4.5 Delayed Start
On occasion it may be necessary to test detectors that do
not easily t into the Solo 365 smoke cup or are obstructed
in some way. To allow testing of such detectors or aspirating
smoke detection systems, Solo 365 has the facility to allow
a 20 second delayed start of a test.
• This feature can be activated by pressing the
function button on the front of the unit (Fig. 5)
momentarily (<1 second). The status indicators
will ash orange for 20 seconds allowing time to
reach the detectors/aspirating pipes.
•
The status indicator LEDs will ash fast blue indicating
smoke generation for 20 seconds during which time
Solo 365 should be in proximity to the detector and/or
aspirating sample point.
•
After 20 seconds of smoke generation the unit returns
to idle state and the status indicator ashes slow green.

4.6 Clearing a Detector
Once activated any lingering smoke can be cleared from
the detector using the ‘Clearing mode’. Air is blown around
the detector – clearing any lingering smoke via the vent in
the cup.
1)
After the detector activates lower Solo 365 so the
detector is clear from the cup
2)
The Status Indicator LEDs will ash fast green
3)
Raise the unit over the detector again whilst the
status indicator LEDs are ashing fast green
4)
The Status Indicator LEDs will ash fast white –
indicating clearing mode
After clearing, the unit will return to idle state ready for the
next test.
NOTE:
Clearing mode is not available when using the
delayed start feature.

4.7 Using the LED Torch
In low light levels an LED torch will automatically illuminate
from underneath the cup. This makes for easy alignment
and testing of detectors in dark environments.
Upon alignment and the starting of the test the LED torch
will switch off allowing a clear view of the detector LED
through the cup.
4.8 Manual Purge
A manual purge may be required when the unit has not
been used for a period of time, when in cold conditions, a
new generator has been installed or in the case of a
signicant drop in performance. A manual purge should be
carried out in a well ventilated area as follows:
1)
Hold down the function button continuously,
during this time Solo 365 will attempt to
generate smoke
2)
When smoke has been observed for
approximately ve seconds release the
function button
3)
Solo 365 will return to idle state – ready for
normal use
