Safety Warnings

Do not use the HST test tool in any area where flammable gas is present.

The HST test tool is a heat producing device; keep away from skin, body parts, and flammable materials.

Do not leave unit unattended. Always wear safety glasses, appropriate gloves, and other personal

protective equipment when using the tool.

The HST utilizes Li-Ion batteries; refer to the battery and charger section of this manual before charging

or use. Do not make any changes to the charger, charger accessories or connectors, as this might cause

electrical short, fire or over-heating during charging.

Use special caution when working with Li-Ion cells, they are sensitive to charging

characteristics and should not be mishandled.

oNever leave a charging battery unattended

oDo not set battery or charger on wood, carpet, or any other flammable surface

oUse only charger supplied, do not alter charger or battery

oLi-Ion cells are sensitive to charging characteristics and can be dangerous if

mishandled

oRead and understand all instructions before use

When using pole-mounted tools overhead, ensure that poles are locked and secure. Consult Skinner

Innovations about where to obtain compatible poles.

Barricade areas around and below test areas so that persons not involved with testing will not enter the

work area where overhead testing is taking place.

Always inspect poles, batteries, battery case, and HST test head for damage prior to each use. If any

damage is noted during this check, remove from service immediately, and have the unit serviced.

and Thermal Switches

Operation (For operation with Rate Control option, see Appendix B)

1. Ensure bypasses are in place, including disabling of any fire suppression systems.

2. Ensure that HST is correct temperature range for detectors to be tested. If using multi-

temperature HST, ensure that correct temperature setting is selected.

3. Turn on HST by pressing the power button. The indicator light will turn on steady until temp

setting is reached.

4. Place tool over the sensor to be tested

5. Wait for sensor to trip. When the indicator light begins to cycle off and on, the tool has

reached its calibrated set point. (If light does not cycle and stays off for more than 30 seconds,

battery may require recharging) After a preset timeout period, indicator light will flash at a fast

rate and heating unit will turn off. To reset unit, press power button off and on again.

6. After HST has reached its set point temperature, the temperature will hold steady for 5

minutes.

7.Next the heat will turn off for 1 minute (detector should auto-reset during this off-time)

before heat is again turned on allowing user to verify the set point trip of the heat detector.

(For testing with Rate Control option, see Appendix B)

8. Heat is turned off for 1 minute then on again for 3 more cycles.

9. Repeat process for each device to be tested.

Note: If the HST is not cooled down between tests, the sensor to be tested will be heated at a

much faster rate. This faster rate of heating could cause the rate compensated fire detector to trip at a

temperature lower than the stated set point on the sensor. See Appendix A for more information.

HST Series Heat Detector Tester

For Rate Compensated Fire Detectors

and Thermal Switches

Remote Temperature Output see appendix A

1. Connect HST to digital voltmeter using special connection cable

Requires 1.5 meter cable part number HST-A5-CBL (sold separately). For longer distance use

with 8.3 meter extension cable part number HST-EXT-CBL.

2. Read temperature directly from voltmeter.

Example: 0.325vdc = 325 degrees F

Notes on Remote Temp Output (also see appendix A):

1. If sensor trips lower than the manufacturer’s set point:

a.) Remember that some detectors are Rate Compensated. The actual trip point will vary

depending ambient temperature and the rate of temperature rise.

2. If sensor does not trip:

a.) Check sensor shell for damage. Small dings, dents, and overheating can shift the set point.

b.) Let sensor cool down, then place fully heated tester onto sensor

c.) If using multi-temperature tester, try turning up to next temp setting.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

Indicator light does not

turn on

If indicator light stays off for over

60 seconds, power may be off or

battery may require recharging

1. Push power button

2. Recharge battery

Indicator light on, unit

heating, but sensor is not

tripping

1. Sensor set point is higher than

the set point of the HST

2. Detector is damaged

3.HST tester model incorrect for

detector

Sensor/detector may be damaged

Visually check sensor for damage, including

signs of overheating.

1. Use tool with proper set point

2. Place fully heated tool onto ambient

temperature sensor. If sensor trips, its set

point may have shifted (a common result of

overheating or other damage)

3. Confirm HST model is matches detector

4. Try using the tester on a known working

sensor

Indicator light flashing at

2-blink rate Heater fault

1. Charge battery

2. Return for service

Indicator light flashing at

3-blink rate

Internal sensor has detected a

failure Return for service

Indicator light flashing at

4-blink rate

Over temperature alarm the

tester is above the selected set

point temp

(This will occur when changing

from a high temp setting to a

lower temp setting)

1. Allow unit to cool down to set point

temperature

2. Reset by pressing power button off and then

restarting

Indicator light flashing on

and off quickly Internal safety timer has timed out

Reset by pressing power button off and then

restarting
