The Spectrex FS1200 Flame Simulator is a portable, rechargeable test device designed for maintenance and end-to-end testing of Spectrex ultraviolet and ultraviolet/infrared flame detectors. It allows operators to safely activate compatible flame detectors without using an open flame, helping verify detector response, alarm activation, wiring integrity, output functionality, and lens cleanliness as part of a routine fire protection system maintenance program.
Designed for handheld use by a single operator, the FS-1200 supports remote flame detector testing from practical floor or deck-level positions, helping reduce the need for scaffolding or ladders when detectors are installed in hard-to-reach areas. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports at least 100 tests per charge, while laser diode aiming helps simplify detector alignment during testing.
The FS1200 Flame Simulator is available in AB, BC, and SK through Westech Industrial. Westech can also support broader fire and gas detection requirements, including detector service, troubleshooting support, and custom-fabricated fire and gas system assemblies for industrial applications.

Description
Designed for UV and UV/IR Flame Detector Testing
The Spectrex FS1200 Flame Simulator supports maintenance testing for compatible Spectrex ultraviolet and ultraviolet/infrared flame detectors. It helps operators verify detector performance during routine inspections and fire protection system checks. Additionally, it gives maintenance teams a practical tool for scheduled testing programs.
Safe Flame Simulation Without an Open Flame
The simulator produces electromagnetic radiation in a unique sequential pattern recognized by compatible Spectrex flame detectors. As a result, operators can activate the detector without using an open flame. This helps reduce testing risk while still supporting realistic flame detector verification.
Supports End-to-End Loop Testing
The FS1200 helps test more than the detector’s basic response. It can support verification of sensors, internal electronics, and alarm activation software. In addition, it helps confirm wiring integrity, relay activation, output functionality, and viewing window cleanliness. Therefore, teams can gain better confidence in the complete fire protection alarm loop.
Remote Testing from Practical Access Points
The FS1200 allows operators to test compatible detectors from floor or deck level. This can help reduce the need for ladders, scaffolding, or other access equipment. Consequently, facilities can lower maintenance time and improve testing efficiency in hard-to-reach areas.
Rechargeable Battery for Multiple Tests
A fully charged battery supports at least 100 tests before recharging is required. This makes the simulator practical for maintenance routes with multiple detectors. Moreover, the rechargeable design supports repeated use during planned inspection programs.
Portable Handheld Operation
The compact handheld design allows one operator to carry and use the simulator in the field. Its portable format helps maintenance teams move efficiently between detector locations. Therefore, the Spectrex FS1200 Flame Simulator is well suited for busy industrial sites.
Laser Diode Aiming
Built-in laser diode aiming helps the operator direct the simulator toward the detector. This feature supports more accurate positioning during testing. In turn, it can help simplify flame detector activation and reduce repeated setup attempts.
Hazardous Area Approved
The FS-1200 is approved for use in Zones 1 and 2 hazardous areas. It is also approved for Zones 21 and 22 dust hazardous areas. As a result, it can support testing programs in many industrial environments.
Durable Industrial Construction
The simulator features a heavy-duty copper-free aluminum enclosure with black zinc coating. It also includes IP65 water and dust-tight protection. These construction features help support reliable field use in demanding industrial conditions.
Applications
The Spectrex FS1200 Flame Simulator is used where flame detectors need to be tested safely, efficiently, and as part of a documented fire protection maintenance program. It is especially useful for industrial facilities where detectors are installed in elevated, hard-to-access, or hazardous locations.
Common applications include:
- Routine flame detector maintenance and verification
- End-to-end fire protection alarm loop testing
- Testing compatible UV and UV/IR flame detectors
- Hazardous area detector testing in Zones 1 and 2
- Dust hazardous area detector testing in Zones 21 and 22
- Oil and gas facilities
- Chemical and petrochemical facilities
- High-value or high-risk industrial assets
- Locations where scaffolding or ladder access is difficult or costly
