The 40/40R detector will trigger an alarm from a simulator, at a maximum
distance of 2.4ft (0.75m).
Notes:
• The minimum distance from the detector is 20 inches (50 cm).
At extreme temperatures, there is a 15% maximum reduction in the

D.1.4 Charging the Battery
The Fire Simulator uses NiCd batteries as a rechargeable power source.
When the batteries are fully charged, the simulator operates for at least 60
times without recharging. An internal buzzer is sounded when the voltage
from the batteries is lower than the required operational level.
To charge the battery:
1 Place the Fire Simulator on a table in a safe area.
2 Turn the sealed plug (next to the operation button) counter-clockwise
with a suitable wrench.
3 Connect the battery charger.
4 Charge for a maximum of 14 hours.
5 Disconnect the charger.
6 Tighten the sealed plug clockwise.
