WARNING

Any external alarm equipment, systems or
signaling devices that could be automatically
initiated by performing this test must be disabled
or bypassed before performing this test!

Response Proof Test Sequence

NOTE

Verification of the LED function is optional as the
LEDs are not part of the safety function.

1. Inhibit alarm and fault response at the control

device.

2. Place the magnet at the ‘TEST’ icon on the ATX10

faceplate for at least 3 seconds or issue an Active

Manual AIC test command via digital communication

(HART or RS485).

3. Activation of the Manual AIC test results in a flashing

green LED and an audible tone.

4. Verify correct change of state at the control device:

a successful alarm proof test results in a latched

20 mA output and red alarm LED; an unsuccessful

proof test results in a latched 2 mA output and a

flashing yellow fault LED.

5. Following a Manual AIC test, reset the detector

by placing the magnet at the ‘RESET’ icon on the

ATX10 faceplate for at least 3 seconds, or by issuing

a reset command via digital communication (HART

or RS485). Actuating the Reset command resets

any alarms or faults and places the detector back in

the normal operating mode.

6. Verify that the device returns to a 4 mA output.

7. Re-activate alarm and fault response at the control

device.

Completion of the Response Proof Test must be

recorded and documented in the SIS logbook.

WARNING

Any external alarm equipment, systems or
signaling devices that were disabled must be
re-activated at the conclusion of proof testing
activities.

NOTE

The use of the Manual AIC test shall be limited to
maintenance and proof test activities.

CALIbRATIoN
Field calibration of the acoustic detector is not

necessary or available.

FAULT/FAILURE ACTIoN PLAN
In the event that an AIC test does not result in an

acceptable Response Proof Test, then the standard

Maintenance and Device Repair and Return procedures

as listed in the FlexSonic Acoustic Detector instruction

manual must be followed. Any failure to successfully

complete the Response Proof Test must be recorded

and documented in the SIS logbook.

PRoDUCT REPAIR
Field repair of the FlexSonic Acoustic Detector is

limited to replacement of the sensor cover and/or

foam particulate filter. All other device repairs must be

conducted at the factory. No firmware changes are

permitted or authorized. All failures detected by the

device diagnostics or by the proof tests that cannot

be resolved through the procedures described in

the FAULT/FAILURE ACTION PLAN section must be

reported to the manufacturer.

oPERATING, ENVIRoNMENTAL, AND
PERFoRMANCE SPECIFICATIoNS
The Safety-Certified FlexSonic Acoustic Detector

product versions fully comply with, and must be operated

in accordance with the functional, environmental, and

performance specifications provided in the FlexSonic

Acoustic Detector instruction manual. A 24 hour mean

time to repair should be assumed for safety availability

calculations.

SPARE PARTS
Refer to “Ordering Information” in the FlexSonic Acoustic

Detector instruction manual. Safety Certification is

based on a sufficient number of spares to achieve a 24

hour mean time to repair.
