Mounting Brackets
Install a ceiling or wall bracket so that when mounted, the
transmitter/receiver and the reflector will have a clear line
of sight between them.
The ceiling bracket is composed of two parts that should
be assembled with the inside part between the ceiling and
the outside part as shown in Figure 1. The brackets should
be mounted so that the slot in the front of each bracket is
facing the other bracket. Mount the brackets only on solid
structures of the building. To avoid unwanted alarms due
to wall movement, do not mount to flexible walls, such as
sheet metal walls (see Mounting Locations section of the
transmitter/receiver manual for more details).
Notice: This manual should be left with the owner/user of
this equipment.
General Description
The BEAMMMK allows System Sensor reflected beam detec-
tors and reflectors to be mounted to either a vertical wall or
the ceiling. The kit allows for additional alignment range in
cases where the detector and reflector cannot be mounted
within 10° of each other. The kit includes the hardware
necessary to mount either a single transmitter/receiver unit
or a single reflector. (To mount the transmitter/receiver the
surface mount kit, BEAMSMK, must also be used). If the
transmitter/receiver and the reflector require additional
alignment range two kits are required. The kit is not com-
patible with the long-range reflector kit (BEAMLRK).
The kit includes the following parts:

Mounting and Wiring Instructions:
Transmitter/Receiver
The BEAMSMK accessory must be used with the
transmitter/receiver to provide wiring entry. Refer to
Figures 2 through 4 for this step.
1. Read the installation instructions of the beam detector to
determine the appropriate size and number of wires to
be used.
2. Drill the appropriate holes for the flexible conduit using
the drill centers provided on either the sides or the back
of the surface mount base. See Figure 2 for details. Note
that the top of the surface mount base contains mount-
ing bosses for the “L” brackets used in the next step.
Conduit sizes of 1/2″ or 3/4″ are acceptable.
3. Assemble the “L” brackets to the surface mount base
using the two #10-24 × 5/8″ screws and two #10 split-lock
washers provided. See Figure 3 for details. The screws
should be fully tightened.
4. Assemble the “U” bracket to the “L” brackets using
the two #10-24 × 1/2″ screws and fender washers pro-
vided. See Figure 3 for details. The “U” bracket should
be assembled to the “L” brackets so that the words
“DO NOT PAINT” appear in the front of the assembly.
Tighten the screws until almost snug. The assembly
should tilt freely in either direction. The screws will be
fully tightened later when the alignment is performed.
5. Insert the flange of the “U” bracket into the keyed hole
of the wall or ceiling mount bracket. Slide the bracket
forward into position. The surface mount base should
now hang from the bracket.
6. Insert the correct screw and washer combination (either
wall or ceiling mount) through the slot and into the hole
of the mounting bracket flange. Tighten the screw until
almost snug. The assembly should still turn freely in
both directions. The screw will be fully tightened later
when the alignment is performed.
7. Pull the wiring and the flexible conduit through the
drilled hole(s). Attach nut(s) (not included) to conduit
fitting and tighten.
Note: Be sure to leave enough wire to reach the transmitter/
receiver unit when attached to the surface mount
base. Be sure to leave enough flexible conduit so
that the transmitter/receiver unit can be adjusted to
aim at the reflector.
8. Attach the transmitter/receiver unit securely to the base
using the four #8-32 × 1/2″ screws supplied with the
BEAMSMK accessory.
9. Adjust the transmitter/receiver unit so that it is aim-
ing directly at the reflector. Once aimed correctly fully
tighten both vertical and horizontal adjustment screws.

Note: For proper operation of the beam detector it must
be securely mounted to ensure no subsequent move-
ment of the beam detector will occur after the instal-
lation is completed. See “Detector Placement and
Mounting” sections of the beam detector manual for
further details.
10. Complete the installation of the transmitter/receiver
unit using the instructions included with the beam
detector.
11. Test the system as indicated in the beam detector
instructions.
Mounting Instructions: Reflector
Refer to Figure 4 for this step.
1. Assemble the “L” brackets to the reflector using the two
#10-24 × 5/8″ screws, two #10 split-lock washers, and
two #10 locknuts provided. See Figure 4 for details. The
screws should be fully tightened.
2. Assemble the “U” bracket to the “L” brackets using
the two #10-24 × 1/2″ screws and fender washers pro-
vided. See Figure 4 for details. The “U” bracket should
be assembled to the “L” brackets so that the words
“DO NOT PAINT” appear in the front of the assembly.
Tighten the screws until almost snug. The assembly
should tilt freely in either direction. The screws will be
fully tightened later when the alignment is performed.
3. Insert the flange of the “U” bracket into the keyed hole
of the wall or ceiling mount bracket. Slide the bracket
forward into position. The reflector should now hang
from the bracket.
4. Insert the correct screw and washer combination (either
wall or ceiling mount) through the slot and into the hole
of the mounting bracket flange. Tighten the screw until
almost snug. The assembly should still turn freely in
both directions. The screw will be fully tightened later
when the alignment is performed.
5. Adjust the reflector so that it is aiming directly at the
transmitter/receiver unit. Once aimed correctly fully
tighten both vertical and horizontal adjustment screws.
Note: For proper operation of the beam detector the reflec-
tor must be securely mounted to ensure no subse-
quent movement will occur after the installation is
completed. See “Detector Placement and Mounting”
sections of the beam detector manual for further
details.
6. Test the system as indicated in the beam detector
instructions.
