Det-Tronics PSS-LC Test Lamp for PM-6 Series Detectors - Manual

APPLICATION
The PSS-ML Test Lamp is a compact, battery operated
source of IR radiation for periodic testing of PM-5MP+
Series Flame Detectors. The PSS-ML simulates a fire
by producing a beam of IR radiation with the same
wavelength as the response range of the PM-5MP+,
thereby enabling the operator to verify proper opera-
tion without the need for an open flame. The device is
suitable for use in hazardous (classified) areas.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
CAUTION
Change batteries only in a safe (non-hazardous)
location.
1. Unscrew the bezel and remove the reflector lamp.
2. Insert two size “AAA” alkaline batteries as shown
in Figure 1. Observe correct polarity.
3. Inspect the O-ring to be sure that it is in good
condition, then insert the reflector lamp into the
bezel and install the bezel on the case (turn
clockwise).
ON/OFF
To turn the light on, turn the bezel clockwise until the
light comes on. To turn the light off, turn the bezel
counter-clockwise at least one and a half turns.
TEST PROCEDURE
WARNING
A full system test results in an alarm output. This
will result in the suppression system being acti-
vated if it is not disabled prior to testing.
1. Suppression System. Disable the suppression
system if its activation is not desired during this
test.
2. Operation of PSS-ML Test Lamp. Turn on the
PSS-ML and wait at least 15 seconds. Direct the
beam into the front of the detector as shown in
Figure 2. Hold the PSS-ML so that the bezel is
less than 1 inch from the front of the flame detec-
tor and move it from side to side to expose both
sensors and to create a “flicker” effect.
