Safety Technology Int'l Inc STI-9706 Smoke Beam Guard

Product Description

The SAFETY TECHNOLOGY INT'L INC STI-9706 is a protective guard designed to shield projected-beam smoke detectors from accidental impact, tampering, and environmental damage. Beam-type smoke detectors rely on a clear line of sight between transmitter and receiver, making physical protection critical in high-traffic or industrial environments. The STI-9706 fits over the detector head to maintain sensor alignment and reduce false-alarm events caused by mechanical disturbance. Fire alarm technicians and life-safety contractors install this guard as part of a complete beam detector installation or as an add-on protective measure on existing systems.

The STI-9706 is suited for use in commercial and industrial settings where projected-beam smoke detectors are mounted in areas exposed to forklifts, maintenance activity, or other physical hazards. It is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit applications, providing a low-cost protective layer that helps preserve detector calibration and reduce service calls related to physical damage.

Key Features

• Protective guard housing for projected-beam smoke detector heads
• Helps maintain transmitter-to-receiver alignment in high-traffic environments
• Reduces risk of accidental impact damage and deliberate tampering
• Designed for commercial and industrial fire alarm system installations
• Sold as a single unit for targeted protection where needed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style protective guard for projected-beam smoke detectors used in commercial and industrial fire alarm systems. Verify dimensional fit against your specific detector model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. Power down or place the fire alarm control panel in test mode before servicing any detector or associated hardware. Confirm that the guard does not obstruct the beam path between the transmitter and receiver after mounting. Retest beam alignment and detector sensitivity following installation to verify proper system operation.
