Simplex 4098-9839 Smoke Detector Data Reader Operating Instructions

Cautions and Warnings the Data in Memory Smoke Detector Data Reader Instructions NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX PRODUCT THAT APPEARS Upon unpacking your Simplex product inspect the contents of the for shipping damage If damage is apparent immediately file a claim the carrier and notify Simplex Photoelectric Smoke Detectors output diagnostic data encoded in visible LED pulse The encoded data provides a present status indication to testing and inspection The 4098 9839 Data Reader hand held test is used to read display store and download diagnostic data The data is battery powered lightweight and easy to read and interpret It is of storing test data for downloading to the Test and Inspection System Memory is non volatile allowing the reader to be powered without losing data The reader decodes a detector diagnostic data and immediate notification if the detector is outside its calibration limit reader also has the capability to detect and indicate low voltage of its 9V not depress all push buttons on the data reader this can clear the memory is applied via an ON OFF switch When powered ON or by pressing the button the reader goes into scan mode indicated by an illuminated red Point the reader to the appropriate detector LED and bring it to within of the detector When a valid reading is made the green LED is When the diagnostic data contains a trouble message the red LED illuminated otherwise only the green LED is illuminated scan detectors that are located in inaccessible areas attach the pole mounting provided to the reader With the bracket mounted to the reader it can attached to a testing pole See Figure 2 for mounting instructions Refer to Table 4 for a description of trouble flags and other diagnostic 1 Status Descriptions for LED Lights LED LED is in scan mode reading with no trouble condition reading with trouble condition indicates illuminated LED m indicates LEDs that are OFF three digit integer number is displayed to indicate the memory position that is for the next storage event When a valid reading is made and the LED is ON the data can be stored into non volatile memory for later off downloading To store the data press the STORE button and hold it down approximately two seconds until the green LED turns OFF and the memory increments to the next number To increment the memory counter a valid reading hold the STORE button down for approximately two until the counter increments to the next number This loads the memory with all zeros is a registered trademark of Simplex Time Recorder Co by one or more of

of the memory is the data in the non volatile memory can be downloaded through the port located on the right side of the data reader A serial cable must the reader to a computer with upload capabilities The data is by depressing the D L button If the reader is holding a valid and the green LED is lit hold down the D L button for approximately seconds This is to protect against inadvertent clearing of the last reading if has not been stored clear the non volatile memory power down the data reader then while both the STORE and D L buttons power up the reader Hold down buttons until the display indicates on the memory counter This takes several seconds display is a Liquid Crystal Display with two rows of 16 characters of the display are shown below in Figure 1 When a valid
