WARNING!
THE LIGHT EMITTED BY THIS DEVICE CAN BE VERY HARMFUL TO THE EYES.
AVOID LOOKING INTO THE LENS WHEN OPERATING THE LAMP!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC RESPONSE TEST
It is recommended that two people perform the testing procedures. One person will operate the test lamp, while the
second person sets up the controllers and observes the response of the system to the test lamp.
The first step in testing a UV/IR system is to place the controller in bypass mode as described in the system manual
to verify sensor response. Follow the operations manual for the controller to place the first detector in bypass and
initiate the manual VI (Visual Integrity) test as described. Now activate the test lamp and direct the centre of the
light beam onto the centre of the window on the IR detector( 0.5" window) from a distance not greater than five feet
from the detector window.
This activation should produce IR counts greater than 20 on the controller’s display for infrared detectors. The
controller should display an ultraviolet detector count that varies from a value greater than 100 to a value less than
50. The variation of UV count is due to the flashing UV source.
If the above tests do not produce the specified results there may be a problem with the system or the batteries in the
lamp may be depleted. All optical surfaces should be cleaned and the test repeated. If the system still does not
respond as specified there may be an electrical problem and a service technician should be contacted immediately.
SYSTEM FIRE RESPONSE
TEST
It is important to verify system response to a fire. System response includes relay and analog output activation. This
test is performed with the controller on-line therefore
it is IMPORTANT to disable all external response devices
and shut-downs
. Utilize the test lamp as described above and verify that the controller outputs become active as
programmed. Carefully verify analog output response and relay response. Remember to enable external response
devices after the test.
BATTERIES
DO NOT OPEN THE LAMP HOUSING OR USE THE RE-CHARGER IN A HAZARDOUS AREA
A 9.6 Vdc battery pack is required and this is located inside the unit. Open the lamp by unscrewing the two halves
of the housing. The included battery packs are rechargeable NiCad types and these may be recharged using the
included re-charger. The charging time is approximately 16 hours per battery pack. To maintain the batteries in
optimum working condition, they should be used as long as they will power the lamp properly before being
recharged.
