NOTES:
•
Always make sure that the ITES Test Lamp has fresh batteries.
•
Keep the Test Lamp lens free from dust, dirt, and moisture. If necessary, clean the lens with a soft wool or cotton
cloth.
Automatic Testing
If the lens becomes dirty or coated, a change in radiation transmissibility could reduce the detector’s sensitivit
y. To
safeguard against this, the IPES
‐
IR3 continuously tests the lens for optical clarity and sends a Fault alarm when the
radiation transmissibility reaches a critical threshold.
In addition, the sensors are routinely tested every 25 to 45 minutes by use of internal test lamps. If the IPES
‐
IR3 does not
pass the self
‐
test, a Fault alarm is sent. This routine test does not require the use of an external ITES Test Lamp.
