7.4 Functional Testing

Following is a testing procedure for proper wiring and functioning of the detector.

Important Note!

If SW1 switches 7 or 6 are in their “ON” position the Alarm, Accessory Relays

and 4-20mA will be activated during a MANUAL BIT, therefore, automatic

extinguishing systems or any external devices that may be activated during BIT

must be disconnected.

1. Verify that the detector is operated properly.

2. Initiate manual BIT. After a few seconds the following occurs:

• Alarm Relay will be activated for 3 seconds (Only if SW1-6 is ON).

•

Accessory Relay will be activated for 3 seconds (Only if SW1-7 is ON).

•

The LED should blink at 0.5Hz rate.

• Fault Relay will stay active during the test.

This completes the installation procedure. The detector and system are now

ready for operation.

7.5 Testing With Fire Simulator (See Appendix D)

This test is producing to simulate an exposure of the detector to a real fire

condition. The detector is exposed to the radiation in the specified detection

level. As a result, the detector must generate a Fire Alarm signal

Important Note!

If the detector is exposed to a fire simulator the Alarm, Accessory Relays and

4-20mA will be activated during the simulation. Therefore, automatic

extinguishing systems or any external devices that may be activated during this

process must be disconnected.

1 Apply power to the system and wait up to 40 seconds for turning of the

detector to normal state. The yellow LED should blink at 0.5Hz rate. If the

detector is ON, skip this step.

2 Aim the Spectrex Fire Simulator Model 20/20-311 to the target point of the

detector (see Fig. 14), in a way that the radiation emitted by it is facing

directly towards the detector (See Appendix D.)

3 Press the operation button once. After few seconds the red LED should be

on for few seconds. After this period the red LED should be off and the

yellow LED blink continually at 0.5Hz rate. The 4-20mA output should turn to

20mA for few seconds and then to return to 4mA. The Alarm Relay should

also turn on to this period. The Accessory Relay should respond in parallel to

the Alarm Relay if SW1-4 is OFF.
