Technical Handbook
6 Commissioning and Testing
Notes:
1.
Commissioning, maintenance and functional testing of Honeywell Fire Detection systems must only be carried out by
qualified Honeywell approved persons or qualified persons trained in accordance with this manual.
2.
All local laws and regulations for the commissioning and the cabling apply, including law and regulations for activating
alarm systems, extinguishing systems and other outputs.
3.
For hazardous area applications appropriate regulations shall be followed.
4.
The IR sensors can become saturated if exposed to high ambient IR radiation, so ensure that the FSL100 detectors are
shielded from potential sources such as boilers, radiators and IR lamps. The FSL100 detector returns to normal within 10
seconds once the IR source is removed.
6.1 Commissioning
Carry out the following steps before the flame detector is activated for the first time and in conjunction with the associated
Controller or PLC’s Technical Manual:
1.
Satisfy yourself that the chosen FSL100 is the correct choice for this situation, location and controller.
2.
Clean the FSL100 window using a microfiber glass cloth or optical wipe.
3.
Check the terminals, seals and cable gland, and then close and secure the FSL100 housing.
4.
Check position and alignment.
5.
Check if there are potential false alarm sources in the field of view and shield if necessary.
6.
Thoroughly tighten the cable gland and all fasteners.
7.
Check the cabling in between the FSL100 and the controller.
8.
Check the controller is electrically safe (isolator, protective earth (ground) etc.)
9.
Check the cable screening is correctly bonded to the controller.
10. Check that armoured conduit is earthed (grounded) but isolated from the cable screen.
11. Test the manual self-test by shorting FSL100 terminals 1 & 14 for approximately 5 seconds.
12. Perform a functional test with the FSL100-TL or FSL100-TLX test lamp even if the manual test was ok.
13. If satisfied, and when all detectors are commissioned and tested, set the Controller or PLC to normal operation.
Caution
Always ensure that relay operated outputs and alarms are inhibited or isolated before carrying out any work on
Alarm systems.
Always ensure that Alarm Systems are returned to Normal Operation when work is completed.
