The XTR2 system by Testifire is a engineer-focused solution for compliance testing of smoke and heat detectors, allowing safe ground-level access for detectors positioned up read more to 9 metres high.
This integrated testing kit enhances compliance and maintenance procedures by combining smoke and heat testing in a single unit with automated digital reporting functions.
Efficient Smoke and Heat Simulation
Using specialised cartridges, the device produces synthetic smoke on demand. Heat tests are temperature-regulated, with options for routine or intensive heat outputs. These tests emulate fire environments to verify that detectors function properly.
Multi-Mode Testing Functions
The XTR2 offers users a choice of modes, including:
- Standard smoke or heat test
- Enhanced heat testing for advanced detectors
- Simultaneous smoke and heat
- Step-by-step smoke then heat testing
- Timed start for convenience
Once activated, the device confirms the sensor’s activation and logs whether the test passed. This minimises human error, while the built-in clearing function prevents false alarms post-test from the detector.
Digital Reporting & Connectivity
The XTR2 is equipped with digital connectivity. Engineers can upload results directly on-site, enabling faster turnaround times.
Clients receive proof of test completion via download or email, supporting inspections.
Safe Height Access
The kit includes a extendable access rod, capable of testing and removing detector heads from up to 9m. A universal removal tool enables quick removal for servicing, all without the use of ladders. The provided carry bag makes site-to-site travel easier.
Practical Build Quality
Powered by a high-capacity battery pack, the unit also includes a built-in torch to assist with testing in poorly lit ceilings. The device is engineered for reliability, making it suitable for regular use by professionals.
Summary
This professional detector tester improves accuracy during smoke and heat detector testing. It allows engineers to perform reliable tests at height, while compliance records are easier to maintain. This system offers confidence in detection systems without the need for ladders or manual logging.
