TL105 Test Lamp

The TL105 test lamp is a battery operated, rechargeable test source used to make sure that operation of the device is correct. The test lamp has a high-energy broadband radiation source that emits sufficient energy in both the UV and IR spectra to activate the UV and IR detectors. To simulate a fire, the TL105 test lamp automatically flashes at the correct rate for different models. When fully charged, the internal batteries operate continuously for 30 minutes. When the battery charge goes below the level necessary to supply the correct intensity, an internal low-voltage circuit stops operation of the test lamp until the batteries are recharged. For recharging instructions, refer to the TL105 Instruction Manual (P/N MANTL105).

1.

Make sure that the batteries are fully charged, and the rotary switch is set at position 4 (FL4000 position).

2.

Stand 15 - 20 ft (5 - 6 m) away from the FL500 UV/IR.

Stand up to 30 ft (9 m) away from the FL500 H2.

3.

Point the TL105 test lamp directly at the front of the device.

4.

Shake the test lamp from side to side or up and down. Motion increases the simulation of flames flickering and increases the response of the device to the test lamp.

If device operation is correct, after a few flashes of the test lamp, an Alarm Low condition occurs.

If the test lamp stays pointed at the device for the period of the time-delay setting, an Alarm High condition occurs.

To conserve the battery charge, operate the test lamp only as long as necessary to do a test of each device.
