Single-Ended, Reflector-Type
Addressable Beam Smoke Detector

GENERAL
The Notifier FSB-200 and FSB-200S are intelligent,
addressable reflected beam smoke detectors for protecting
open areas with high and sloping ceilings, and wide-open
areas, where spot-type smoke detectors are difficult to install
and maintain. Ideal applications are atriums, cathedral
ceilings, aircraft hangars, warehouses, sporting arenas,
concert halls, and enclosed parking facilities. They are
compatible with the NFS-3030, NFS2-3030, NFS-640, NFS2-
640, and NFS-320 in FlashScan® or CLIP mode, as well as
legacy addressable panels. Installation of the single-ended
reflective design is much quicker than a dual-ended projected
beam detector. Alignment is easily accomplished with an
optical sight and a two-digit signal strength meter incorporated
into the beam detector. Listed for operation from –22°F to
131°F, the FSB-200 and FSB-200S are usable in open area
applications where temperature extremes exceed the design
limits of other types of smoke detection.
The FSB-200 and FSB-200S are a transmitter/receiver unit
and a reflector. When smoke enters the area between the unit
and the reflector it causes a reduction in the signal strength.
When the smoke level (signal strength) reaches the
predetermined threshold, an alarm is activated. The detectors
have four standard sensitivity selections as well as two
Acclimate® settings. When either Acclimate® setting is
selected, the detector’s advanced software algorithms
automatically adjust to the optimum sensitivity for the specific
environment.
The FSB-200S has an integral sensitivity test feature of a filter
attached to a servomotor inside the detector optics. Activation
of the RTS151 or RTS151KEY remote test stations moves the
filter into the pathway of the light beam, testing the detector’s
sensitivity. This sensitivity test feature allows the user to
quickly and easily meet the annual maintenance and test
requirements of NFPA 72, without physical access to the
detector. The servomotor must be powered by +24 VDC, not
SLC power.
FEATURES
• Listed to UL 268, ULC CAN/ULC S529.
• Transmitter/receiver built into same unit.
• Six user-selectable sensitivity levels.
• 16' to 328' (use BEAMLRK beyond 230') protection range.
• Removable plug-in terminal blocks.
• Digital display — no special tools required.
• Built-in automatic gain control compensates for signal dete-
rioration from dust buildup.
