Apollo Flame Sensor Test Unit and Case (29600-226)

The Apollo Flame Sensor Test Unit and Case (29600-226) enables engineers and maintenance personnel to test flame detectors quickly and safely without the need to create a real flame. Designed specifically for commissioning, routine maintenance, and functional testing, the unit simulates the optical characteristics of a flame, making users able to verify detector operation while keeping a safe working environment.

The test unit generates a wide range of optical output signals by modulating a filament lamp to reproduce the effects of a real flame. As a result, technicians can accurately test multiple types of flame detectors and confirm correct system operation without creating fire hazards.

Furthermore, the mobile design incorporates a rechargeable battery pack, making the unit fitting to use across a variety of industrial, marine, Offshore, and challenging area installations. Adjustable output options allow users to select different light intensities and signal patterns to match specific detector technologies and testing requirements.
