The Fire Beam Xtra
Optical Beam Smoke Detector with Low-Level Wired Controller
Enhanced Protection
Xtra: with low-level wired controller
The Fire Beam Xtra covers distances up to 70 metres straight out of the box. Add one of our Distance Kits to cover distances up to 160 metres.
The Fire Beam Xtra covers up to 160 metres
Soon after we launched the original Fire Beam it became the professional choice in beam detection. Not wanting to rest on our laurels, our world renowned design team has listened to our customers and created the Fire Beam Xtra. Incorporating many of your suggestions and adding our own new innovations, the Xtra model has further refined this already extraordinary market leader. With enhanced optics you can cover distances up to 160 metres, meaning for distances over 100 metres you no longer need to use two beams, saving both time and money.
The Fire Beam Xtra package comes complete with the head unit, low-level wired controller, a single reflector, a user manual and a 3mm allen key. This will enable you to cover distances up to 70 metres. To cover distances over 70 metres just add one of our Distance Kits to extend the coverage up to 160 metres.
Powerful Optics
The Xtra incorporates all the leading features we have honed over the years and with the latest advanced components we have produced a VdS approved fully compliant to EN 54-12:2015 beam detector that out performs all other beams in the market place.
Multi Language Support
The Fire Beam Xtra 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.
Committed to the Xtra
The Xtra has become the industry favourite and it still has our full support. Even with the launch of the new wireless app-controlled BLUE model, we recognise there will still be some applications where you want to use a wired low-level controller.
The Xtra still allows you to do that and that won’t change. We see both the Xtra and the BLUE as the leading products in our range, each suited to different applications.
