7.3.2 TL100 UV Test Lamp
The General Monitors TL100 Test Lamp is a portable, rechargeable source of ultraviolet
radiation, specifically designed for use in testing UV flame detection systems. It emits a wide
band of radiation and specifically covers the 185 to 260-nanometer region, which corresponds
with the response of most ultraviolet flame detectors.
The Test Lamp is CSA certified intrinsically safe for Class I, Groups C and D and therefore
does not require an explosion-proof housing.
To avoid damaging exposure to ultraviolet radiation, the TL100 provides a Power On indicator
so that direct viewing is not necessary. Insert the charging plug into the receptacle. Complete
recharging takes a minimum of fourteen hours.
7.3.3 TL100 Operating Instructions
The TL100 has two intensity levels, LO and HI as indicated on the rocker switch label. With the
switch in the HI position, the Test Lamp is capable of activating General Monitors’ UV flame
detection systems at distances up to 40 feet (12 meters) from the detector. The LO switch will
activate the system at distances up to 20 feet (6 meters).
To operate the Test Lamp switch, aim it directly at the detector to be tested and activate the
desired intensity level. The ON LED (green) should light, indicating Power On and the Low
Battery LED (red) should remain off, indicating a sufficient charge for normal operation. The
response of the system will depend on the distance from the detector, as well as the sensitivity
and/or time-delay settings at the control module. If the system is operating normally, it will
respond immediately upon activating the TL100. If the TL100 remains ON for the time period
set by the Time Delay adjustment, the flame detector and the control module will go into
ALARM.
If the low battery LED (red) is illuminated, the batteries are nearing discharge; however, there is
a built-in battery reserve of approximately 15 minutes. It is recommended that the batteries be
recharged as soon as possible after this period. Do not allow the unit to remain in a discharged
state.
NOTE
: Recharging the TL100 must be done in a non-hazardous area. Recharging the
batteries is required whenever the Low Battery LED (red) is illuminated. Plug the
charger into a suitable outlet and insert the charging plug into the charging receptacle
located on the back end of the Test Lamp. Fourteen to sixteen hours are required for a
complete charge. Although overcharging for up to twenty-four hours is tolerable, it will
reduce battery life and is not recommended. If the TL100 is not used for an extended
period of time, it is recommended that it be charged bimonthly to prevent excessive
discharge. Batteries may be recharged on an average 500 times.
