Description 
The Model 3140 simulates a UV/IR flame 
signature by emitting a steady state UV signal 
and a modulated IR signal at a flicker frequency 
of 5 to 10 Hz. This simulation will cause the 
Model 3100 flame detector to report an alarm. 
Like the  Model 3100 detector the 3140 is 
designed for use in Hazardous environments.  
 
The Model 3140 is intended for use in those 
applications where regular testing, as required 
by NFPA 72, is performed or where the use of 
a real fire is impractical. The 3140 is rated over 
a wide operating temperature range for those 
applications where Flammable materials may 
be present. 
Features 
• 
Wide operating temperature range. 
• 
Surfaces are smooth, non-shedding, and 
scuff resistant. 
• 
Conforms to the operational specification 
for the Model 3100 Flame Detector. 
• 
Generates an Industry Standard UV/IR 
Signature for use with a variety of devices. 
• 
Uses commercially available 9-volt batteries 
(not a proprietary power module).

Red LED 
A flashing LED indicates Operation 
Spectral 
Emission 
Radiant UV energy in the 185 to 
260 nm band and IR energy at 880 
nm. 
 
Basic Operation 
Hold the Tester between 2 and 20 feet from the 
Detector to be tested. Aim the Tester at the 
Detector and press the button. The Red LED 
will flash on and off and after approximately 3 
seconds the detector will report an alarm. Note 
that the detector must be in normal operation 
(see the Detector's User Manual).
