Beam Smoke Detector
OSI-R-SS is a 4-wire conventional reflector-type linear optical beam
smoke detector for use in fire alarm systems. The beam operates
This conventional, single-ended beam smoke detector is primarily on the principle of light obscuration using an infrared

protecting buildings with large open areas with high ceilings such
as a warehouse or atrium. The OSI-R-SS detector is a combined
transmitter/receiver unit that can be directly connected to a
