Remember to disable the Detector outputs, as a full functional test includes activating the alarm outputs. A
FSX Fire Sentry Test Lamp must be used for this test (Section 4.3). Point the Test Lamp directly at the front
of the Detector (on axis as much as possible, within a distance of 1 to 25 feet). Activate the Test Lamp by
pressing and holding its pushbutton. While watching the red ALARM LED on the face of the Detector, slowly
move the Test Lamp’s boresight to ensure the Detector receives its full intensity.

(Sections 3.6 and 4.3). The Detector’s
ALARM LED will illuminate, usually within three (3) to ten (10) seconds. Also, the ALARM Relay outputs will
activate and the 4-20 mA analog output will increase to 20 mA (±0.6 mA).
If the Detector does not respond within ten (10) seconds, do the following:
1. Wait thirty (30) seconds before performing another test.
2.
Check the Distance
: verify that the testing distance is between one (1) and fifteen (15) feet from
the FSX Detector(s).
3.
Check Aiming Accuracy
: verify that the proper testing technique (as described above) is followed.
4. Make sure the Test Lamp is either a Model TL-2055X or TL1055X Test Lamp.
