Description
The Model 3140 simulates a UV/IR flame
signature by emitting a steady state UV signal
and a modulated IR signal at a flicker frequency
of 5 to 10 Hz. This simulation will cause the
Model 3100 flame detector to report an alarm.
Like the Model 3100 detector the 3140 is
designed for use in Hazardous environments.
The Model 3140 is intended for use in those
applications where regular testing, as required
by NFPA 72, is performed or where the use of
a real fire is impractical. The 3140 is rated over
a wide operating temperature range for those
applications where Flammable materials may
be present.

seconds when viewed on-axis @
2-15 feet
Housing Aluminum with Red Epoxy Paint
Power Standard 9-Volt Battery
Operating
Temperature -40° to 85° C.
Operating
Humidity 10% to 90%.
Red LED A flashing LED indicates Operation
Spectral
Emission Radiant UV energy in the 185 to
260 nm band and IR energy at 880
nm.
Basic Operation
Hold the Tester between 2 and 20 feet from the
Detector to be tested. Aim the Tester at the
Detector and press the button. The Red LED
will flash on and off and after approximately 3
seconds the detector will report an alarm. Note
that the detector must be in normal operation
(see the Detector's User Manual).
