INTRODUCTION
The Model T110 Test Source from
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., is
designed specifically for on-site testing
of the S121 and S122 Flame Detectors.
When the plate with the guide is attached,
the T110 is self-aligning and checks
both the sensitivity and response time of
the detectors. The Test Source consists
of a module in a cradle. The module can
be held by hand up to the detector to be
tested or can be fastened to the end of
an extendable pole with an adapter and
then held up against the detector.
This Test Source is approved by
BASEEFA for use in all zone 1 and
zone 2 areas with gases rated T1 and
T4. Approval for zone 0 areas is not
available for this equipment; however,
permission for such use may be
obtained on a site-by-site basis.
The Test Source has a polycarbonate
housing approved for increased safety.
It contains a lamp that is electrically
pulsed by an intrinsically safe circuit.
Infrared energy from the lamp is
focused on the detector through a
Fresnel lens. The unit is powered by
either a carbon zinc or nickel cadmium
battery.
The large rotary switch knob on the
front of the unit (See Figure 1) is used
to turn the Test Source on and off. The
knob is also used to select the correct
sensitivity level for testing either S121
(Sxx1) or S122 (Sxx2).
The extendable pole that can be used
with the Test Source comes in 4 foot, 4
inch sections that slot into each other
and are connected to the Tl10 with the
Extendable Pole Adapter (See Figure
2). The maximum recommended length
of the pole is three sections (approxi-
mately 13 feet).

MAINTENANCE
Battery Indicator
A white flashing light seen through the
eye of the T110 indicates that the Test
Source unit is working normally. A
flashing red LED indicates low battery
voltage; a steady red LED indicates
extremely low battery voltage. If both
the white light and the red LED are off,
the battery is presumed to be dead.
OPERATION
If the detector to be checked is out of
reach, fasten as many poles as neces-
sary (up to three) to reach the detector.
Select the correct rotary switch setting
for the detector (See Figure 1). Hold the
T110 in front of the detector, aligning
the “eye” (See Figure 3). In 6-20
seconds the detector alarm LED should
come on, indicating that the detector
being tested has responded. Lower the
Test Source and turn the rotary switch
to the OFF position.

and remove the lid. Unclip the old
battery from the holder and replace with
the new battery. Replace the lid.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to
change the battery in
a hazardous area.

Battery Change
The battery in the T110 should be
changed whenever the indicator lights
described in Battery Indicator above
signal a low or nonexistent voltage.
CAUTION: Do not use alkaline
batteries in the T110 Test Source.
Nickel cadmium batteries are recom-
mended in preference to zinc carbon
batteries because of their longer life
(See Battery Life in TECHNICAL
DATA above), and only nickel cadmium
batteries are permitted by BASEEFA for
hazardous areas.
Insert the new battery only when in a
safe area. Remove the four corner
screws on the front cover of the module
