I don't have my old Automatic Data Book in front of me however, I seem to recall that you could use warm water to test HAD's . If I can get my hands on my book tomorrow I'll scan and post it somewhere. Mike Cabral Cell 314-412-1800 E-Fax 636-438-1338

We are currently performing inspections on all types of systems at a nearby army base. I am having a problem finding a proper test apparatus for H.A.D. devices on the pre-action and deluge systems. I have heard thru the "grapevine", that Kidde Fire Protection makes such a device, but I cannot seem to find any such item on their website. I have been told that I need to obtain a 377 Deg. Light bulb, in order for the radiant heat off the bulb to activate the H.A.D. Since this is my first "go 'round" inspecting these devices, is this what I need to properly test H.A.D.s? If yes, then does anybody know where I may obtain such a device? Also, if this is the "incorrect" way to test H.A.D., by all means, let me know! I would very much appreciate any thoughts or input any members may wish to share, to enlighten me! Thanks to you all!
