T110 TEST SOURCE - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.

INTRODUCTION

The T110 Test Source is used to test Thorn Security infra-red
flame detectors listed in Section 2, in both safe and hazardous
areas.
The T110 is ATEX approved for use in zones 1 and 2 for group
IIC gasses rated T1 - T4. Approval for zone 0 is not available for
this type of equipment, although it is understood that
dispensation may be obtainable on a site-by-site basis from the
Factory Inspectorate.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES OPEN THE T110
HOUSING IN A HAZARDOUS AREA.
BATTERY CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN A
SAFE AREA.

DESCRIPTION

The T110 consists of a module mounted in a cradle which can be
hand held or secured to an extendable pole. The module is self-
aligning on the detector by means of an adaptor secured to the
front of the cradle. The assembly is then held against the detector
to check the response time and sensitivity of the detector.
There are four adapter plates available, each plate is specific to
the following detector modules:
1) S111, S112, S121, S122
2) S131, S161
3) MS302, MS502
4) 601F, 601FEx, 801F, 801FEx
The required adapter plate is secured to the front of the T110 Test
Source by three posidrive screws located on the front of the T110
mounting plate.
The Test Source is enclosed in a glass filled polyester housing
which is approved as an increased safety or 'e' housing. It
contains a bulb which is electrically pulsed by an intrinsically
safe circuit to simulate typical flame flicker. Infra-red radiation
from the lamp is focused by a Fresnel lens through a sapphire
window onto the detector.
The unit is powered by a ATEX approved PP3 battery (see 4.3).
The T110 is switched on with a rotary selector switch knob
located on the rear of the unit.

3 2/2006
The switch has three positions:
1) OFF Centre position
2) Sxx1 For testing Solar Blind
detector models S111, S121, S131,
S161, 601F, 601FEx, 801F and 801FEx
3) Sxx2 For testing Non Solar
Blind detector models S112, S122,
MS302 and MS502
Care must be taken to switch off the unit when not in use to avoid
battery drain.
When attaching an adapter to the T110, the following
precautions must be observed:
The T110 mounting plate must be clean and flat. If the mounting
plate is bent or distorted in any way the unit should be returned
for repair, see Section 8.
The adapter plate must be clean and flat. If the adapter plate is
bent or distorted in any way, it should be discarded and replaced.
No attempt should be made to insert packaging between the T110
mounting plate and the appropriate adaptor plate as this may
seriously affect the response of the detector

METHOD OF TEST

WARNING:
TESTING A DETECTOR WILL PRODUCE AN
ALARM SIGNAL FROM THE DETECTOR. TAKE
THE NECESSARY STEPS TO INHIBIT A FULL
ALARM CONDITION AT THE CONTROL PANEL
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
a) Fit the appropriate adapter to the front of the unit.
b) If the detector for test cannot be reached by arm
extension, connect up extension poles to the
required length, (up to 3.9m: 13ft).
c) Turn the rotary switch to the detector range
required.
d) Offer up test unit to the front of the detector and
engage top of the front surround on the top edge
of the detector.
e) Push forward on the handle or extension and the
T110 will self align to the face of the detector.
