1. 9 7 Installation precautions The following precautions are necessary when installing beam detectors In a room where an air inlet is positioned in the ceiling the beam detector should be placed near to the air inlet Select an appropriate installation place where the detector is unaffected by air being drawn into a ventilated opening gt The distance between the receiver and the wall immediately behind the receiver should be less than 7 5m 2 3 0 294 1ss2 Feb2001 Hochiki SPB ET Beam Detector User M anual 34 If more than one detector is installed they must be positioned in such a manner that they cannot affect each other s operation The detector should be positioned such that a shutter or hanging wall will not affect it The detector should be positioned such that it will be unaffected by moving objects The detector should not be installed in a rooftop or place where open air circulates The detector should be installed where the distance between top and bottom of the space is greater than 0 5m The monitoring distance between the emitter and receiver is 5m to 100m and the maximum distance of coverage between the line of the beam is 7 5m Therefore the maximum area of coverage is 1500m If there is a probability of people walking in the area of the beam then the beam detector should be installed at least 2 7m from the floor The beam detector should not be installed at a height greater than 25m unless2. gt The control panel is incompatible with the interface PCB 2 3 0 294 1ss2 Feb2001 Hochiki SPB ET Beam Detector User M anual 29 gt The interface PCB is defective 8 8 Detector in fault panel not registering condition gt The control panel is incompatible with the interface PCB The interface PCB is defective gt The interface fault monitoring jumpers have been incorrectly set Verify the fault monitoring function of the control panel 9 Installation guide lines The Hochiki SPB ET beam detector must be installed according to the requirements laid out in national or local standards The following guidelines for installation are provided to give information in certain installation conditions where no advice or regulations are provided by the relevant standard 9 1 General installation conditions Figure 12 relates to the typical installation condition i e in a long straight area and details the siting positions of the beam detector Ceiling H ceiling height h mounting height I1 2side wall distance 12 back wall distance P distance between optical axes L distance between Emitter Receiver If H 15m then use beam detectors at locations 1 and 2 If H gt 15m then beam detectors should be mounted at locations 1 2 3 4 and 5 2 3 0 294 1ss2 Feb2001 Hochiki SPB ET Beam Detector User M anual 30 For Detectors at 1 and 2 For detectors at 3 4 and 5 h 0 8H h H 2 I1 lt 7m l1
