SECTION 2: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1BasicResponseTest
It is recommended that two persons perform the testing procedure. One should operate the Test Lamp,
while the other set up the controllers and or Fire Detector to observe the response of the system to the
Test Lamp.
The first step in testing a UV/IR system is to place the controller in bypass mode. Activate the Test Lamp
by pressing the magnetic push button switch and direct the centre of the beam to the window of the
detector from a distance not greater than five feet. Observe the current output and/ or changing of state of
the controller relay. When the Fire Detector fully detects the beam from the Test Lamp a current output
20 mA will be observed and the state of the controller’s alarm relay will change.
If using a UV/IR stand alone detector, measure the current output and observe the Red LED. Monitor
changes in the state of unit’s alarm relay, if a relayed unit is being used. When the Fire Detector fully
detects the beam from the Test Lamp, a current output of 20 mA will be seen for Analog units and the
state of the alarm relay will change for Relayed units. The Red LED will flash to indicate the simulated
fire.
If the above test does not produce desired results (20 mA output current or change in the state of the
Alarm relay), there may be a problem with the wiring or the battery pack inside the Test Lamp enclosure
may be depleted. Clean all optical surfaces, recharge the battery if necessary and repeat the test. Contact
the manufacturer immediately, if the Fire Detector still does not respond.
2.2SystemResponseTest
It is important to verify system response to a fire. System response includes relay and analog output
activation. This test is performed with the controller on-line, therefore it is important to disable all
external response devices and shut-downs. Utilize the Test Lamp as described above and verify that the
controller outputs become active as programmed. Carefully verify analog output response and relay
response. Remember to enable the external response devices after the test.
2.3Troubleshoot
The Test Lamp is not designed to be repaired in the field. If the detector does not respond to the Test
Lamp as described, check the batteries and charge or replace as necessary. If the problem persists please
contact our service department to try and resolve the issue over the phone. If the issue cannot be solved
over the phone, the Test Lamp may have to be returned to the factory for repair. Refer to “How to Return
Equipment”.

2.5HowtoReturnEquipment
A Material Return Authorization number is required in order to return equipment. Please contact Net
Safety Monitoring at (403) 219-0688, before returning equipment or consult our Service Department to
possibly avoid returning equipment.
If you are required to return equipment, include the following information:
1. A Material Return Authorization number (provided over the phone to you by Net Safety).
2. A detailed description of the problem. The more specific you are regarding the problem, the
quicker our Service Department can determine and correct the problem.
3. A company name, contact name and telephone number.
4. A purchase order, from your company, authorizing repairs or request for quote.
5. Ship all equipment, prepaid to: Net Safety Monitoring Inc.,
2721 Hopewell Place NE,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T1Y 7J7
6. Mark all packages: RETURN for REPAIR.
7. Waybills, for shipment outside Canada, must state: Equipment being returned for repair
All charges to be billed to the sender
Ensure a duplicate copy of the packing slip is enclosed inside the box indicating item 1 – 4 along with the
courier and account number for returning the goods.
Pack items to protect them from damage and use anti-static bags or aluminum-backed cardboard as
protection from electro-static discharge.
ALL equipment must be shipped prepaid. Collect shipments will not be accepted.

Appendix
Appendix A: Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD)
Definition: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer, between bodies, of an electrostatic charge
caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field.
The most common cause of ESD is physical contact. Touching an object can cause a discharge of
electrostatic energy—ESD! If the charge is sufficient and occurs near electronic components, it can
damage or destroy those components. In some cases, damage is instantaneous and an immediate
malfunction occurs. However, symptoms are not always immediate—performance may be marginal or
seemingly normal for an indefinite period of time, followed by a sudden failure.
To eliminate potential ESD damage, review the following guidelines:
•Handle boards by metal shields—taking care not to touch electronic components.
•Wear grounded wrist or foot straps, ESD shoes or heel grounders to dissipate unwanted static
energy.
•Prior to handling boards, dispel any charge in your body or equipment.
•Ensure all components are transported and stored in static safe packaging
•When returning boards, carefully package in the original carton and static protective wrapping
•Ensure ALL personnel are educated and trained in ESD Control Procedures
In general, exercise accepted and proven precautions normally observed when handling electrostatic
sensitive devices. A warning label is placed on the packaging, identifying product using electrostatic
sensitive semiconductor devices.
