EN 54-10 infrared and ultraviolet flame detectors Inspection apparatus

1. Product Introduction

This EN 54-10 UV/IR Flame Detector Tester / Test Lamp / Inspection Apparatus is a professional functional testing device designed for the field and laboratory testing of point flame detectors (including UV, single/dual/triple-band IR, UV/IR combinations, and multispectral types). It accurately simulates flame radiation signals and supports core tests such as response threshold testing, consistency testing, repeatability testing, orientation testing, power-on testing, power supply parameter fluctuation testing, and ambient light interference testing.

This equipment strictly complies with the test requirements for response thresholds, consistency, repeatability, orientation, power supply, power fluctuations, and ambient light interference under GB 12791-2006 "Point-type Ultraviolet Flame Detectors" (clauses 4.2~4.7), GB 15631-2008 "Special Fire Detectors" (point-type infrared/infrared-ultraviolet part, clauses 5.2.2~5.2.7), and EN 54-10:2002 + A1:2005 "Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems - Part 10: Flame Detectors - Point-type Detectors". It is also compatible with the functional verification of point-type flame detectors under the international equivalent standard ISO 7240-10 and similar standards such as FM 3260.

Employing a high-precision radiation simulation source, this portable, rechargeable battery-powered flame detector is easy to operate, safe, and reliable. It is suitable for regular maintenance, installation, commissioning, performance verification, and compliance certification testing of flame detectors in hazardous industrial areas, petrochemical plants, warehouses, airports, tunnels, and other locations. It is an ideal tool for fire alarm system maintenance personnel, ensuring that the detectors reliably respond to real flames and effectively resist false alarm interference.
