T210+ TEST SOURCE - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
The T210+ Test Source is used to test Thorn Security S200 and
S200+ Series of infra-red flame detectors in both safe and
hazardous areas.
The T210+ is ATEX/IECEx 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.
WARNING:
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES OPEN THE
T210+ HOUSING IN A HAZARDOUS AREA.
BATTERY CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN A
SAFE AREA.
2. DESCRIPTION
The T210+ 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.
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 parabolic reflector through a
sapphire window onto the detector.
The unit is powered by a Baseefa approved PP3 battery (see 5.4).
The T210+ is switched on with a rotary selector switch knob
located on the rear of the unit.
The switch has four positions:
1) OFF
2) 50m
3) 25m
4) 12m
Care must be taken to switch off the unit when not in use to avoid
battery drain.

3. PREPARING T210+ FOR USE
1) To assemble the T210+ to the S200 adaptor S/C No.
592.001.014, see Fig 1.
a) Assemble the S200 adaptor moulding/'U'
bracket to the T210+ front plate using the three
screws provided.
b) Attach the pole bracket to the 'U' bracket/pole
stub assembly using the wing nut and nylon
washers provided. Tighten securely.
Note: Hereafter, the term T210+, refers to the T210+
fitted with the S200 adaptor, brackets and pole
stub.
2) To fit battery (in safe area) see below.
a) Ensure that the PP3 battery is fully charged.
b) Ensure that the T210+ rotary switch is in the
'OFF' position.
c) Remove the four back cover corner screws. Lift
off the box front containing the PCB and battery
holder. A lanyard is fitted to the T210+ to avoid
straining the lead connecting the lamp assembly
on the front box to the PCB on the back box.
d) Align the PP3 battery with the battery holder,
ensuring correct polarity alignment and push the
battery into the holder.
Note: The circuit is polarity protected but the unit will not
work with battery inserted the wrong way round.
e) Turn the rotary switch to the 12m position and
check that the lamp flashes. Turn the rotary
switch to the 25m position and check that the
lamp flashes more dimly. Turn the rotary switch
to the 50m and check that the lamp is very dim.
f) Turn the rotary
position. Reassemble the back case to the front
cover with the four screws. Do not over tighten.
