Fire detection solutions specialist, FEE, has launched what is said to be the industry’s first one minute auto-aligning smoke beam detector, Fireray One, which it says ‘promises to make advanced smoke detection more accessible and easier to install’.
It explained: “The new Fireray One beam detector self-aligns in just one minute, and offers a sophisticated solution to those wishing to protect large commercial and public spaces, with a simple, one-person installation process. Achieving such simplicity for the enduser required putting a lot of hard engineering work and knowledge into the detector itself.”
The new detector ‘overcomes common issues such as false alarms caused by building settlement that can compromise safety, and visible units that compromise aesthetics’. FFE experts ‘recognised that both spot detection and standard beam units couldn’t offer sufficient fire protection to a range of infrastructures – including historic and listed buildings, buildings with high ceilings or areas of high condensation, or buildings with large skylights and glass atria’. The Fireray One harnesses patented Light Cancellation technology, which allows installation in places that could be exposed to increased sunlight ‘without the fear of a false alarm’. The detector also has a compact design.
Oliver Burstall, FFE’s MD, commented: “Our experience and understanding of the industry enabled us to develop a smoke beam detector that works for both the end-user and the buildings in which it operates.”
