F-Guard IR3 HD User Manual

1.5.5 Flame Simulator

The F-Guard-IR3-HD may be tested using the

-Guard

-FSIM-IR3-KIT. The F-Guard flame

simulator family provides a fast and

convenient means of periodically testing the

detector and control system end-to-end.

Maintenance costs can be reduced as the

detectors can be tested in situ without

needing a hot work permit.

F-Guard Flame Simulators emit IR radiation

in a special electromagnetic radiation pattern

which simulates a fire to the detectors. The

simulators are lightweight, easy to use, with

testing distances of up to 23 ft. (7m) and

capable of more than 1000 activations

between battery charging. F-Guard Flame

Simulators are ATEX approved for use in

hazardous Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, Zone 22

areas.

Each simulator kit contains a carrying case,

simulator, carrying strap, battery charger,

user manual, Allen key and a tool for

removing the simulator rear cover.
