QUICK USE GUIDE
Contents
Model FT196 Flame Detector Test Lamp
4 standard disposable “D” cell batteries
Or 4 rechargeable batteries with 120 volt or 220 volt battery charger
!WARNING: De-classify the area to reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmosphere.
Combustible and ammable gases and vapors are very dangerous. Extreme caution
should be taken when these hazards are present.
!WARNING: DO NOT look directly into the test lamp while it is on. Never point the
test lamp at another person while it is on. When operating the ame detector test
lamp, shortwave ultraviolet radiation is emitted which can damage your eyesight.
Operating the Test Lamp
1. Open the case.
2. If using for the rst time, charge the rechargeable batteries if included.
3. Carefully remove the test lamp from the case.
4. Make sure the lens is free and clear of any dust, dirt, or debris prior to use
!IMPORTANT: Do not allow , dust, dirt, debris, or nger marks to get onto the face of
the lens. The transmission of the IR signal from the test lamp requires the lens to
be free of any obstruction to properly operate.
5. Position the test lamp within 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the ame detector and within the
detector’s eld-of-view
6. Point the head of the test lamp towards the viewing window of the ame detector
7. Press and HOLD the switch on the test lamp until the ame detector responds
You must continue pressing down the switch to activate the test lamp until the detector
responds
8. For SST’s Model F130, a red LED light will turn on to signal an alarm condition
9. Release the switch on the test lamp, you have successfully conrmed the ame
detector is operational
10. The ame detector will return to normal operation when the test lamp has been
deactivated turning off the red LED and only the green LED should be illuminated
11. Repeat test if necessary
12. Store the test lamp in the carrying case when not in use

Model FT196 Multi-Spectrum IR Portable Flame Detector Test Lamp
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A re is composed of heat and light , both visible and
invisible. And during the combustion process, smoke
may be generated. A re will emit specic radiation in the
infrared and ultraviolet spectrum. A ame detector uses
specialized sensors to detect these radiation to report and
conrm a re.
The Model FT196 Flame Detector Test Lamp is a specically
designed portable source of infrared (IR) radiation for
testing Safety Systems Technology’s Multi-Spectrum IR
ame detectors. The test lamp is used to test and conrm
the operation of the ame detector. It tests the viewing
window of the detector is clean and unobstructed as well
as verify its internal electronics operation is functioning
normally similar to how a built-in internal automatic self-
test works. Furthermore, it will conrm the operation of the
detector’s critical alarm outputs such as the contact relays,
4-20 mA alarm output, and the system’s wiring terminals,
cabling and its connections, functionality of the re alarm
panel, proper audible and or visual alarm notication, and
the suppression system if required.
Operational Description
Inside the unit is a source lamp for infrared. The test lamp emits IR radiation which pulsates
at a slow rate to simulate the “icker” in a real re. Because all ame detectors are line-of-
sight devices, the test lamp also veries that the window of the ame detector is unobstructed
which will allow the transmission of the IR signals from the test lamp to reach the sensors.
Any obstruction such as dust, dirt, grease, or debris on the lens of the ame detector will
prevent it from seeing the simulated re from the test lamp. The test lamp must be within
10 feet or 3.0 meters of the detector and in the vicinity of the eld-of-view of the detector to
operate. The ame detector, depending on the settings, should respond to the test lamp
within seconds. And once the detector has detected an alarm condition, it should activate
the critical alarm outputs conrming normal operation.
Housed inside the test lamp is a state-of-the-art electronics module that controls the IR source
lamps to simulate a real ame. The test lamp uses a highly specialized sapphire lens which
allows transmission of the IR radiation. Always handle the test lamp with extreme caution
to prevent damage to the special lens. The test lamp functions on internal batteries which,
when fully charged, will allow operation for an extended period of time. The test lamp uses
a momentary switch and must be pressed and held to activate and operate the unit while
testing a ame detector. This prevents the test lamp from being left on and to conserve
battery power.

MAINTENANCE
Factory Recommended Maintenance
The ame detector test lamp has been designed with very little to no required maintenance.
Depending on your application and safety guidelines in your facility, additional maintenance
may be necessary to ensure the unit will functioning properly.
Periodic maintenance should be performed per the manufacturer’s recommendations and
instructions. Factory recommended regular maintenance schedule is as follows:
• Lens Cleaning Prior to Use
• Annual Battery Check
Maintenance intervals should be independently established through a documented procedure
such as a maintenance log maintained by plant/safety personnel or third party testing services.
Lens Cleaning
!WARNING: The lens material is a highly specialized sapphire designed to transmit
UV and IR radiation from the source lamps. NEVER clean the lens with Windex
or other commercial glass cleaners. These often contain silicone or other UV
inhibitors that will prevent the transmission of the UV and IR signals. Only use
water or alcohol to wipe the lens clean.
Cleaning the outside surface of the lens of any accumulated dust, dirt, lm or debris will
insure trouble free operation.
A clean, soft, lint-free cloth, tissue (lotion-free) or cotton swab should be used.
1. Wet the lens with water or alcohol.
2. Rub with a clean and dry cloth until the window is free of dirt, dust, or debris.
3. Let the lens dry completely.
Cleaning the lens prior to routine testing of the detectors will be sufcient in most cases
Annual Battery Check
The test lamp uses very little power and does not require frequent battery replacement. It
is recommended to periodically check the batteries prior to use when the test lamp has not
been used for an extended amount of time. Check for any damage or leaks and replace as
necessary.
Disposable Batteries
Disposable batteries should be replaced when it no longer supplies enough power to the test
lamp, is damaged or leaks. Use standard size “D” cell batteries.
Rechargeable Batteries
Rechargeable batteries should be replaced when it no longer holds a charge, is damaged or
leaks. Any standard size “D” rechargeable batteries are suitable.

FLAME DETECTOR TESTING
!WARNING: The Model FT196 Flame Detector Test Lamp is not rated for use
in hazardous locations. De-classify the area to reduce the risk of ignition of
hazardous atmosphere. DO NOT use the test lamp where combustible and
ammable gases are present.
The Model FT196 Flame Detector Test Lamp is specically designed portable sources of
infrared radiation for testing Multi-Spectrum IR ame detectors. The test lamp pulsates an
IR radiation at a slow rate to simulate the “icker” of a real re.
The Model FT194 is a specially designed test lamp which consists of a highly specialized
sapphire lens. The sapphire lens allows transmission of the infrared (IR) radiation. This lens
is extremely expensive and must never be replaced with a standard glass or plastic lens.
Always handle the test lamp with extreme caution to prevent damage to the special lens.
Store the test lamp in the provided carrying case when not in use.
The following testing procedure refers to Safety Systems Technology’s line of ame detectors.
Factory Recommended Test Schedule
Factory recommends testing the ame detectors on a monthly basis to ensure proper
operation.
When to Test the Flame Detector
The following lists when to test the ame detector:
• After initial installation
• Every 30 days after the last operational test
• After a FAULT has been resolved
• After cleaning the lens
• In areas where severe lightning storms occur, it is recommended to test the ame
detectors after a severe lightning storm
!NOTE: The Monthly Operational Test can be performed by one person. No
manual adjustments are required for testing.
