General Description
The MOD400R Test Module is a tool testing the relative
sensitivity of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 Series smoke
detectors only. It CANNOT be used on 800 Series detectors.
It consists of a test module and interface cord for connect-
ing the module to the detector being tested.
This battery powered module is equipped with two color-
coded banana jacks for the connection of any analog or dig-
ital DC voltmeter having a sensitivity of 10 k
Ω/V or greater.
As an added convenience, two adhesive-backed Velcro®
strips are also supplied for attaching the module to the
meter being used during testing.
Test module function is under the control of a 3-position
and a 2-position slide switch on the side of the unit.
Various combinations of positions of these two switches
enable the module to test conventional and analog ioniza-
tion and photoelectronic smoke detectors as well as check-
ing the battery. In addition, the 3-position switch, SW1, has
a center-OFF position for turning off the module. Therefore,
conserve battery life by always setting this switch to OFF
when the module is not in use.
MOD400R Setup
1. Connect a voltmeter having a sensitivty of 10 k
Ω/V or
greater to the banana jacks on the side of the
MOD400R. Be sure to connect the positive test lead to
the red jack and the negative lead to the black.
2. Connect the interface cord to the RJ-11 telephone jack on
the bottom edge of the module.
3. Test the MOD400R battery as described in BATTERY
TESTING.
Smoke Detector Testing
Conventional Ion
1. Prepare the MOD400R for testing by performing the pro-
cedure in MOD400R SETUP.
2. Set the voltmeter to measure at least 3 VDC.
3. Make sure that power is applied to the detector to be
tested.
4. Set SW1 to its A position and the 2-position switch, SW2,
to CONV.
5. See Figure 1. Insert the test plug into the test module
socket on the detector.
The voltmeter should display a voltage that falls in the
MOD400(R) RANGE printed on the label on the back of
A78-2075-00
Failure to insert and retract this plug in the direction shown
may result in damage to the pins. Handle with care. Inspect
pins regularly for damage to ensure proper operation.
CAUTION
the detector. This corresponds to the NOMINAL SENS.
(sensitivity) on the label.
If the voltmeter displays a voltage outside the
MOD400(R) RANGE, it indicates that the detector
requires cleaning or repair.
6. Disconnect the MOD400R from the detector and set SW1
to OFF.
Conventional Photoelectronic Detectors
1. Prepare the MOD400R for testing by performing the pro-
cedure in MOD400R SETUP.
2. Set the voltmeter to measure at least 3 VDC.
3. Make sure that power is applied to the detector to be
tested.
4. Set SW1 to its B position and the 2-position switch, SW2,
to CONV.
5. See Figure 1. Insert the test plug into the test module
socket on the detector.
The voltmeter should display a voltage that falls in the
MOD400(R) RANGE printed on the label on the back of
Figure 1:
