GENERAL DESCRIpTION
The BEAMHKR allows the reflector of the reflected beam smoke detectors to
operate in environments prone to the formation of condensation.1 Condensa-
tion forming on the reflector may result in trouble or false alarm conditions.
BEAMHKR will lessen the likelihood of condensation by maintaining the re-
flector at a temperature that is slightly higher than the surrounding air. The
kit requires a 24V power supply. When used with the long-range reflector kit
(BEAMLRK), it is necessary to purchase and install four BEAMHKR kits.

The kit includes the following parts:
Qty. Description
1 Reflector Heater

MOUNTING AND WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insure that the back of the reflector(s) is clean and free of debris.
2. See Figure 1 below (front view) for recommended mounting orientation.

See steps 3 and 4 for additional information.

3. Peel off the protective backing from the back of the heater. This exposes

the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive.

4. Observing proper orientation (see Figure 2), attach the heater to the back

of the reflector as shown. Insure that the four holes in the heater are
aligned with the four small holes on the back of the reflector. In addition,
insure that the heater tab is on the correct side of the reflector, as shown
in Figure 1. Repeat for remaining three reflectors if using BEAMLRK.
