Testing with Flame Simulator Model FS-1100
The Flame Simulator Model FS-1100 can be used to simulate exposure of the
detector to a real fire condition. The detector is exposed to radiation at the
required detection level. As a result, the detector will generate a Fire Alarm
signal. See
on page 69 for more information.
Caution:
If the detector is exposed to a flame simulator, the alarm and
accessory relays and 0
–
20mA are activated during the simulation.
Therefore, automatic extinguishing systems and any external devices
which may be activated during this process must be disconnected.
To perform a flame simulator test:
Power up the system and wait up to 60 seconds for the detector to turn to a
normal state. The Power LED turns on.
Aim the SPECTREX Flame Simulator Model FS-1100 at the target point of the
detector (Figure 14), such that the radiation emitted by it is facing directly
towards the detector. (See
on page 69).
Press the operation button once. After few seconds, a successful test shows
the results listed in Table 17.
The detector is now ready for operation.
