1.2 Location
When installed beneath a flat ceiling (where the level of the high part of the ceiling is not
60-cm higher than its lower part), the FireBeam detector can be installed at a level of 30-
60cm below the highest point on the ceiling, at a level up to up to 40-m from the floor.
The detection area is up to 7.5-m on both sides of the beam.
If the ceiling is sloped, install the detector 30-60cm beneath the highest point on the
ceiling. The beam width will be extended by 1% for each degree of ceiling slope.
Install the detector on a solid and stable structure.
Install the detector at a level of 2.7-m minimum from the floor, to prevent the passage of
people and equipment through the beam.
Also take into account the traffic of vehicles (forklift trucks) through the beam, as
relevant.
The detector location and installation distances will comply with these technical
instructions or Israeli Standard IS 1220, part 3, the stricter of the two.
!
Warning
Prevent solar radiation from directly entering the detector

Installation
2.1 Installation of the detector head
Determine the location of detector installation. It is important to install it on a stable wall
at a level of 30-60-cm beneath the ceiling and at a distance of 50-cm minimum from an
adjacent wall.
Ensure a direct line of sight between the detector and point where the prism that refracts
the beam is installed.
