Page 4: Introduction
Introduction Introduction General Application tests are designed to determine detector locations, detector type and parameter sets in difficult environments. The danger or alarm information provided by the fire control panel are insufficient to this purpose. During such tests it is essential to obtain detailed information on the sensor signals, which can, for example, be recorded with the Sinteso™... -
Page 5: Acceptance Test Fire
Introduction This document should therefore be regarded as a guideline. The fire size specifications are reliable if such factors as room dimensions and exchange of air in the room are taken into account. When this document is revised in the future, it is, however, important that the experience gained from your practical tests in the field is incorporated. -
Page 6: Location
Introduction Open plastic fire (TF4) Optical detectors do not react very effectively to this acceptance test fire. The customer experiences a large fire and a late reaction of the smoke detectors. -> This acceptance test fire should not be used for testing detectors which only respond to smoke. -
Page 7: Basic Rules
Introduction 1.3.4 Basic rules The following must be observed during an acceptance test fire: Never carry out acceptance test fires with unknown combustible materials. Always first employ a known test fire procedure. Whenever possible use the aerosol generator SG3000. When possible avoid using the following test fires as they generate pollutants and sometimes toxic gases: Open plastic fires (polyurethane mats) –... -
Page 8: Aerosol Generator (Sg3000)
Infrastructure Device: SG3000 and CO cylinder Combustible material: Liquid paraffin M82 Order from: Siemens S.A.S ZI-617, rue Fourny BP 20 78531 Buc / France Auxiliaries: None Safety: No precautions necessary Fig. 1... -
Page 9: Duration Of Test
Aerosol generator (SG3000) Duration of test During this type of acceptance test fire the aerosol concentration increases continuously. Normally the test is left to run until the detectors trigger an alarm. It should, however, be taken into account that the maximum duration of aerosol production by the device is limited to six minutes. -
Page 10: Test Procedure
Aerosol generator (SG3000) Test procedure Check whether the equipment has sufficient liquid paraffin (if not top it up). Connect the remote control to the aerosol generator. Connect the CO to the generator with the quick-action connector and set the pressure to 0.75 bar. Connect the aerosol generator and heating element (chimney) to the mains supply and switch on ->... -
Page 11: Pyrolitic Smoldering Fire (Tf2)
Pyrolitic smoldering fire (TF2) Pyrolitic smoldering fire (TF2) General During this type of acceptance test fire several beech wood sticks are heated on a hotplate. This produces mainly visible, light-colored smoke and an almost undetectable increase in temperature. Infrastructure Heat source: Hotplate, diameter: approx. -
Page 12: Combustible Material
Pyrolitic smoldering fire (TF2) Combustible material The zone factor is determined on the basis of the area of the room (not to be confused with the monitoring area per detector) and the room height (Figure 3). This zone factor can then be used to determine the number of sticks required for the test as shown in Table 3. -
Page 13: Test Procedure
Pyrolitic smoldering fire (TF2) Example: Room height 3.5m Room area 80m Air exchanged 5 times/h Mounted detector = FDO241 with parameter set 2 / Robust 1) Zone factor according to Figure 3 -> 4 2) Determine required number of sticks in Table 3 ->... -
Page 14: Open Plastic Fire (Tf4)
Open plastic fire (TF4) Open plastic fire (TF4) General Polyurethane mats are ignited during this type of acceptance test fire. The result is considerable heat development with visible, dark smoke. Infrastructure Heat source: Lighting with a match Combustible material: Polyurethane soft foam without flame-resistant additives, density 20kg/m , foamed on the basis of ether polyoles, mat size 500x500x20mm. -

Open plastic fire (TF4) Combustible material The zone factor is determined on the basis of the area of the room (not to be confused with the monitoring area per detector) and the room height (Figure 5). This zone factor can then be used to determine the number of mats required for the test as shown in Table 4. -

Open plastic fire (TF4) Room height 7m Example: Room area 80m Air exchanged 5 times/h Mounted detector = FDOOT241 with parameter set 6 / Fast Response 1) Zone factor according to Figure 5 -> 4 2) Number of polyurethane mats according to Table 4 ->... -
Page 17: Combustible Liquid Fire (Tf6)
Combustible liquid fire (TF6) Combustible liquid fire (TF6) General A certain amount of spirit (ethyl alcohol) is ignited for this type of acceptance test fire. The result is a smokeless fire with powerful heat development. Infrastructure Heat source: Lighting with a match Combustible material: Spirit containing at least 90% ethyl alcohol (C Auxiliaries:... -
Page 18: Heat Detector
Combustible liquid fire (TF6) 5.3.1 Heat detector The Siemens heat detectors trigger an alarm at temperatures ranging from approx. C to 85 C. In addition, depending on the parameter set, the FDT241 and FDT221 react to a rapid increase in temperature. -
Page 19: Test Procedure
Combustible liquid fire (TF6) Table 6 can be used to determine the required fire size (surface area of the container) and the amount of ethyl alcohol. The next section describes what is meant by "Minimum room height". Maximum distance Container size Quantity of Minimum detector to fire... -
Page 20: Notes
Combustible liquid fire (TF6) Notes 5.5.1 Test fire for heat detectors This acceptance test fire should be avoided as far as possible to prevent potential hazards. Perform point detector tests with the detector tester RE6T. When testing heat detectors the ceiling construction and the positioning of detectors play a major role. -
