1.3 Description
The TL105 is a battery operated rechargeable test lamp specifically designed to tes t General
Monitors’ UV, UV/IR, Digital Frequency IR, and Multi-Spectral IR flame detectors. The tes t lamp
provides a high-energy, broadband radiation source that emits suffic ient energy in b ot h t he
ultraviolet and infrared spectra to activate UV and/or IR detectors. To simulate the flickeri ng of
a f ire, the test lamp automatically flashes at various selectable rates.
1.4 Upon Receiving
TL105 Lamp leaves the factory with the battery disconnected. The customer must connect and
fully charge the battery before use.If you connect the battery and activate the push button, the
RED LED will stay on for 60 seconds. It will continue to do so until the battery has been fully
charged.
Since the TL105 goes to fault mode when a charger is plugging in and no battery is present,
you must plug in the battery before the charger.
Make sure the lens and the reflector are kept clean from debris and fingerprints. Grease on the
window will absorb and prevent the required energy from reaching the flame detector.
Please f ollow the steps outlined below to connect the battery:
•Loosen the Set Screw on the Cap.
•Unscrew the Cap counterclockwise and remove it from the Body.
•Remove the two screws holding Reflector on the Body.
•Pull the Ref lector off to reveal a 4-Pin Connector on the PC Board.
•Plug the 4 wire Connector coming from the Body into the 4 -Pin Connector on the PC
board . The pins on the connector align one way only.
•Reposition the Reflector on the Body and tighten 2 screws to hold the Reflector on the
Body.
•Reinstall the Cap to the TL105 Body by screwing it on clockwise.
•Tighten the Set Screw on the Cap.
•Follow Section 5.3 in the TL105 Instruction Manual to recharge the battery.
NOTE: If replacing the battery, it is first required to remove the retainer plate prior to removal of
the battery. Ensure the battery retainer plate is reinstalled prior t o reas semb ling the
unit.
