FSL100 Series Flame Detectors
Technical Handbook
10.2 Before First Use
The battery is fully charged when leaving the factory, but it should be fitted to the lamp and recharged prior to use.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover (on the top of the test lamp).
2. Fit the battery so that its terminals are making contact with the lamp terminals.
3. Refit the battery cover.
4. Attach the charging unit and charge the battery for
≅
4 hours (6 hours max.).
5. The red LED should be lit during charging, although it may not come on straight
away if the battery is completely discharged.
10.3 Test Lamp Operation
This is usually a two-person operation; one at the detector and one at the controller. In addition you may need additional fire-
watchers while the alarms are inhibited.
1. Inhibit or isolate all affected relay outputs before beginning the test.
2. Aim the test lamp at the flame detector from a distance of
≅
4 m (13 ft).
3. Operate the test lamp for
≅
30 seconds and check that the alarm operated correctly. Do not use the test lamp for longer
than 1 minute continuously
4. Reset the alarm and test the next detector, waiting at least 30 seconds between tests to allow the lamp to cool down.
10.4 Battery Charging and Storage:
1.
The red LED should be lit during charging, although it may not come on immediately if the battery is fully discharged.
2.
Attach the charging unit to the lamp and charge the battery for
≅
4 hours (6 hours max.).
3.
Recharge the battery after prolonged use.
4.
Recharge batteries every 3 months when in storage. Failing to do so will reduce battery life.
5.
Store the test lamp and batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated place.
6.
Do not allow the storage temperature to fall below 4 °C as this will reduce battery life.
Caution
Test outputs will be generated and relays will be activated during Cause and Effect Testing.
Ensure that relay activated output systems (i.e. emergency deluge / sirens etc.) are inhibited or isolated before
starting the test.
Ensure that the system is returned to normal operation once testing is complete
Caution
– WEEE Directive
According to local laws and regulations batteries should be disposed of separately from household waste. Take
them to a collection point designated by local authorities when they are no longer needed.
