Abstract

An integral testing system for testing OFDs is provided. The OFD may comprise a body, a detector, and an infrared source. The detector and the infrared source may be housed with the body. The infrared source may be configured to generate emissions having one or more infrared wavelengths that are detectable by the detector. The infrared source may be configured to produce infrared emissions to simulate flaming fire.
