1.4 Product Appearance

1.5 Principle of the Beam Detector

The TX7130 reflective optical beam smoke detector incorporates a light transmitter and the detector
on the same unit. The light path is created by reflecting light emitted from the transmitter off a retro-
reflector, meaning it is reflecting light back to its source with a minimum of scattering, which is
placed opposite the detector.

In a fire, when smoke falls within the path of the beam detector, some of the light is absorbed or
scattered by the smoke particles. This creates a decrease in the received signal, leading to an
increase in optical obscuration. This unit decodes or analysts received signals and compare to the
pre-programmed algorithm stored on the processor. Through this algorithm the detector will decide
whether fire is defined or not and lead to enablement the corresponding relays and LED indicators.
The unit on the operating mode maintaining continually emitting light, care should be taken that the
activities in the space do not obstruct the beam or move the device to avoid false operation of the
detector. Refer to Figure 1.

4.1 Commissioning Preparation

1. Make sure both beam detector and reflective mirror are properly and securely mounted.
2. Make sure that the line of sight is clear and both beam detector and reflective mirror are in
placed with accurate axis angle.
3. Make sure that the suitable numbers of reflective mirror are installed depending on the
distance between detector and mirror.
4. Make sure require Span setting is adjusted through handheld programmer depending on the
distance between the detector and mirror. [Span1:8-20meters; Span2:20-40meters, Span3:40-
70meters, Span4:70-100meters].
5. Wiring should be done correctly.
4.2 Step 1: Entering Commissioning Method
a. Remove the detector cover and power on the device.
b. Place the supplied magnetic tool alongside the Reed Switch [SW1]. After a while the
Green LED [HL2] should turn on steady or blinking, and then take out the magnetic tool to
start the detector auto alignment process.
Note: Keep the line of sight clear between the detector and mirror. Do not disturb the
detector auto alignment process.
4.3 Step 2: Sightline Alignment Procedure
a. The Laser Beam Pointer should turn on automatically. Look through on the reflective
mirror if the laser beam mark at the centre.
b. Once you located the mark, loosen the M4x12 screw and adjust the horizontal or vertical
adjustment wheel until the Laser beam mark at the centre of the mirror. Refer to figure 8.
Note: During the adjustment period the digital display guide indicates number- it is not
indicating the signal intensity. If the number is turn to zero [0] it means the Sightline
Adjustment is not appropriate and more adjustment is required.
4.4 Step 3: Acceptable Adjustment Procedure
a. Adjust the signal intensity through the horizontal or vertical adjustment wheel while the
detector monitor signal intensity through digital display guide, the number is indicating
the signal intensity from 1 to 8. Try to reach number eight [8] to have acceptable
adjustment. However, for long path span number 2 or 3 is acceptable adjustment. Make
sure that the line of sight is clear between the detector and mirror.
Note: If the number display nine [9] it means the setting of the Span is not appropriate.
Power off the detector and re-programmed the appropriate distance between the
detector and mirror through programmer.
b. If Green LED [HL2] steady on, it means that the signal intensity is acceptable.
c. Tighten M4x12 Screw, and then ready to proceed to the next step.
4.5 Step 4: Finalizing Installation
a. Insert the detector cover and screw the 4 sides of the detector.
b. Place the magnetic tool alongside the “(D)” marked.
c. Right after the Green LED [HL2] is turn-off, take out the magnetic tool to allow the
detector exit in commissioning mode and turn to monitoring mode.
Warning: Do not obstruct or interrupt the signal between the detector and mirror.
Note: The Yellow LED [Fault] and Green LED [Alignment] will begin blinking simultaneously
for about 3 seconds then Red LED [Fire] will begin blinking every 3 seconds, indicating
that the beam detector is commissioned.
Keep the detector run for at least 20 seconds then proceed to the next step.
4.6 Step 5: Testing Fire Signal
a. Using supplied Opaque/Translucent materials, cover-on half of the beam detector using
the translucent portion of the material. With less than 30 seconds the Red LED [Fire] will
turn on steady, indicating Fire signal. [The fire alarm relay [HJ1 and HJ2 will latch to
normally close]. Refer to Figure 9.
b. Remove the testing material and cut the power off for at least 2 seconds to reset the
detector.

4.7 Step 6: Testing Fault Signal

a. Using supplied Opaque/Translucent materials, cover-on the half of the beam using the
opaque portion of the material. Right after the Yellow LED [Fault] turn on, indicating the
fault signal. [The fault alarm relay GZ1 and GZ2] will latch to normally close]. Refer to
Figure 13.
Note:
1. If the opaque material is taken out from the detector in less than 15 seconds, then
the detector automatically reset to normal status.
2. If the opaque material is not taken out from the detector and is maintained for
more than 15 seconds then a fire signal is registered, turn-off the power for at least
2 seconds to reset the detector.

5 Other Function

Automatic Compensation of Light

When dust exists in the working environment of the detector, the emitting window, receiving window
and reflector will be covered with dust, which will affect normal operation. In order to solve the
problem, we designed the function of automatic compensation of light. When there is dust on
windows, the detector can judge the amount of dust, and compensate the received signal through
internal program and circuit to ensure the detector can continue to work normally. The detector
gives fault signal when dust on the lens and reflector surface reaches a certain level and light
compensation reaches the limit for the detector to work normally.

Self-diagnosis on Optical Signal

The detector has functions of checking emitting, receiving and amplifying circuit. When there is fault
with these three parts of circuit during operation, the detector will generate fault information.

9.1 Limitation of Beam Detectors

The beam detector is designed for triggering and initiating emergency fire equipment’s; however it
only functions when matching with other equipment’s. Installation of this beam detector must
conform to electrical codes and country standards.

All kinds of smoke detector have restrictions, since fire develops in varies ways and are often
unpredictable in their progression, it is unforeseeable which type of detector will provide the earliest
warning. No types of beam detector can sense every form of fire all the time. Generally speaking,
detectors may not warn you about fire caused by insufficient safety measures, violent explosions,
leaking gas, improper storage of flammable materials like diluents and other safety hazards, arson or
children playing with fire. The alarm of a smoke detector used in high velocity environment will be
delayed due to dilution of smoke by frequent and fast airflow. What’s more, the beam detector has
to be frequently maintained for it is exposed to more dust contamination.

The beam detector cannot last forever. In order to keep the detector working in good condition,
please maintain the equipment continuously according to recommendations from manufacturers
and relative nation codes and laws. Take specific maintenance measures on the basis of different
environments.

Beam detector contains electronic parts. Even though it is made to last for a long period of time,
any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, test your beam detector at least every half-year
according to national codes or laws. Any smoke detectors, fire alarm devices or any other
components of the system must be repaired and/or replaced immediately as they fail.
