On-Site Flame/Thermal Testing
The standard method of testing flame detection is to use a (EN54-TF5), (330mm x 330mm x 50mm
(13” x 13” x 2”) test pan with 500ml (1.06 US Pints) of fuel) as a target flame source.
When ignited, flames from such a target placed within the working range of a detector should be
detected within 30 seconds of the establishment of the flame.
Due to the high temperatures involved such a test is also suitable for testing high temperature
detection offered by the FireVu Multidetector.
However, such tests carry a high level of risks, and in some sites may not be possible at all.
Consequently, careful thought and planning must be undertaken before considering carrying out
on-site flame testing.
Using Telnet to Simulate Smoke/Flame/Thermal Detection
A useful means exists for testing FireVu detectors which can be carried out either locally or
remotely, without having to perform on-site smoke/flame or thermal tests.
Using Telnet client software connect to the FireVu detector using the command :
OPEN (IP ADDRESS OF FIREVU DETECTOR)
If a Telnet password has been set (recommended the detector will prompt for the Telnet username
and password
Once the valid credentials have been entered the Detector will respond with :
This engineering server will execute engineering and configuration commands
There are limited line editing capabilities. If the command is not
recognised, the server will echo what you type. The command parser
will also respond to MCI commands.
To exit type 'quit' or control D
Type 'help' to list the Telnet commands
Type '?' to list the disk commands
Type 'EscM\help' to list the MCI commands
The following prompt will also be displayed :
