Application Dimensions
Beam smoke detectors are ideal for large open areas such as 2.81 in
(71.5 mm)
warehouses, hotel atrium, industrial plants and school gymnasi-
ums. End-to-end beam smoke detectors are particularly useful
where line of sight for the infrared detection path is narrow and

4.88 in (124 mm)

where the building structure employs reflective surfaces.
The EC300 is designed to be aesthetically pleasing making it
equally suitable for modern architectural buildings, as well as his-
torical sites – particularly where ornate ceilings exist.
Smoke stratification may be overcome by mounting pairs of
receivers and transmitters at different heights, one of which will
project an infrared beam below the heat layer and into the smoke 7.99 in (203 mm)
layer. 3.07 in
(78 mm) 6.33 in (161 mm)
Detection time will be longer in a building with a peaked roof if a
fire occurs at the fringes of the protected area. If in doubt conduct
appropriate smoke tests.

(77 mm)
3.03 in
The ideal location and spacing of the detector is critical in a prop-
erly installed and operating fire alarm system. It is recommended
that the detectors be located and spaced in accordance with
NFPA 72, which allows for lateral spacing of up to 60 ft (18.3 m).

Engineering Specification
The projected beam type smoke detector shall be listed to U.L.
268 and shall consist of up to two transmitters, two receivers and
a single low level remote control unit. The detector shall operate
between a range of 16.5 ft. to 393 ft. (5m to 120m). The tempera-
ture range of the system shall be -4°F to 131°F (-20°C to 55°C).
The receiver shall include an integral built-in laser pointer to assist
in optimum alignment.
The beam detector shall feature automatic gain control, which will
compensate for gradual signal deterioration from dirt accumula-
tion on the lenses. The receiver heads shall incorporate a Wide
Field of View to ensure the unit is always receiving maximum signal
available. The system shall include a low level remote display and
control unit with LCD read-out for set-up, reporting and testing of
up to two separate sets of heads. The system shall be capable of
sending separate Trouble and Alarm signals for each of the sets of
heads. The system shall be capable of programming alarm thresh-
olds of 25% to 60% in 1% increments.
The system shall be capable of programming delay to fault and
delay to alarm from 2 seconds to 30 seconds in 1 second incre-
ments.
Test and acceptance of the system shall be carried out by using
the UL/ULC approved internal electronic obscuration fire test. The
projected beam type smoke detector shall be a 4-wire 24 VDC de-
vice to be used with a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory’s
Listed and separately supplied 4- wire control panel. The End to
End beam type smoke detector shall be an EDWARDS EC3000.
