7. Setting the address:
The Beam Detector System requires two addresses per device:
- One address for the device and the “first” head. This address will also be the one associated with the address switch.
- One address for the second head on the device reporting to the system.
Both of the addresses for one same device must be added consecutively when programming the job. However, each head can be programmed for a
separate point type, either “fire”, “latched supervisory”, or “utility”.
Note: A warning pop-up will appear with the notification that the device requires more than one address, prompting you to click Yes if you wish to
continue. You must click on Yes in order to install the device.

Panel Operation
Each device head will appear on the FACP as an IDNet BEAM device type.
Since there are no trouble or alarm conditions specific to the system controller, all information can be reported against one of the heads. When the
Beam Detector controller is physically missing or has failed, each head will have a “no answer” trouble for a total of up to two troubles.
The following operations can be performed from the FACP:
