Smoke detector test bench (1) (test device), preferably in the form of an optical bench, for the
functional testing of a
smoke detector, in particular a linear
smoke detector based on the
transmitted light principle, in particular for conformity testing in accordance with the requirements of and / or in accordance with DIN EN 54-12, in particular for
functional testing by evaluating the attenuation or attenuation change of an
optical beam (2), in particular for determining the response value (trigger
limit value), in particular wherein the
smoke detector to be tested responds to attenuation and / or attenuation change of an
optical beam (2) and has at least one
transmitter (3), at least one
receiver (4) and optionally at least one reflector (5) or at least one
transmitter-
receiver arrangement (6) and at least one reflector (5), wherein the smoke detector
test bench (1) comprises: - a first test specimen holder (7) for holding and / or receiving a
receiver (4) or a
transmitter-receiver arrangement (6) of a smoke detector to be tested, - a second test holder (8), in particular arranged opposite the first test holder, for holding and / or receiving a transmitter (3) or a reflector (5) of the smoke detector, wherein an optical, in particular linear, measuring section (2) is formed and / or is present between the first test specimen holder and the second test specimen holder (8), preferably wherein the first test specimen holder (7) and the second test specimen holder (8) are arranged and / or are to be arranged such that in the operating and / or test state of the smoke detector test stand (1) the receiver (4) or the transmitter-receiver arrangement (6) of the smoke detector to be tested, held and / or received by the first test specimen holder (7), on the one hand, and the transmitter (3) or reflector (5) held and / or received by the second test specimen holder (8), on the other hand, are positioned and / or aligned at least substantially at the same height and / or (horizontally) aligned; the smoke detector
test bench (1) also features: - a positioning device (9) for the particularly selective and / or preferably automated and / or motorized
insertion and / or removal of several test filters (10) from a plurality of test filters (10) provided and / or make available, in particular with the positioning device (9), into the beam path and / or out of the beam path of an
optical beam (2) emanating from the transmitter (3) or the transmitter-receiver arrangement (6) and optionally reflected by a reflector (5) to generate an attenuation or a change in the attenuation of the optical beam (2), in particular wherein the positioning device (9) is designed • for the selective and / or preferably automated and / or motorized
insertion and / or removal of a plurality of test filters (10), in particular both a
single test filter (10) and a plurality of test filters (10), into or out of the beam path, wherein several test filters (10) inserted into the beam path have different distances to the first test specimen holder (7) and / or to the second test specimen holder (8), preferably different distances to the first test specimen holder (7) and to the second test specimen holder (8), and / or • for the selective and / or preferably automated and / or motorized
insertion and / or removal of several test filters (10) from a plurality of test filters (10) into the beam path and / or out of the beam path, wherein the test filters (10) inserted into the beam path are arranged linearly in succession in the beam path in the direction of the optical beam (2); in particular wherein the positioning device (9) has a plurality of test filter holders (11) arranged linearly in the direction of the optical beam, wherein each test
filter holder (11) is designed to hold and insert and / or remove at least one, preferably only one, test filter (10) into or out of the beam path and / or wherein each test
filter holder (11) can be positioned independently of the other test
filter holder(s) (11) within the beam path and / or wherein the test filter holders have a different distance to at least one test specimen holder (7, 8), in particular to both test specimen holders (7, 8), and / or in particular wherein the positioning device (9) is designed for the independent insertion and / or removal of several test filters (10) from a plurality of test filters (10) into or out of the beam path, preferably wherein each test filter (10) can always be inserted into the optical beam (2) at a test filter-specific position specified for the respective test filter (10) with a test filter-specific distance to at least one test specimen holder (7, 8), in particular to both test specimen holders (7, 8), preferably to the transmitter (3) or the transmitter-receiver arrangement (6) or to the receiver (4).
