The advanced technical data collected from home and abroad have properly been analyzed, so that they are useful to improve the photoelectric sensitivity tester. The results of this study have quickly been supplied to the related industry. Our research and development team has verified the response characteristics of the light-emitting and -receiving part of the photoelectric sensitivity tester in order to help the local manufacturer to study, develope and produce their photoelectric detectors.

In this study we could contribute to the development of a precise checking tool with which the reliability of the automatic fire detection systems was enhanced and the safety of the people was ensured. In the same way as the domestic technical standard, the portable smoke sensitivity tester, which was developed in this work, could be used to check the capability of the smoke detectors installed in the field. Its heater inside was warmed up to $400^{\circ}C$ in 40 seconds and the paper as a smoke source was burned to produce smoke for the test. With the Photoelectric smoke detector it was possible to measure and control the smoke concentration in a range from 0%/m to 25%/m. With the adjustment of rpm of the fan, it was possible to keep a constant wind velocity in a range from 20cm/sec to 40cm/sec.
