Test Lamps

Some manufacturers claim that their detectors do not need remote testing with an external Test Lamp
because it tests itself. Even though Honeywell Analytics Detectors also perform "through the lens" self-testing
and tests themselves, Honeywell Analytics, in compliance with NFPA 72 codes, has developed portable test
lamps for periodical "end-to-end" testing their Detectors remotely. Some of the most important functions of
the remote test lamp are to ensure the Detector's optical path is not blocked, the Detector is aimed properly at
the fire threat area (that the Detector mounting bracket didn't move or was accidentally bumped by someone),
and the Detectors alarming circuitry and outputs (i.e. relays, 4-to-20 mA, open collectors, etc.) function
properly. Internal Detector testing and window lens cleanliness testing cannot insure the Detector is aimed
properly, that its view of the fire scene has not been blocked by something such as a newly installed pipe or
duct, storage box, parked vehicle, etc., and its alarm outputs are functioning properly.
For calibrated testing, in compliance with NFPA 72 Codes for flame detectors, as manufacturers of the FSX
product line, our calibrated testing using our TL-2055 Test Lamp is as follows. If the FS20X set at Highest
Sensitivity alarms to a fully charged TL-2055 Test Lamp at a distance between 1 and 25 feet, then the FS20X
is in normal operating condition.
WARNING: Use test lamp model TL-1055 in non-hazardous locations only! For
hazardous locations, use model TL-2055 as described below.
