Follow these instructions to simulate a fire:
1
Aim the Fire Simulator towards the detector’s “Target Point” (see Fig. 17-18)
2 For testing, keep a distance of at least 20 inches (50cm) from the detector.
3 Press the operation button once. Fire simulation will last for 20 seconds. The
detector will send an alarm signal.
4 For another fire simulation a 20 second time lapse is required between tests.
5 Make sure the optical window is clean and keep the Fire Simulator in the
storage case when not in use.
Battery Charging
1 The Fire Simulator uses NiCd batteries as a rechargeable power source.
When the batteries are fully charged it will operate for at least 60 uses without
recharging. An internal buzzer is sounded when the voltage from the batteries
is lower than the required operational level.
2 Place the Fire Simulator into the storage case on a table in a safe area.
3 Turn the sealed plug (next to the operation button) counter clockwise with a
suitable wrench.
4 Connect the battery charger.
5 Charge for a maximum of 14 hours.
6 Disconnect the charger.
7 Tighten the sealed plug clockwise.
