About this Document

This portable "UV/IR" Test Lamp is used to test “end -to-end” Honeywell
Analytics Model SS2, SS3, and SS4 series Multi-Spectrum Electro-Optical
Fire and Flame Detectors and the SF16 Detector only and will NOT test other
manufacturers’ UV/IR flame detectors. Other manufacturers’ UV/IR Test
Lamps should not be used to test Honeywell Analytics Detectors because
Honeywell Analytics Detectors are designed to REJECT pulsing test lights as
false alarm sources. This indoor/outdoor Test Lamp is powered by
rechargeable batteries and is the replacement for the obsolete Model FT-
2045 Test Lamp.

HONEYWELL - C ONFIDENT IAL 3

 OPERATOR MANUAL // ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

General Description: This new handheld "UV/IR" Test Lamp replaces the
discontinued Model No. FT-2045.

 The new FT-2145 is smaller, lighter, and more compact than the FT-
2045 and features plug -in user replaceable parts for long operational
life.

 The UV/IR Test Lamp is FM App roved for use in Class I, Div. 1 & 2
Area Classification indoors or outdoors and Ex d IIB + H2 IP66 .

 The FT-2145 is used ONLY to test Honeywell Analytics Model SS2,

SS3, and SS4 series Multi-Spectrum Fire Detectors and the SF16
Detector “end -to-end”.

 It is powered by a rechargeable, long -life, more capacity, “memory-

free” nickel hydride battery pack.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Model FT-2145 Test Lamp will ONLY

activate Honeywell Analytics SS2, SS3, and SS4 Detectors and
the Model SF16 Detector and will NOT activate other manufacturers’
UV/IR flame detectors. Other manufacturers’ UV/IR Test Lamps used
to test Honeywell Analytics Detectors because Honeywell Analytics
Detectors are designed to REJECT pulsing test lights as false alarm
sources.

Source Output Energy: The ultraviolet (UV) source bulb and gold-plated
infrared (IR) reflector lamp generates modulated radiant spectral energy in
UV and IR wavelengths causing the Detector to ALARM.
Weight and Size: 4.81 in. diameter x 4.40 in. high and 4 pounds (appro x.).
Housing: Copper-free aluminum (less than 0.4%) with powder coated paint
finish. FM-Approved Explosion-Proof, Class I, Div. 1 & 2, Groups B, C, D;
Class II, Div. 1 & 2, Groups E, F, & G, and Class III, NEMA 3, 4 Weather-
proof, Tamper-Resistant Ex d IIB + H2 IP66.
Temperature Range: -30 to +85 C, (-22 to +185 F) Operating and Storage.
Electrical Connections: To recharge the Test Lamp’s internal 12 VDC
battery pack, unscrew the top housing cover and connect the AC/DC wall
converter supplied by Honeywell Analytics. Plug the 110/220 VAC wall
charger into a standard 120/220 -volt AC receptacle. (Use only the Honeywell
Analytics AC/DC wall converter, part number PSU-15, which supplies
regulated 15 VDC at 1.33 amps.)
Warranty: One year from date of purchase.

Notes:
1. Battery Recharging – Recharge the internal battery pack with
Honeywell Analytics’ Part No. PSU-15 100 – 240 VAC wall charger
(see above) that includes worldwide interchangeable receptacle
plugs. A fully charged battery pack should test typical ly up to 20
Detectors.
2. FOV Reduction - To reduce the Tester's radiated field -of-view (FOV)
for selectively testing Detectors, secure one cylindrical tube around
the Tester's front lid. Lengthening the tube correspondingly reduces
the Test Lamp’s radiated energy field-of-view.

3. CAUTION - When the UV source bulb is on, it glows with a faint

bluish-green light in the visible and relatively intense invisible UV in
the 180 to 240 nm spectral band. Do NOT stare directly at the UV
bulb for prolonged periods of time since it produces invisible short-
band UV energy. Wear glasses or protective goggles for prolonged
observation of any UV source such as an arc welder, mercury vapor
lamp, quartz-halogen lamp, etc.
4. Replaceable Parts - The IR gold-plated reflector lamp, UV source
bulb, and nickel-metal hydride battery pack are user replaceable plug -
in parts. If these parts fail, contact Honeywell Analytics Customer
Service for information on ordering replaceable parts.

Instruction for Using and Maintaining the FT -2145 UV/IR Test Lamp

CAUTION: Avoid looking directly into the Test Lamp when it

is operating!

The FT-2145 Test Lamp, which replaces the obsolete FT-2045, only will test
the Honeywell Analytics SS2, SS3, SS4 and SF-16 Detectors. This Test
Lamp will not calibrate or change the configuration of the Detectors in test. It
generates modulated radiant spectral energy in UV and IR wavelengths
causing the Detector to ALARM.

Testing a Detector:
1. Hold the Test Lamp approximately 2 -12 feet (0.6-3.6 meters) directly
in front of the Detector. Distances may vary with ambient light levels
especially in outdoor installations. Some practice may be required to
find the optimum distance.
2. Depress the pushbutton switch to turn ON the Test Lamp and the
Test Lamp’s gold -plated reflector lamp source will flash on and off
repeatedly and its UV source bulb will illuminate.
3. Hold steady for about 3 -6 seconds or until the Detector goes into
ALARM (red LEDs on the Detector will illuminate – for the SS3, one
red LED will illuminate and the ALARM relay will activate).
4. Turn OFF the Test Lamp by depressing the pushbutton switch.
5. Repeat the procedure for testing “end -to-end” other FSC UV/IR Multi-
Spectrum Detectors.

Charging the Test Lamp:

The Test Lamp has a rechargeable metal nickel hydride battery pack and will
require charging after extended use. A 110 / 220 VAC wall charger with
interchangeable receptacle plugs for worldwide use is supplied with the Test
Lamp. To charging the battery pack, the housing window lens cover must be
removed from the Test Lamp. This procedure MUST be done in a non -
hazardous area. To charge the battery pack:
a. Unscrew the front housing window lens cover counterclockwise and
remove it.
b. Make certain that the Test Lamp is OFF or the battery pack will not
charge.
c. Plug the wall charger’s output connector into the power receptacle in
the front faceplate of the Test Lamp.

 OPERATOR MANUAL // ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

d. Plug the wall charger into an AC power outlet; the red LED on the
face of the Test Lamp will turn on.
e. Allow 3 to 4 hours for complete charging. Use ONLY the wall charger
supplied by Honeywell Analytics.

M aintenance:
1. Make certain that the Test Lamp is fully charged before each use.
2. Handle the Test Lamp with care since both the UV bulb and IR gold -
plated reflector lamp have fragile elements that can be damaged or
broken if mishandled.
3. Always keep the Test Lamp turned OFF when not is use in order to
conserve the battery charge and extend the life of the reflector lamp.
4. When charging the Test Lamp, make certain that the pushbutton
switch pressed OFF or the battery will not charge.
5. A fully charged Test Lamp typically should supply sufficient radiant
energy up to 20 detectors.

6. Consult the manufacturer for dimensional information on the

flameproof joint specifications

WARNING – Potential electrostatic charge; wipe the enclosure

only with a damp cloth.

WARNING – Do not open when a flammable atmosphere is

present.
