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.
