Section 3: Operation
Never point the test lamp at eyes. UV light is invisible and will cause damage with repeated
exposure.
When the test lamp push button is held down, ultraviolet and infrared beams will be produced.
Beams should be directed at the flame detector window/lens. The location of the infrared
component beam will be indicated by a red dot. During fire simulation test, the red dot should be
directed at the IR target sensor of the IR3S and UV/IRS Flame Detectors. It is recommended that two
persons perform the test procedure; one person should operate the test lamp, while the other
observes outputs and responses at controllers and/or fire detector.
External systems should be placed in bypass mode to prevent system alarms and shutdowns while
fire simulated tests are being performed.

3.1 Response test for IR3S flame detectors
Follow the steps below to ensure accurate testing and fire simulation using the test lamp.
Important
When completing a fire simulation, ensure that the external system is in bypass or erroneous
activation of the safety system may occur.
•
Point the test lamp at the detector window, no greater than 20 feet (6.06 meters) from the
detector, as shown in Figure 3-1 , then press and hold the test lamp pushbutton.
•
With the pushbutton held down, direct the IR laser (red dot) at the detector’s target sensor as
shown in
Figure 3-2 . The location of the target sensor will depend on the mounting orientation
of the detector. After the detector time delay has elapsed, the detectors blue LED’s will flash
after which the red LED will be lit (solid). Refer to the detector manual (MAN-0044 or MAN-
0072) for time delay settings.
