The FirePause Reflective Beam Smoke Detector uses an infrared light beam projected from a combined transmitter/receiver unit to a reflector prism on the opposite wall. Smoke entering the beam path attenuates the IR signal, triggering an alarm. A single unit protects a beam length of up to 50 metres, making it ideal for large open spaces where point-type detectors would require excessive numbers of devices.

For optimal safety, commercial extinguishers should be inspected monthly and professionally serviced annually as per strict fire safety standards.
Most dry chemical extinguishers last between 10-12 years if maintained correctly, but the propellant and cylinder integrity must be checked regularly.
