FS20X Fire and Flame Detectors
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-window" self-testing, Honeywell Analytics, in compliance
with NFPA 72 codes, has developed portable test lamps for end-to-end remote
testing.
Internal detector testing and window cleanliness testing cannot ensure that a
detector is aimed properly, that its view of the threat area has not been blocked, or
that its alarming circuitry and outputs (i.e., relays, 4-to-20 mA, open collectors, etc.)
are operating properly. Remote test lamps can perform these functions.
WARNING
!
Use test lamp model TL-1055 in non-hazardous locations only. For hazardous
locations, use model TL-2055 as described below.
Test lamp TL-1055
Model TL-1055 is a general purpose NEMA 1 handheld rechargeable test lamp
designed for testing FSX detectors in non-hazardous locations only. The test lamp
(see Figure 3) is supplied with a universal charger (110 VAC and 220 VAC).
Figure 3. TL-1055 handheld test lamp (NEMA 1)
In normal operation, an FS20X detector will alarm to a fully charged TL-1055 test
lamp at a distance of 1 to 25 feet. This complies with NFPA 72 codes.
