THORN SECURUTY T110 IR TEST SOURCE BASEEFA 03ATEX0270X

The THORN SECURITY T110 is a professional, intrinsically safe Infrared (IR) test source designed for the functional testing and verification of passive infrared (PIR) and combined (PIR+MW) intrusion detectors. Its primary purpose is to ensure that security sensors are operational and correctly detecting infrared signatures without triggering alarms.

Its standout feature is the ATEX / IECEx certification (BASEefa 03ATEX0270X), making it the safe and compliant choice for testing detectors installed in hazardous areas classified as Zone 2. This certification is critical for petrochemical plants, refineries, paint shops, fuel storage areas, and any location where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present.

Key Features & Benefits

• ATEX / IECEx Certification for Hazardous Areas: Certified under BASEefa 03ATEX0270X for use in Zone 2 explosive atmospheres. It is intrinsically safe, meaning it cannot release sufficient electrical or thermal energy to ignite a hazardous atmosphere.

• Safe Functional Testing: Allows security personnel and installers to verify the IR sensor’s functionality safely and efficiently during installation, commissioning, and routine maintenance checks.

• Non-Alarm Triggering: Emits a calibrated, modulated IR signal that is recognized by the detector as a “test” signal, typically causing an LED indicator to flash on the detector without initiating a full alarm state.

• Long Operational Life: Powered by standard, easily replaceable AA batteries, offering extended use between replacements.

• Durable and Ergonomic Design: Built for use in industrial environments with a robust casing and an intuitive, simple one-button operation.

• Compliance Assurance: Using certified equipment for testing is a key part of demonstrating due diligence and compliance with health & safety regulations (like DSEAR in the UK) in hazardous locations.

Technical Specifications

• Certification: ATEX II 3G Ex ic IIC T4 Gc and IECEx (as per certificate BASEefa 03ATEX0270X).

• Approved for: Gas Group IIC (including hydrogen) and Temperature Class T4 (max surface temperature ≤ 135°C).

• Hazardous Area: Suitable for Zone 2.

• Power Supply: 2 x 1.5V AA Alkaline batteries.

• Output: Modulated infrared signal for testing PIR sensors.

• Typical Applications: Functional testing of IR-based security detectors in oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, grain silos, airports, and any Zone 2 classified area.
