Test Lamps - TL102 ( )
con tin ued
The Model TL102 is designed for explosion
proof applications for use in Class I,
Division 1, Group B, C & D areas. The test
lamp operates on internal lead-acid batteries
which, when fully charged, will operate
continuously for 25 to 30 minutes. An
internal circuit will prevent operation when
the batteries are low.
It is always important to start a series of
TL102 checks with a fully charged unit.
Stand 20 feet (for the FL3000 & FL3002) or
within 35 feet (for the FL3001) of the unit to
be tested and aim the TL102 directly into the
detector face squarely. If the system is
operating normally, the detector will go into
a WARNing (A1 alarm) condition after a
few flashes. If the Lamp remains ON for the
time-delayed period, the detector will go
into ALARM.
To conserve the charge, do not operate the
Test Lamp longer than is necessary to test
each detector. When the batteries are low
the Test Lamp will shut off until the
batteries have been recharged.
Recharging must be done in a
non-hazardous area. The charging
receptacle is located inside the housing,
under the knurled plug. To recharge the
batteries, insert the charging plug into an
outlet and remove the knurled plug located
next to the ON button. It is recommended
that the TL102 be kept on charge when not
in use to prevent excessive battery
discharge. The batteries may be recharged
an average of 500 times and the battery pack
is replaceable.
