9 Test
Detector SC100 features three important tests in order to provide the highest level of security:
Field Test
- Determining the detection range, sensitivity level and mounting location before
mounting the detector.
Control and Function Test
- Checking the proper mounting and wiring of the detector
before mounting it permanently.
Remote Test
- Checking the proper function, mounting and wiring of the detector at any
time.
Field Test
Before mounting the detector, a field test should be done to determine the detection range, the
detector sensitivity, and the proper mounting locations.
The field test should include the followings:
Visual inspection of the construction of the protected object or surface.
Finding out the existence of irregularities in the construction.
Checking the ambient noise level in the premises by activating the noise LED tool on DIP
switch 4.
Defining the location of each sensor.
Note
For full coverage and the whole test, the items below may be used:
Additional detectors
Electric drill and a 6 mm carbide tipped drill bit
The Test Transmitter SC113 and External Test Transmitter SC115
Follow the steps below to perform the field test:
1.
Locate any irregularity in the construction.
Note
The mortar between bricks and blocks should be considered as irregularities.
2.
Install a detector at one side of the suspected irregularity.
3.
Wire the detector to the power supply and alarm circuit.
4.
Set the detector sensitivity to G
high
.
5.
Drill into the wall at a point equal to the detection radius (R) depending on the construction
type as described in
Table 2-1 Application Settings
on page
.
6.
Check for an alarm.
7.
If an alarm does not occur, assume that the irregularity limits the protection range of the
detector. Drill again closer to the sensor until an alarm occurs and identifies the irregularity.
8.
Take all irregularities into account when spacing detectors. Additional detectors may be
required.
Note
The separation between vault door and the frame may require an additional detector on the
door/close wall to encounter a possible attenuation at this point.
