2Introduction
This manual describes the Spyglass Flame Simulators that are part of the Spyglass family of
products. Three different models of simulator are available for testing each type of Spyglass
Detector (IR3, IR3-H2 and UV-IR). Spyglass Flame Simulators provide fast and convenient means for
periodic flame detector and end-to-end system verification in the field without removing the detector
from the location or hazardous area. Maintenance costs are therefore reduced.
Spyglass Flame Simulators emit either IR or UV - IR radiation (according to the model) in a special
electromagnetic radiation pattern which simulates a fire to the detectors. The simulators are
lightweight, easy to use, with testing distances of up to 23 ft. (7m). The IR3 version is capable of
more than 1000 activations between battery charging. Spyglass Flame Simulators are ATEX
approved for use in hazardous Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, Zone 22 areas.
Each simulator kit contains a carrying case, simulator, carrying strap, battery charger, user manual,
Allen key and a tool for removing the simulator rear cover.

3Operation
3.1 Flame simulator activation
•Testing using a flame simulator to simulate a fire to the detector may activate alarms
or extinguishing systems in the area unless disabled/inhibited/bypassed.
•All tests should be coordinated, and if
needed, disconnect/disable the alarm
and/or the extinguishing systems before the test, and reconnect after the test.
1. Remove simulator from the case and verify the simulator battery is charged.
2. Ensure use of the correct flame simulator model according to the detector type.
3. Make sure you are testing within the specified distance, according to the detector sensitivity.
See Table 1 below.
4. Point the flame simulator at center of detector by aligning the front and back aiming sights
located on the top of the simulator (3).
5. The simulator should be aimed within +/- 30⁰from the horizontal and vertical center line axis of
the detector.
6. Press the push button (4) to activate, notice the flashing green LED. Wait for the flame detector
to enter into alarm (typically 10 seconds). Go to the next detector and repeat the test.

the signal from the
Simulator
1. Check you are within the specified
distance from the detector according to
the detector’s sensitivity setting.
2. Check detector is powered and
operational.
3. Check simulator window is clean.
4. Check detector window is clean, and
not in fault or indicating 2mA output to
the panel indicating a dirty window.
Note: Any alarm delay set in the detector
will require the simulator to be aimed at
the detector for that period plus up to 10
more seconds.
