The Fire Beam BLUE
Optical Beam Smoke Detector with Wireless Bluetooth® App Control
The Future In Your Hands
BLUE: Wireless control via Bluetooth® App
With the BLUE you no longer need a controller for each beam head. Using the App you can commission and control every BLUE via your phone or tablet.
One App to Control Them All
With our latest self-aligning motorised beam you no longer need a wired controller for each beam head. Using Bluetooth® technology the App will let you commission and control every Fire Beam BLUE in every building you ever visit, simply using your phone or tablet. The Fire Beam BLUE inherits the same reliability and benefits with an unbeatable range of 160 metres, but is commissioned and controlled using a dedicated App available for both iOS and Android. From your phone or tablet you can now do everything that you would normally have done with a wired controller.
The Fire Beam BLUE comes complete with the head unit, a single reflector, a 3mm allen key and a user manual with all the instructions you need to get the started with the App. The same 160 metre range and motorised head means that you need only use one beam for distances over 100 metres, saving time and money on installation.
No Hard-Wired Controllers Needed
From your phone or tablet you can now do everything that you could do with a controller. We have designed the App to make it intuitive, helping you to understand all the many functions and capabilities of the beam. Easily perform functions such as:
Having no hard-wired controller saves on your installation time by not having to fit controllers or go to the effort of wiring them in. If you have multiple beams it’s even better – just imagine the time savings you could make by not having to wire the controllers into an entire warehouse!
Full Control At Your Fingertips
The Bluetooth® technology used within the Fire Beam BLUE is a game changer for everyone. Simply connect to each beam wirelessly using Bluetooth® technology, meaning you don’t even need a phone signal or an internet connection on-site. The App lets you do everything you would normally do via a wired controller, but with the App it’s much easier and more intuitive to use. Just think how much labour time and expensive materials costs will be saved by not having to install a cable and controller to every beam that you install.

VdS Approved (G221060)
Using the fully VdS approved (G221060) Fire Beam BLUE with a phone or tablet offers exactly the same functionality as a wired low-level controller, but is easier and more intuitive to use. You simply connect to each beam using Bluetooth® technology, so you don’t need a phone signal or even an internet connection.
Enhanced Optics
The BLUE incorporates all the leading features we have honed over the years and with the latest advanced components we have produced a VdS approved (G221060) fully compliant to EN 54-12:2015 beam detector that out performs all other beams on the market.
Multi Language Support
The Fire Beam BLUE has the ability to display seven different languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, and Czech. A feature that is welcomed by our ever increasing international customers as we now sell to over 60 countries around the world.
Fast & Efficient
Our linear stepper motors offer incredibly fast commissioning and routine maintenance. Under test conditions at 40 metres we recorded an auto-align time of 3m02s using the Fire Beam straight out of the box. Once aligned, a routine re-alignment was timed at just 1m07s. This is class-leading performance, not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of advanced robust design built for precise purpose.
