT put the reflector up yet. However, if you are recommissioning the
FIREbeam Xtra COVER it with a non-reflective black cloth or similar.
You cannot commission the FIREbeam Xtra if the reflector can be seen.

2-3-0-2700/ISS2/21.OCT19 9
The first screen you see is English. If you need to change this use the right and left-hand
keys to scroll through languages, when you have found your language press enter to access
the commissioning menu
Note: If you have changed the language the system will continue in your chosen language.
Press enter, and you will now see the commissioning speed screen. In most cases it is
recommended to use fast mode (in normal mode the system uses 3.5mA, in fast mode it
uses 17mA) - if you are commissioning more than one beam at a time and the system cannot
support the extra draw it may be necessary to use normal mode to prevent excessive current
draw.
Fast mode allows x 4 times faster motor response and it may be quicker to commission each
beam in turn. Once commissioning is complete the FIREbeam Xtra will automatically revert
to normal low power mode - (3.5mA).
Use the left and right keys to toggle between fast and normal, the * indicates which mode is
selected. Press the enter key to continue.
Stage Two - Pre-alignment
The next screen is pre-alignment - this is probably the most important part of setting up your
beam. Pre-alignment sets up the amount of power you need for the distance you are
covering and can indicate if you are receiving unwanted reflections from anything else in the
beam path.
Press enter to begin pre-alignment. Remember, no reflector. You will see the screen
below, take a moment to understand what the figures on the screen mean.
Receiver sensitivity (RX Sense) will start by raising to 100% and then the output power (IR
power) will rise to 100%.

NSW 02 9644 7144 QLD 07 3252 5366 VIC 03 9544 2211 WA 08 9349 2972
FIREbeam Xtra User Manual
10 2-3-0-2700/ISS2/21.OCT19
More power will be output than is necessary to cover the distance and these levels will then
be reduced once the auto align process takes place. The air quality figure at this point
should normally stay at 0%. Pre-Align Complete will now be indicated.
Press enter to accept Pre-Alignment and confirm these settings by pressing the right key and
enter into Manual Alignment.
The FIREbeam Xtra is looking for the far wall of the building and in some shorter distance
applications will stop raising the IR Power when it’s sufficient for the distance. In these
cases, you can press Enter to accept the Pre-Alignment then the right key and enter into
Manual Alignment.
CAUTION: If you have not allowed the 50cm radius and the beam encounters an obstruction
this will also stop raising the IR Power and halt the Pre-Alignment as the beam will assume it
has found the far wall.
You will need to identify and move the obstruction or reconsider the positioning of the beam.
You can identify that the beam is obstructed if the right-hand figure (Air Quality) has risen
and is fluctuating between 5%-10%.
Obstructions near the head will disturb the pre-alignment process and care should be taken
to ensure no solid objects are close to the beam path.

Ensure 1m of clear space along the path of the beam
and 500mm from the edges of the reflector.
if the wall you are placing the reflector/s on is shiny or
glass then the reflectors should be placed on a 1meter
piece of non-reflective material like MDF to ensure
correct operation.
Stage Three – Manual Alignment
Once Pre-Alignment is complete you will enter Manual Alignment.
Now place or uncover the reflector.
W
hen you install or uncover the reflector the
r
ight-hand Figure (AQ) will jump up as high as
135%, this clearly shows that the beam can see
t
he reflector and you can press Enter to move to
A
uto Alignment.

If there is a received signal of at least 80 to 100% ideally over 100%, you can move onto the
next stage, Auto Alignment.
If the beam AQ does not rise significantly you
w
ill need to use the Left, Right, Up and Down
keys to move the Eyes of beam onto the
re
f
lector. Once you have targeted the beam
onto the reflecto
r
, the AQ will rise significantly.

In the example below, we can see that the reflector is below the eye line of the beam head,
so in this case you would need to lower the angle of the beam (-Y) until you receive an AQ of
over 100%.

The beam can be moved on both X and Y axis to a maximum 5
degrees using the left (x-), right (x+), up (y+) and down (y-)
keys. Looking at the reflector this will move the beam across
the reflector as shown:
Holding the keys down will quickly scroll through to your desired position, on release of the
button the screen will revert to the actual beam position and can be seen stepping toward the
requested position.
To confirm the beam is seeing the reflector, cover the reflector as this should drop the AQ
and therefore prove the beam is on the reflector.
In the example above moving the y axis
down (y-) results in a greater AQ
Try and achieve as high an AQ as possible,
it must be at least 80 to 100% ideally above
100%. Once you have achieved this you
can move onto Auto Alignment.

Stage Four - Auto-Alignment
Having received an AQ reading of over 100% in manual mode press enter to exit manual and
enter again to go into auto alignment mode.
Auto Alignment is an automatic process that will firstly reduce the RX Sense and IR Power to
accommodate the best settings for beams environment.
The beam will automatically align to the centre of the Reflector, you will notice the X and Y
axis moving as beam moves up, down, left and right to find the centre point.
W
hen finished beam will state Align Complete and pressing Enter to
confirm will show Air Quality 100% Status Normal.

FIREbeam Xtra User Manual
2-3-0-2700/ISS2/21.OCT19 13
CAUTION: This process should take up to 10 Minutes, if the beam does not complete after
this time then look at the X and Y axis to check it has not deviated off the reflector onto an
obstruction. The X and Y figures should be below 1.50 on each axis and would normally be
below 0.90.
If this is not the case, you may need to start the Manual Alignment process again to return
both beam axis to 0.00 and identify and remove the obstruction.
Step 5 - Testing
The FIREbeam Xtra should now be tested for Fire and Fault.
Note: The beam must be tested at the reflector end and not at the beam head. This is to
confirm it is looking at the reflector and completes the commissioning process.
FAULT - Cover the reflector within 1 second with a non-reflective
card to simulate a fault such as a fork-lift truck breaking the path of
the beam. After 10 Seconds the beam should register FAULT and
the Amber light will flash.
FIRE - Cover the reflector slowly up to 70% with a non-reflective card
to simulate a fire such as smoke entering the path of the beam.
After 10 Seconds the beam should register FIRE and the Red light
will flash.
Once you have successfully completed both tests your FIREbeam Xtra is commissioned.
You can now fine tune your beam to suit the environment if needed. Look through the
following menus to see adjustments that can be made.

Screen and Menu Systems
Home Screen
NORMAL
This is the screen you would normally see when the beam is
commissioned.
FIRE
The air quality level has fallen below the fire threshold setting.
If alarm is set to latching and you need to reset from fire press enter to see
this screen and press enter again to reset and return to the normal screen.
This can also be reset by dropping the power to the beam for 5 seconds. If
set to auto reset, it will reset to normal automatically. See the menu
system on the following pages on how to change between auto and
latching if required.
FAULT
The beam path has been fully blocked within 1 second (used when fault
testing in commissioning.
ERROR
No communication with the controller. This could be that the flying lead is
not connected, or that the head is not connected to the controller. This can
be checked by reading the resistance across the black and grey terminals,
if connected it should read 110 ohms, if not connected at one end this will
read 220 ohms.
ALIGN
This screen will appear when the beam is performing a self-alignment,
normally because of building movement.
DIRT
COMP
This is due to the compensation for dirt build up reaching its maximum -
FAULT or FIRE LED may be flashing.

Commission
Press enter to access the ‘Commissioning’ menu and its sub menus.
Pressing right or left changes between normal and fast. It is
recommended in most cases to use fast mode (in normal mode the
system uses 3.5mA, in fast mode it uses 17mA). If you are
commissioning more than one beam at a time and the system cannot
support the extra draw it may be necessary to use normal mode to
prevent excessive current draw. Fast mode allows four times faster
motor response and it may be quicker to commission each beam in
turn. Once commissioning is complete the FIREbeam Xtra will
automatically revert to normal low power mode - (3.5mA).
Pre-Alignment
Press enter here to start pre-alignment. In pre-alignment you should
ALWAYS COVER THE REFLECTOR. Starting at 10% power and
5% receiver sensitivity, the receiver sensitivity will automatically
increase to a maximum of 100% then the output power will increase.
These settings will automatically stop when a received signal strength
reaches 6% - this received signal is the returned strength of the
output signal without a reflector (if no return signal is received the
beam will reach full power and the screen will say Pre-Align -
complete). If you don’t receive high enough output power and
receiver sensitivity readings this will usually be because you are
receiving a reflection from an object nearby - use the left, right, up
and down keys to avoid the obstruction. When happy with your
readings press enter and confirm by pressing the right button, this will
take you to manual alignment - if you wish to abort Pre-Align press
the left button.
Manual Alignment
Press enter to go into manual alignment - NOW THE REFLECTOR
CAN BE PLACED, OR THE COVER CAN BE REMOVED. You
should see a large jump in signal strength. If no jump is seen use the
X and Y keys to locate the reflector (the better the signal strength the
better the beam is aligned) try to achieve a figure of around 100% or
over for optimum auto alignment times. Press enter to okay this and
go to auto alignment.
Auto Alignment
Press enter to start auto-alignment. The beam will calibrate its power
and search for the edges of the reflector – adjusting its power as it
aligns itself onto the reflector. Once it has found all four edges twice
it will then centre itself on the middle of the reflector and the screen
will say align complete. Press enter to return to the home screen. If
you see align aborted this means something has crossed the beam
path of the received signal and the signal has dropped out. Press
back / left to return to auto alignment.

Mode Change
Here we can make changes to how the beam behaves. Press enter
to go into the ‘Mode Change’ menu and access the sub menus.
Threshold - use the right and left keys to increase or decrease the
beams sensitivity. It is factory set at 35% (meaning the received
signal must drop by 35% to trigger the fire relay). This sensitivity
can be adjusted between 25% (sensitive) and 50% (less sensitive).
Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Time to
Fire’.
Time to Fire - you can adjust how long the beam must be in fire
before the fire relay is triggered. This is factory set at 10s, you may
want to increase this if there is something that may momentarily
obscure the beam path (birds/forklift truck etc). This can be adjusted
between 2 and 30 seconds by using the right and left keys. Press
enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Time to Fault’.
Time to Fault - you can adjust the time to fault between 2 and 60
seconds (factory set at 10 seconds). For a beam to go into fault the
beam path must be totally blocked within ONE second. By using the
right and left keys. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down
to go to ‘Auto Reset’).
Auto Reset - the beam is factory set to auto reset when the
received signal raises above the fire threshold hysteresis. This can
be set to latching if your system requires this. Change by using the
right and left keys. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down
to go to ‘Align On/Off’.
Align On/Off - you may want to turn the auto alignment function off,
for example, in an environment that often gets filled with welding
smoke, the auto align function kicks in when the received signal
drops below 90%, the point that the beam automatically checks for
building movement. The beam will try to align through the smoke
which could be a problem if it is unable to see the edges of the
reflector. Use the right and left keys to turn off and on. When
turning this function off extra care should be taken to ensure that the
beam head is on a sturdy fixing, in other words, a brick wall or major
structural steel. Auto alignment will still function in commissioning.
Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go to ‘Align Time’.
Align Time - this is factory set to 4hrs, you can adjust this, by using
the right and left keys, between 0 to 12 hours depending on your
environment. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go
to ‘Green Flashing Light On/Off’.
Green Flashing Light On/Off - you can turn the green flashing
LED, located on the head and controller, on or off using the right and
left keys. This is a useful way of identifying the beam head you are
working with. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down to go
to ‘Phase’.

18 2-3-0-2700/ISS2/21.OCT19
Phase - When using multiple beams that face each other the beam
output signals could phase together and can cause unreliable readings,
by setting each beam to phase differently alleviates this problem. Use
the right and left keys to give each beam a different phase pattern
(length between output beam sample times) you can choose between 0
(default setting) and 6. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or down
to go to ‘Hysteresis’.
Hysteresis - Changing the hysteresis will change the delay in returning
from a fire state back to a normal state. For example, the beam is
factory set at 15% so if the beam falls into fire at 65% (35% threshold) it
must recover 15% to 80% before it returns to normal. This action
prevents small fluctuations in returned signal causing the beam to fall in
and out of a fire state. This can be adjusted between 1% and 40% by
using the right and left keys. Press enter to return to ‘Mode Change’ or
down to go to ‘Comp Fire – Fault’.

Beam Maintenance
Press enter to go into the ‘Beam Maintenance’ menu and access the sub
menus.
Dirt Comp - This screen shows how much the beam has compensated
for dust build-up on the beam head and reflectors, ALWAYS take a note
of this value as part of your routine maintenance to see any build-up
pattern. If you see figures above +50% you should clean both the lens
face and the reflectors (once cleaned, you should instigate an auto
alignment to re-calibrate the beams settings).
It is possible that you may see a negative number here, this can happen
when the FIREbeam Xtra has been commissioned in a ‘dirty’ atmosphere
such as builders’ dust which, once cleared, the beam then compensates
for. To reset, perform an auto alignment to re-calibrate the beam. Press
enter to return to ‘Beam Maintenance’ or down to go to ‘Alarm & Fault
Event Counts’.
Alarm & Fault Event Counts - Here we can see how many times the
beam has gone into fire or fault since the beam was commissioned or
since the event log was last cleared, including testing.
Press enter to clear events.
Press left / back to return to ‘Beam Maintenance’ or down to go to ‘Self
Test’.
Self Test
Press enter to perform a fire test, this works by running a test algorithm to
lower the output power, the receiver sees this as obscuration. When the
received signal drops below the threshold point the beam will trip the fire
