FFE Fireray 5000 Controller, UL,FM (5000-003)

The FFE Fireray 5000 Controller (5000-003) is the UL/FM version of the low-level System Controller for the Fireray 5000 motorised, auto-aligning reflective beam smoke detector. It is mounted at an accessible height and connects to up to two Fireray 5000 detector heads over a 2-wire interface.

The controller has two pairs of fire and fault relays, one pair for each detector, for connection to the fire alarm system. It is used to start laser alignment and Auto-Align, set sensitivity and delays, and view the event log. It has 20mm cable gland knockouts for wiring.

Key features

• Supports up to 2 detectors per System Controller
• Separate fire and fault relays for each detector
• 2-wire interface from System Controller to detector
• Starts the detector integral laser and Auto-Align
• Programmable sensitivity and fire thresholds
• Logs the 50 most recent events per detector
• 20mm cable gland knockouts
• UL/FM version; Fireray 5000 approvals include EN54-12 and UL268
