Figure 3-3: UV/IRS Flame Detector Window
3.3 Response test for UVS 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.
•
To simulate a fire condition, press and hold test lamp push button beyond the duration of the
detector time delay. The detector Red LED will flash after time delay duration is passed, to
indicate a fire condition. See detector manual (MAN-0039 or MAN-0086) for time delay settings
•
For analog and analog-Hart model detectors, the signal output (20mA) can be measured using a
current measuring device placed in the analog loop or across the meter test jacks inside the
junction box.
• For relay model detectors, changes in fire alarm relay status may be monitored at the detector
relay terminals or panel.
•
After a successful fire simulation, release the test lamp pushbutton and discontinue external
system bypass (return external system to normal operating mode).
