How to use:
To power up the unit remove the clip on base and operate the power switch. Press 1 for constant illumination, 2 for regular flashing or 3 for irregular flicker. Entering a single digit will illuminate the output to 100% when on. The signal bar graph LED’s will Flame Sensor Tester kit display the signal type selected. To activate the main output sources the * button must be held down.
Most optical flame sensors respond to Ultra Violet (UV) and or Infra-Red (IR) radiation emitted from flames during combustion. Many sensors also use flame flicker techniques to distinguish between flames and other optical false sources. The test unit simulates the flickering flame signal by modulating the output of a filament lamp. the thermal time constant of a filament lamp prevents the generation of a perfect flame flicker signal. The slow response of a filament lamp will mean that some flame sensors many require more time to activate under test than they would with a real flame.
