3. Safety instructions
1. The life time of the battery is negatively influenced if you use the Test Lamp continuously longer than 10 minutes
and in one go. The Test Lamp will automatically stop working after 30 seconds.
2. The Test Lamp has a protective grate which should not be removed. Warning, after use the grate may be hot. Do
not stick objects through the grate.
3. Store the Test Lamp clean and dry. A dirty reflector will reduce the test range.
4. Do not use the Test Lamp in wet conditions.
5. Keep away from children. Do not point directly at eyes from a short distance. Do not look directly into the light.
6. Do not use Test Lamp when damaged. Do not open the lamp, send it back for repair. Contact Sense-WARE for
details.
7. Do not throw the unit in a fire. The battery could explode when exposed to intense heat.
8. The sealed lead battery has a lifetime of several years. Please ask your local city official how to dispose the unit.
9. Make sure testing of the Flame Detectors does not activate unwanted alarm signals.
10. Use in safe areas only.
11. Dispose the items in accordance with the WEEE directive.
4. First use
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment (on the top of the Test Lamp).
2. Take and place the battery back into the battery compartment in such a way
that the terminals of the 12 V battery are making contact with the terminals of
the lamp. Press the battery sufficiently to enable easy mounting of the cover,
3. Mount the cover of the battery compartment in the original position. Charge
the battery (see chapter 6) until the status LED is continuous green.
Remark:
The battery is charged when leaving the factory. However, the battery should be charged immediately after purchase.
5. Operation
Before a test is carried out make sure the Flame Detector is switched on and the alarm outputs are in override.
Please avoid unwanted alarm signals as a result of your test. Use in safe areas only.
The Test Lamp will turn on/off by pressing/releasing the trigger. When pressing the trigger the status LED is
continuous green, provided the Test Lamp battery is fully charged.
1. Point at the Flame Detector within the test distance and on the central axis
of the cone of vision of the detector.
2. Press the trigger and wait until the Flame Detector is activated. The Test
Lamp will deactivate automatically after 30 seconds.
3. Verify that the switch on the left of the Test Lamp is in the continuous
mode (see figure on the RHS of this page). For IR or UV/IR detectors the switch on the left of the Test Lamp
should be in the pulse mode. In this mode the Test Lamp emits energy with a pulse frequency of approx. 2 Hz.
4. Operate the Test Lamp for at least the selected delay time of the detector. Virtually all Flame Detectors will
respond within 30 seconds when the test criteria have been met.
5. Wait at least 30 seconds after each test before performing the next test.
6. Charging
1. Plug in the charger and apply the charger cable to the Test Lamp. During charging the status LED is either
steady Yellow or blinking Green.
2. Charge until the status LED is continuous green. When the green LED is steady after about 4 hours the battery is
fully charged.
3. The Test Lamp must be fully charged when stored. Every 3 months the unit should be recharged.
4. When the charger is removed after the charging, the status LED is switched off.
