1 Distance and Position Guidelines
These guidelines are recommendations only and it is important that you refer to your appropriate governing
standards at all times.
When positioning your ESP FIREbeam there are important factors that you should consider, mainly what distance
you are covering and the optimal position in the building.
1.1 Distance
The standard ESP FIREbeam is suitable for distances of 5m to 40m to the reflector. If you require 40m to 80m you
will need to use the mid range reflector extension kit. For ranges of 80m to 100m you will require the long range
reflector extension kit.
