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 disc harged if t he 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 suf ficiently to remove the cap. When closing, make sure that the captive screws (located on the reflector) are mat ched wit h the holes located on the body of the test lamp.
TL105 NOTE: Bef ore testing any GM flame detector, see Table 2 and Figure 5 to ensure t he ro tary switch setting is correct for the particular detector. CAUTION: When operating in conditions involving fog, rain or frost, UV and IR rad iation are (diminished) with increasing levels of moisture.
