As with other beam detectors, the Fireray 5000 excels at detecting smoke over large areas in wide indoor spaces: the infrared beam of a single detector spans up to 100m and does not suffer in high-ceiling environments. It has automatic motorised alignment and a low level controller for easy commissioning and maintenance.

The Fireray 5000 allows for two detectors per system controller, with each detector configurable from 8 to 100m and with separate fire and fault relays per detector. Features include integral laser alignment, auto-align fast automatic beam alignment, building movement and contamination compensation. Approved to EN54:12 and UL268, the unit logs the 50 most recent events per detector.
