WARNING

Please read this guide fully before attempting to operate the unit.

1.0 Introduction

This Guide describes the use of the Kidde Fire Protection Hot Wire Test Box (part number 1-53836-

K237) to test aspirating smoke detection systems. The unit provides 6V AC output from 220-240V AC

mains supply. High current at low voltage is passed through a cable in order to heat it, which causes

its insulation to burn giving off smoke. A timer is incorporated to provide a selectable burn period of

up to 3 minutes. The timer also helps to prevent the unit being inadvertently left on for an extended

period. The unit must never be left on unattended.

The unit must be operated for no more than three (3) minutes continuously and must be left off

immediately after operating for a period of at least six (6) minutes to allow it to cool.

The unit is protected against over-temperatures by a thermal switch. Once tripped, the thermal switch

will not allow operation for an extended period (up to an hour) regardless of power being present or

not. The thermal switch cannot be by-passed or reset manually.
