FlameGard 5 UV/IR Test Lamp
The FlameGard 5 Test Lamp is a battery operated, rechargeable, test source specifically
designed to test MSA's UV, UV/IR, and Digital Frequency IR Flame Detection Systems. It
consists of a high-energy broad band radiation source which emits sufficient energy in both
the Ultraviolet and Infrared spectra to activate UV and/or IR detectors. To simulate a fire,
the test lamp automatically flashes at one of three DIP switch selectable rates. The
FlameGard 5 Test Lamp, rated explosion-proof, is CSA certified for use in Class I, Division
1, Groups 2 C and D areas. The test lamp operates on internal lead-acid batteries which,
when fully charged, will operate continuously for 25 to 30 minutes. An internal circuit will
prevent operation when the batteries are low.
FlameGard 5 Test Lamp Operating Instructions
It is always important to start a series of FlameGard 5 Test Lamp checks with a fully
charged unit. Stand within 20 feet of the unit to be tested and aim the FlameGard 5 Test
Lamp squarely into the detector face. Shaking the lamp from side to side or up and down
will increase the simulation of flame flicker, and improve the response of the flame detector
to the lamp. If the system is operating normally, the detector will go into a WARNING
condition after a few flashes of the Test Lamp. If the lamp remains ON for the time-
delayed period of the DIP switch setting, the detector will go into ALARM. To conserve
charge, do not operate the Test Lamp longer than is necessary to test each detector.
When the battery level drops below the level required maintaining the proper intensity of
the lamp, an internal low voltage circuit will shut the lamp off until the batteries have been
recharged.
FlameGard 5 Test Lamp Recharging Instructions
Insert the charging plug into the receptacle. Complete recharging takes a minimum of
fourteen hours. A schedule should be established and followed.
WARNING: Replace the knurled plug after charging is complete. Charging must be carried
out in a non-hazardous area. The charging receptacle is located inside the housing
adjacent to the ON button. To gain access, it is necessary to unscrew the gnarled plug
from the body of the unit. The plug is secured to the ON button by a safety strap to keep it
from being lost. It is recommended that the test lamp be kept on charge when not in use to
prevent excessive battery discharge. The batteries may be charged an average of
500 times and the battery pack is replaceable.
