SECTION 2: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1
Basic
Response
Test
It is recommended that two persons perform the testing procedure. One should operate the Test Lamp,
while the other set up the controllers and or Fire Detector to observe the response of the system to the
Test Lamp.
The first step in testing a UV/IR system is to place the controller in bypass mode. Activate the Test Lamp
by pressing the magnetic push button switch and direct the centre of the beam to the window of the
detector from a distance not greater than five feet. Observe the current output and/ or changing of state of
the controller relay. When the Fire Detector fully detects the beam from the Test Lamp a current output
20 mA will be observed and the state of the controller’s alarm relay will change.
If using a UV/IR stand alone detector, measure the current output and observe the Red LED. Monitor
changes in the state of unit’s alarm relay, if a relayed unit is being used. When the Fire Detector fully
detects the beam from the Test Lamp, a current output of 20 mA will be seen for Analog units and the
state of the alarm relay will change for Relayed units. The Red LED will flash to indicate the simulated
fire.
If the above test does not produce desired results (20 mA output current or change in the state of the
Alarm relay), there may be a problem with the wiring or the battery pack inside the Test Lamp enclosure
may be depleted. Clean all optical surfaces, recharge the battery if necessary and repeat the test. Contact
the manufacturer immediately, if the Fire Detector still does not respond.
2.2
System
Response
Test
It is important to verify system response to a fire. System response includes relay and analog output
activation. This test is performed with the controller on-line, therefore it is important to disable all
external response devices and shut-downs. Utilize the Test Lamp as described above and verify that the
controller outputs become active as programmed. Carefully verify analog output response and relay
response. Remember to enable the external response devices after the test.
2.3
Troubleshoot
The Test Lamp is not designed to be repaired in the field. If the detector does not respond to the Test
Lamp as described, check the batteries and charge or replace as necessary. If the problem persists please
contact our service department to try and resolve the issue over the phone. If the issue cannot be solved
over the phone, the Test Lamp may have to be returned to the factory for repair. Refer to “How to Return
Equipment”.
