plug connector and the other end to a 120VAC
electrical outlet.
3. Turn the AC source switch on. The circulating fan
starts.
4. Allow five minutes for warm-up to ensure stability
of the testing circuits.
5. Open the top cover and locate the wire leads and
clip.

choosethe typeof detector(ION orPHOTO) which
is to be tested.
8. Use the voltage adjustment knob to adjust the
voltageto agreewith theratedvoltage ofthe detec-
torbeing tested(for SLK-12use 17.0 VDC).

SPECIFICATIONS
The Hochiki America TSA-B110 Smoke Detector Sen-
sitivityTesteris designedfor efficientand accuratetest-
ing of the sensitivity of smoke detectors. For ease of
use in field applications the tester is easy to transport
andcompact. Two densitometercircuits allowtheTSA-
B110 Smoke Detector Sensitivity Tester to test both
ionizationand photoelectricsmoke detectors.
TheTSA-B110 SmokeDetector SensitivityTester isa

beused inatemperaturerangeof50°Fto 86°F.Sudden
jarring or dropping of the TSA-B110 may damage the
unit. Operation will be affected if proper care is not
taken.
•Tests the sensitivity of Hochiki's previous model
photoelectric and ionization smoke detectors.
•Lightweight and portable for easy use in the field.
•Obscuration/sensitivity testing similar to that of a
UL 268 Smoke Box.
•Voltage Adjustment Knob easily changes tester
voltageto therated voltageofthe detector.
•Indicator lamp automatically lights at completion
oftesting.

OPERATION, continued
Testing a Detector
10. Place a detector to be tested into the base in the sensitivity tester’s smoke chamber and close the lid.
11. Insert an ignited punk stick into the smoke-producing chamber on the lower right side. When the detector
alarms, an indicator lamp lights, the meter locks, and a buzzer sounds.
12. Observe the value indicated by the meter (a holding circuit locks the meter in place for about one minute).
13. Remove the punk stick and open the top cover.
14. Remove the detector. Smoke will be exhausted and the densitometer meter will reset to “0”. The lamp and
buzzer function will clear at this time.
