The Fire Beam BLUE App Controlled Auto-Aligning Beam Detector (7-70m) (FIREBEAM-BLUE)

The Fire Beam BLUE is an auto-aligning beam smoke detector commissioned from a smartphone app over Bluetooth, removing the need for a hard-wired low-level controller on warehouses, atria and other large open spaces.

The Fire Beam BLUE (FIREBEAM-BLUE) from The Fire Beam Company is a conventional reflective optical beam smoke detector with a motorised, self-aligning head. You commission and control it from a smartphone or tablet over Bluetooth® instead of a wired controller. The app does the same jobs as a low-level controller and doesn't need a phone signal or internet connection. It connects to conventional fire alarm systems, and to analogue addressable systems through additional interface modules.
