c.
STD -
Standard Test Mode
d.
MULTI -
Multiple Test Mode
4.
Select Low
Temperature Range by pressing the Temp Range ↕ button,
the LED will light to display selected
Temperature Range:
LOW -
Low Temperature Range (37.8°C-57.2°C)(100°F-135°F)
5.
Press and hold Start Test button for 2 seconds until “Ready” is displayed on
the LCD.
6.
Place the Heat Detector Tester over the detector to be tested, press the outer ring against the ceiling to start
test.
e.
When the test has started a beep will sound, and the test will continue as long as the outer ring makes
contact with the ceiling.
f.
Hold the Heat Detector Tester over the detector until the detector alarms.
7.
Remove the Heat Detector Tester from the detector to stop testing. The Heat Detector Tester will beep twice
when test is stopped, the fan will continue to run for 15 seconds to cool the unit.
If the unit is not removed before set test length (60-90 seconds), the unit beeps twice and the display flashes
between “Error”, and “Timeout” to reflect that test stopped before the detector alarmed.
8.
When testing is complete, turn the Master Power switch off.
9.
The red LED on the detector should light with the green LED flashing when the temperature at the detector
reaches the alarm set point. If the red LED indicator fails to light, check the power to the detector and the
wiring in the detector base.
10. After the detector has given the alarm condition, the detector automatically is reset by the control panel. The
detector can also be reset at the control panel manually. Detectors that fail these tests should be cleaned as
described under MAINTENANCE Section and retested. If the detectors still fail these tests they should be
returned for repair.
! CAUTION
Do not use heat guns used for paint stripping or soldering pipes, as these heat guns
generate sufficient heat to damage the detector. The heat guns should not be used for
testing heat detectors.
