Overview
The Beam Smoke Detector is a high-performance, UL-certified reflective optical beam detection system designed for expansive and high-ceiling environments, offering early smoke detection, wide coverage, and simplified installation.
The RE-401BD series represents a modern solution for smoke detection in large open spaces where traditional point detectors are impractical or cost-prohibitive. Available in two models—RE-401BD-50 (5–50 meters) and RE-401BD-100 (5–100 meters)—Ravel detectors combine advanced optical technology with user-friendly features to deliver reliable fire protection in complex environments.

Features
- Compliance and Certification RE-401BD detectors are UL 268 7th Edition certified, meeting thelatest globalstandards for smoke detection performance and safety.
- Early Detection – designed to rapidly detect smoke, providing an early warning of a potential fire
- Wide Coverage – suitable for spaces with high ceilings or expansive open areas where traditional pointdetectors may not be as effective
- Reduced False Alarms – reliable and effective fire detection solution
- Ease of Installation – simpler and more cost effective than deploying a large number of point detectorstocover the same area
- Adaptable – configurable threshold levels to the installation environment.
- Reduced Maintenance – lower overall costs and less disruption to building operations.
