ABSTRACT Abstract The Advanced Discovery System (in short: ADICOS) is used for early detection of fire scenarios in the industrial environment. It comprises different, independent detector units that enable interference-resistant fulfillment of the detection objective defined during planning via suitable layout and parameterization. The detector units are connected using the ADICOS M-bus to a central unit, which enables voltage supply and parameterization of every individual detector, and which stores all sensor data for statistical analyses. The is used in combination with the SOLO 760 battery rack from the company No Climb Products Ltd. (detectortesters.com) as tester for all ADICOS detectors of the type GSME. 430-2410-101 EN10 I

Structure and function 4.2 Function The enables safe smoldering of GTL fire spirals for the generation of typical fire gases. In combination with the SOLO 760 battery rack with telescopic rod, this fire gases can be used for controlled test triggering of ADICOS fire gas detectors of the type GSME in installation situations in industrial systems. For this purpose, the is ignited before entering the installation to be tested, the fire spiral within the fire chamber and the fan unit with the SOLO 760 connected battery rod. If the gas - hopper of the GTL-2 now pressed against the front of an ADICOS GSME, carries the air flow generated by the fan unit inside the GTL-2 released gases into the detector and triggers an alarm. 430-2410-101 EN10 9
Commissioning preparation 5 Commissioning preparation DANGER! The works with a controlled combustion. Improper use can cause fires and explosions. Do not open housing inside industrial systems! 5.1 Inserting the ember filter The GTL ember filter prevents ember and hot ashes escaping during operation. As the filter clogs during operation with fire deposits, the ember filter of the GTL-2 must be replaced prior to every use. A clogged ember filter obstructs proper test gas emission which can lead to faulty test results. Inserting/replacing the ember filter 1 Unscrew the ember filter holder (union nut) from the threaded connection in the GTL cover counterclockwise To facilitate this step, press and compress the gas funnel against the GTL cover with the free hand. 2 Remove and dispose of the used ember filter 3 Insert the new ember filter straight into the ember filter holder 4 Screw the ember filter holder with the new ember filter clockwise on the threaded connection in the GTL cover and tighten firmly 10 430-2410-101 EN10
Commissioning preparation 5.2 Inserting the fire spiral GTL fire spirals are used as combustible material for the generation of test gases for the detector test.
