FFE Fireray 5000 System (Long Range) (5000-113)

The Fireray 5000 (5000-113) is a motorised, auto-aligning reflective infrared beam smoke detector system from FFE. The detector head combines the infrared transmitter and receiver in one unit and projects a beam to a reflective prism; smoke in the beam path reduces the returned signal and, below a pre-set level, triggers an alarm.

This NF version covers a detector to reflector range of 8m to 100m. Each low-level System Controller supports up to two detectors and provides a pair of fire and fault relays per detector for connection to a conventional fire alarm zone, making it well suited to large, open spaces where point detection would be difficult or costly to install.

Key features

• Integral laser for quick, confident positioning of the reflective prism
• Auto-Align: once coarsely aligned with the laser, the motorised detector steers the beam into the optimum position automatically
• Up to 2 detectors per low-level System Controller, with separate fire and fault relays for each detector
• Contamination compensation
• Programmable sensitivity and fire thresholds
• Logs the 50 most recent events per detector
• 2-wire interface from System Controller to detector
• Easifit first-fix system and 20mm cable gland knockouts on the System Controller
• Approvals include EN54-12 and UL268
