Start-Up and Commissioning
During Start-Up and Commissioning, DISABLE all outputs from the Detector to any control panels or control
devices. After the Detector(s) is powered, as with all flame and fire detectors, one should conduct an external
Detector test "end to end". Using an external hand-held test lamp ensures that the Detector has a clear
unobstructed view of the threat area.
Note: Honeywell Analytics FSX Detectors feature an automatic built-in "through the lens" test that
verifies the cleanliness of its viewing window lens every three seconds and tests it internal
electronics and software. As with all optical fire and flame detectors, this does not constitute
a fully functional "end to end" test as these types of internal self-tests only partially check and
test the operational readiness of a detector.
In order to test the full functionality and operational readiness of any fire or flame detector
"end to end", without starting a real fire (which is not permitted in hazardous areas), it is
necessary to test the detector(s) with an external test lamp
Using a test lamp is the only non-hazardous and safe method to test any flame or fire
detector's sensors, internal electronics and its alarm activation software, viewing window lens
cleanliness, terminal wiring integrity, actual relay activation, and the proper functionality of
any other outputs that are used. Also, since most detectors are installed in a fire alarm
system, this is the only method to test the complete fire alarm system, ensuring all the system
wiring and cabling and system control panel are properly installed.
Additionally, using an external test lamp eliminates the following detector conditions:
1. The fire or flame detector(s)' viewing lens being covered up (such as paint, paint over
spray, paint masking material, hanging garments, etc.),
2. Improperly positioned and orientated for coverage of the threat area,
3. Partial or full blockage of the detector's line of sight by one or more object(s) (i.e., recently
installed air ducts or pipes, storage boxes, vehicles, etc. such that the threat area is not
fully protected. Since all optical fire and flame detectors are line-of-sight devices, they
must be properly positioned and oriented with an unobstructed view of the threat area so
that they can detect flames/fires.
To test the full functionality of the FSX Detector, use the Model TL1055X or TL2055X Test
Lamp in the manner prescribed in this Instruction Manual.
WARNING: Use test lamp model TL1055s in non-hazardous locations only! For hazardous
The TL1055X and the TL2055X are the only Test Lamps that will activate the FSX Detectors.
Additionally, do not use these Test Lamps to activate other Honeywell Analytics Detectors
(nor any other conventional fire and flame detectors). Do not use other Honeywell Analytics
Test Lamps to test the FSX Detectors.
