Safety Technology Int STI-9623 Smoke Beam Detector Guard

Product Description

The Safety Technology International STI-9623 is a protective guard designed to shield smoke beam detectors from accidental damage, tampering, and physical impact. Beam-type smoke detectors are sensitive optical devices mounted in open areas of commercial and industrial facilities, making them vulnerable to damage from maintenance work, equipment movement, and deliberate interference. The STI-9623 provides a durable enclosure that maintains detector function while adding a layer of physical protection. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians or qualified electricians as part of a detection system installation or upgrade.

The STI-9623 is suited for commercial and industrial environments where projected-beam smoke detectors are installed in high-bay areas, warehouses, atriums, and large open spaces. These settings often involve overhead work, forklift traffic, and other activities that create risk of accidental detector contact. The guard is designed to fit over existing beam detector housings without obstructing the optical path required for proper smoke detection operation.

Key Features

• Physical protection for smoke beam detectors against impact and tampering
• Designed to maintain full optical performance of the protected detector
• Sold as individual unit for targeted installation needs
• Compact form factor suited to commercial and industrial mounting locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style protective accessory for use with projected-beam smoke detectors in commercial fire detection systems. Verify fitment against the specific beam detector housing dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or qualified electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. Power down the fire alarm control panel zone or place the system in test mode before working on detector components. Confirm that the guard does not obstruct the transmitter or receiver beam path after mounting. Follow the manufacturer data sheet for specific fastening instructions.
