1.0 GENERAL The Fike Output Analyzer (P/N 10-2983) is a compact, rechargeable, hand- held device designed to be used by Fike factory-trained and certified service technicians to test and verify the operation of the following Fike releasing components: Explosion Protection Controller (EPC)*, P/N E10-0066.
2.0 SUPPLIED COMPONENTS The Output Analyzer comes with the following components: P/N 10-2986, EPC Test Harness- Output and Sensory Input 3 ft. long wire leads P/N 10-2987, IRM/ARM Test Harness - Output or Supervisory Current Test 3 ft. long wire leads P/N 10-2988, Field Box Test Connector 14-inch Long Leads with Alligator Clips P/N F0292619, EXP AFM Test Harness...
P/N F0292618, 30Ω EP/EXP Solenoid Test Jumper P/N 02-16505, USB Charging Cable – 5Vdc ONLY! USB A USB C DO NOT charge at higher voltages! Electrical damage will occur! P/N 02-16506, Output Analyzer Case NOTE: The Output Analyzer is supplied with a charging cord but does not include a wall charger or a 1-Ohm Resistor used in EPC testing.
4.0 BATTERY LIFE IMPORTANT: Pack and safely store the Fike Output Analyzer when not in use. Do not allow the Analyzer to remain connected to live circuitry, as this will reduce battery life. The device is shipped with only a partial charge. It must be fully charged before being used for testing. One full charge typically takes about 1.5 hours.
5.1. Navigation Menu Press and release the SELECT button to advance through the menu options on the front LCD panel. Continue to press and release the SELECT button until the desired function is reached. The navigation menu functions in a loop, and there is no back button, so if you advance past an option, you'll need to press and release the SELECT button to loop back to the desired option.
6.0 EPC TESTING 6.1. EPC Operational Overview The Output Analyzer performs two essential testing functions associated with EPC series firing circuits. The first testing function assesses the EPC's ability to supply the correct current (amps) required to activate the actuator devices connected to the series firing circuit.
Figure 3 - EPC Series Firing Circuit Activation Current Use the EPC Test Harness supplied with the Analyzer to connect it to the EPC's 4-20 mA detection circuits (P2- 1 or P2-2) and series firing circuit (P3-2), as shown in Figure 3. Connect the 0Ω...

Press and release the ENTER button to initiate the test. The following screen will display: As soon as the Analyzer tool recognizes there is an active connection, it will start its countdown: Once the countdown timer completes, the display will indicate the system is ready for activation. Press and release the ACTIVATE button on the Analyzer to initiate the test.
6.3.2. Test 2: EPC Supervisory Current Test This test verifies the acceptability of the supervisory current supplied by the EPC's series firing circuit. The Analyzer includes jumpers and test leads used to perform this test. To begin: 1. Power down the EPC. 2.
6.3.3. Test 3: EPC Field Test This test verifies that the EPC supplies the acceptable activation current to the field devices through series firing circuit field wiring. The Output Analyzer kit includes jumpers and test leads used to perform these tests. To begin: 1.
9. With the leads connected and the appropriate test jumper installed, the Analyzer will initiate a 30-second countdown timer to ensure the internal series firing circuit on the EPC is charged and ready to fire. The Analyzer will display a countdown to indicate when the time delay has expired and the EPC is ready for testing. 10.
7.0 IRM TESTING 7.1. IRM Operational Overview The Output Analyzer can perform two essential testing functions associated with the IRM firing circuit. The first testing function assesses the IRM's ability to supply the correct current (amps) required to activate the actuator devices connected to the firing circuit.

5. Remove the 0Ω Shunt from the Analyzer. The supervisory current will be displayed (20mA - 54mA). 6. Record the IRM supervisory current reading for future reference, because subsequent tests will overwrite current test data. 7. Install the 0Ω Shunt (short jumper) into the Analyzer 8.
8.0 FIRE ARM TESTING 8.1. Fire ARM Operational Overview The Output Analyzer can perform two essential testing functions associated with the Fire ARM firing circuit. The first testing function assesses the Fire ARM's ability to supply the correct current (amps) required to activate the actuator devices connected to the firing circuit.
Page 21
3. Remove the 0Ω Shunt from the Analyzer. The supervisory current will be displayed (20mA - 54mA). 4. Record the ARM supervisory current reading for future reference, because subsequent tests will override current test data. 5. Install the 0Ω Shunt (short jumper) into the Analyzer. The display will read "Ready for Test." Reset the panel if required to obtain a normal panel, and wait 60 seconds for the capacitor to charge.
9.0 EP ARM TESTING 9.1. EP ARM Operational Overview The Output Analyzer can perform two essential testing functions associated with the EP ARM's firing circuit. The first testing function assesses the integrity of the field wiring by measuring the supervisory current (without jumper installed) at the EP ARM.
Page 23
3. With no jumper installed, the supervisory current will be displayed as 20mA - 54mA, nominal. 4. Record the EP ARM supervisory current reading for future reference, because subsequent tests will override current test data. 5. Install the jumper into the Analyzer. With the 1Ω 35W Jumper installed, the Analyzer display will read "Ready for Test."...
When the Output Analyzer is connected to an EXP AFM for testing, the activation signal is provided from the Remote Trigger tool (Fike P/N: F0280086). The Analyzer measures the current supplied by the EXP AFM's firing circuit and displays the result on the LCD panel. Four readings will be taken to ensure the EXP AFM supplies adequate firing current, with readings occurring instantaneously.
Figure 10 - EXP AFM Firing Circuit Activation Current Test (Dual Input shown) 3. Disconnect the "Release Input" plug being tested from the AFM and plug in the Remote Trigger "Trigger Out" connector to the AFM "Release Input" plug for input being tested (P2 or P3), as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11 - EXP AFM Firing Circuit Activation Current Test (Dual Input shown) Doc.
4. Plug the Remote Trigger 24VDC connector into the "TEST PWR" plug on the AFM, as shown in Figure 12. Jumper Installation Figure 12 - EXP AFM Firing Circuit Activation Current Test (Dual Input shown) 5. Apply power to the Output Analyzer and select EXP AFM from the Menu Options. 6.
When the Analyzer is connected to an EXP Solenoid AFM for testing, the activation signal is provided from the Remote Trigger tool (Fike P/N: F0280086). The Analyzer will then measure the current supplied by the EXP Solenoid AFM's firing circuit and display the result on the LCD panel. An average of multiple readings will be taken to ensure the EXP Solenoid AFM supplies adequate firing current, with readings occurring instantaneously.
4. Disconnect the "Release Input 1" plug from the AFM. Insert the Remote Trigger "Trigger Out" plug into the AFM "Release Input 1" connector on the AFM, as shown in Figure 15. Figure 15 - Remote Trigger Connection Steps 5. Insert the Remote Trigger 24VDC plug into the "TEST PWR" connector on the AFM. 30Ω/50W Resistor Figure 16 Remote Trigger Connection Steps Doc.

6. Apply power to the Output Analyzer and select “EXP Sol AFM” Tool from the Menu Options. 7. If the Output Analyzer is not connected as shown in Figure 14 or if the EXP Solenoid AFM is not powered up, the Disconnected/Off screen will be displayed.
12.0 EPC SOLENOID EDITION TESTING 12.1. EPC Solenoid Edition Operational Overview The Output Analyzer can perform two essential testing functions associated with the EPC Solenoid Edition firing circuit. The first testing function assesses the ability of the EPC Solenoid firing circuit to supply the correct current (amps) required to activate the solenoid connected to the firing circuit.
