TL105 About This Manual This manual provides instructions for operating, and maintaining the General Monitors (GM) TL105 test lamp. The intended audience includes installation personnel, field service technicians, and other technical staff involved in using a TL105. Format Conventions Several format conventions are used throughout this manual for Notes, Cautions, and Warnings.
TL105 1.0 Introduction Figure 1: TL105 Test Lamp Notice All information contained in this instruction manual applies only to the setup and operation of the TL105 test lamp with flame detectors provided by General Monitors. The sale of the test lamp does not license the user to reproduce GM drawings or to utilize any information contained in this manual without prior written permission.
TL105 Description The TL105 is a battery operated rechargeable test lamp specifically designed to test General Monitors’ UV, UV/IR, Digital Frequency IR, and Multi-Spectral IR flame detectors. The test lamp provides a high-energy, broadband radiation source that emits sufficient energy in both the ultraviolet and infrared spectra to activate UV and/or IR detectors.
TL105 Figure 2: TL105 Battery Connection Test Lamp Operating Principle A variety of flashing test patterns, selectable through a rotary switch, allows the test lamp to check the operation of General Monitors flame detectors. When the specific flashing pattern for a given type of flame detector is appropriately selected, the test lamp triggers the alarm or test mode.
TL105 2.0 Quick Start Guide 10-35 ft Figure 3: Approximate Distance between TL105 and a Flame Detector It is important to begin a series of flame detector checks with a fully charged TL105. Stand between 10 and 35 feet from a Flame Detector that is to be tested and aim the TL105 directly into the detector window.
TL105 3.0 Test Lamp Components 3.1 Lamp Housing Assembly NOTE: Do not put fingerprints on the reflector or the light bulb, as this will reduce the available radiation required by the individual detector. The lamp housing assembly consists of a gold-plated parabolic reflector with the lamp affixed to its center.
TL105 lamp will turn itself off. This is to prevent the battery becoming completely discharged if the ON / OFF button is accidentally bumped on. 3.7 Aluminum Case and Cap The TL105 red aluminum housing is explosion proof for use in hazardous locations (8.2.2). It can also be used for general-purpose, non-hazardous applications.
TL105 4.0 Use and Operation Figure 4: Reflector Mounting in Body Prior to opening of the test lamp make sure that the set screw located on the cap is loosened sufficiently to remove the cap. When closing, make sure that the captive screws (located on the reflector) are matched with the holes located on the body of the test lamp.
TL105 NOTE: Before testing any GM flame detector, see Table 2 and Figure 5 to ensure the rotary switch setting is correct for the particular detector. CAUTION: When operating in conditions involving fog, rain or frost, UV and IR radiation are (diminished) with increasing levels of moisture.

TL105 5.0 Test Lamp Maintenance and Warranty 5.1 Maintenance Routine maintenance for the test lamp is minimal: When the test lamp is not being used, it is mandatory to ensure that the test lamp is docked on the charger and the charger is connected to a live 110 – 240VAC power supply adapter.
TL105 5.3 Recharging the Battery Before the lamp is used for the first time, or after it has been used to the point where the red LED at the front has come on solidly, the battery must be recharged. To recharge the battery, take the test lamp to a non-hazardous area where there is no possibility of an explosive gas or dust atmosphere being present.
