SHORT DESCRIPTION
Abstract
The Advanced Discovery System (short: ADICOS) detects fire scenarios early in an industrial
environment. It incorporates various independent detector units that make it possible to realiably
detect the detection goal stipulated during planning through appropriate configuration and
parameterization.
The detector units are connected with a central unit through the ADICOS M-Bus. The central
unit makes it possible to supply power to and parameterize each individual detector and stores
all sensor data for statistical evaluations.
In combination with the SOLO 760 battery baton from the company No Climb Products Ltd.
(detectortesters.com), the ADICOS HTL-2 serves as a test device for all ADICOS detectors of
the type HOTSPOT.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
4.2 Function
In combination with the SOLO 760 battery baton from
the company No Climb Products Ltd., ADICOS HTL-
2 makes it possible to easily trigger tests and check
the functions of ADICOS infrared detectors of the
type HOTSPOT in installation situations in industrial
equipment.
For this purpose, its hot plate, which is regulated
to maintain a temperature of 100 ... 105 °C, is
pressed against the opcits of the HOTSPOT detec-
tor to be tested, meaning that the entire view range
of the detector sensor is homogenously stimulated.
4.3 Display and control elements
HTL control panel
Operating switch The operating switch is located in the control
panel of the HTL-2 and can be used to turn the
device on and off.
Operating LED The operating LED is located to the left above
the operating switch in the control panel. It
shines green when the HTL-2 is operated and
blinks when the battery is low.
Heating LED The heating LED is located to the right above
the operating switch in the control panel. It
shines red when the heating function of the
HTL-2 is active.

for several seconds.
►Turn off HTL-2 after testing.
Use the operating switch to do so (position O)
7.3 Evaluating the detector test
Depending on the parameterization of the detector, the test is successful if an alarm is triggered
and if the “Max T” thermal image, which displays the highest temperature of every pixel, uni-
formly displays the temperature of the HTL hot plate after the test. To do this...
