Test With the HeatTag Tester
Introduction
The HeatTag sensor can be tested with the HeatTag tester during commissioning, within the first 30 minutes after powering on, and whenever needed after the 8-hour environment-learning period.
Only use the tester and HeatTag Tester liquid provided by Schneider Electric to test the HeatTag sensor.
Package Content
The package for testing HeatTag sensors contains the following items:
-
One tester with USB charging cable
-
One bottle of HeatTag Tester liquid (140 ml (4.7 fl.oz.))
Contact your Schneider Electric local representative to order a new package.
Tester Description
Charging The Tester
Fully charge the HeatTag tester before first use. It takes about 2 hours.
To charge the HeatTag tester, proceed as follows:
-
Pull out the bottom waterproof plug.
-
Connect the USB charging cable to the USB charging connector at the bottom of the tester and to a USB connector. The operation LED flashes red slowly while the tester is charging.
-
Disconnect the tester when it is charged (operation LED on red).
-
Put the bottom waterproof plug on.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
|
To fill the tester with the HeatTag Tester liquid, proceed as follows:
-
Remove the tester cap by pulling it from the tester body with reasonable force.
-
Pull out the top waterproof plug.
-
Fill the tank with the liquid to the maximum limit indicated.
-
Put the top waterproof plug on.
-
Put the tester cap back into place.
Testing the HeatTag Sensor

INOPERATIVE EQUIPMENT
When testing the HeatTag sensor:
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
|
To test a HeatTag sensor, proceed as follows:
-
Before testing a HeatTag sensor, turn off all power supplying the equipment except the HeatTag sensor and the gateway paired to it.
-
Check that the tester is charged and filled with HeatTag Tester liquid.
-
Position the tester with the spray nozzle 10 centimeters (3.93 in) away from the air inlet of the HeatTag sensor to be tested.
-
Slide the tester cap to the limit. The tester immediately emits fine particles of the liquid.
-
Hold the tester in position and spray the liquid for 30 s (minimum) to 45 s (maximum) towards the air inlet of the HeatTag sensor.
-
Slide the tester cap to close the tester and stop the spray.
-
Check the result of the test:
If... Then... The operation LED blinks orange on the HeatTag sensor and an alert is transmitted by the HeatTag sensor to the gateway. The test is successful.
Check the alert on the interface used in the system (for example, EcoStruxure Facility Expert (EFE) app).
The operation LED blinks orange on the HeatTag sensor but no alert is transmitted to the gateway. The HeatTag sensor has triggered an alert.
Check the gateway configuration and pairing, then test the HeatTag sensor with the tester again.
The operation LED on the HeatTag sensor is off. The HeatTag sensor has not triggered an alert.
Contact your Schneider Electric local representative.
-
Empty the tester tank after commissioning a HeatTag sensor or several sensors if all tested at once.
Cleaning the Tester
NOTICE |

MESH DIAPHRAGM DAMAGE
When the HeatTag tester cap is removed, do not touch the middle area with the
mesh diaphragm.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
|
Clean the tester before adding HeatTag Tester liquid.
To clean the tester, proceed as follows:
-
Remove the tester cap by pulling it from the tester body with reasonable force.
-
Pull out the top waterproof plug.
-
Clean the tank with clear water (50 °C (122 °F) maximum).
-
Put the top waterproof plug on.
-
Put the tester cap back into place.

Troubleshooting
Problem description | Probable cause | Solutions |
---|---|---|
Tester operation LED is on blue but no spray when operating the tester. | Battery low. | Charge the tester. |
Spray nozzle pounding. | Use a clean tissue to absorb the liquid. Do not touch the middle area with the mesh diaphragm. | |
Incorrect liquid. | Pour out of all the remaining liquid, clean the tank with clear water, and fill with the correct liquid. | |
Tester operation LED is off and no spray when operating the tester. | Tester inoperative. | Contact your Schneider Electric local representative. |
The tester cannot be charged. | USB charging cable damaged. | Use another USB cable. |
USB power supply damaged. | Use another USB power supply. | |
Tester not used for a long time, low battery. | Charge the tester during more than 2.5 hours. If the tester still does not work, contact your Schneider Electric local representative. | |
Charging port ageing or tester damaged. | Contact your Schneider Electric local representative. |
