Beam me up

Over 100 FireRay 5000 advanced wide-area beam detectors have been installed in hypermarket chain Kaufland's major logistics centre in Turda, Romania. The detector system, manufactured by Fire Fighting Enterprises, is designed to make reflective infrared beam smoke detection as reliable and simple to install and maintain as possible.

The logistics centre's storage halls, loading bays and cold room areas all benefit from the large area coverage of the FireRay 5000, which is specifically designed to protect such spacious indoor areas from fire risks. One single FireRay 5000 system, comprised of a low level controller, wall-mounted transceiver 'head' unit and reflective prism, can cover up to 1500m2 - an area that would need around 15 'point' detectors to safely protect.
