CAUTION:
The following test will simulate a real fire condition and may activate the
extinguishing system or other alarms. If this is not desired, disconnect/inhibit them
before the test and reconnect after the simulation.
Figure 17: Mini IR3 Detector Target Point
Follow these instructions to simulate a fire:
1. Aim the Fire Simulator towards the detector’s “Target Point”.
2. For testing keep a distance of at least 50cm (20 inches) from the detector.
3. Press the operation button once. Fire simulation will last for 20 seconds.
The detector will send an alarm signal (solid red LED).
4. For another fire simulation a 20 second time lapse is required between
tests.
5. Make sure the optical window is clean and keep the Fire Simulator in a safe
place when not in use.
Battery Charging
The Fire Simulator uses NiCad batteries as a rechargeable power source. When
the batteries are fully charged it will operate for at least 60 uses without
recharging. An internal buzzer is sounded when the voltage from the batteries is
lower than the required operational level.
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.
