Field Test Spot Thermal Detectors
This field test procedure is not intended to determine the
exact operating temperature of any detector. It is designed to
test functionality only.
To properly perform the following test procedure, the follow-
ing materials will be required:
• Programmable heat gun
• Appropriate source of AC power (or converters)
• Appropriate safety gear (safety glasses, heat resistant hand
protection, etc.)
CAUTION
Do NOT apply any direct flame or other unregulated heat
sources to the detector head as this could damage the
temperature-sensing element. Damage to the tempera-
ture-sensing element in the detector head will result in system
impairment.
CAUTION
This test procedure requires the use of test equipment that
can develop hazardous temperatures capable of causing
injury to personnel. Persons conducting the testing must read
and follow all safety rules that are included in the Operating
Manual for the particular heat gun being used prior to begin-
ning this test procedure.
CAUTION
This test procedure requires personnel to work around
potential hazardous temperatures and voltages. Ensure all
equipment, around the detectors to be tested, is de-energized
and properly locked-out prior to beginning this test procedure.
