Model F120 UV/IR Flame Detector
MONTHLY OPERATING TEST INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING: The Model FT194 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 FT194 Flame Detector Test Lamp is specically designed portable sources of
ultraviolet and infrared radiation for testing UV/IR ame detectors. The test lamp emits a wide
band of UV radiation which includes the region of 1850 to 2450 Angstrom, corresponding to
the response of the UV sensor of the detector. In addition to the UV radiation, 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 ultraviolet (UV) and 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.
Factory Recommended Test Schedule
Factory recommends testing the ame detectors on a monthly basis to ensure proper
operation.

• After initial installation
• Every 30 days after the last operational test
