SERVICING TOOLS
PR Fire Protection uses the Solo 365, XTR2, and XTR Pulse tools as part of their service offering to provide efficient, compliant, and documented functional testing of fire alarm detectors.
Solo 365 Smoke Detector Tester
The Solo 365 is an electronic smoke detector tester that offers a modern alternative to traditional aerosol methods.
-
Operation: It uses non-pressurized smoke cartridges to generate on-demand, residue-free smoke. A proximity sensor automatically starts the smoke generation as the tester is placed over the detector, ensuring minimal wastage and consistent application.
-
Features:
-
Cleaner Testing: Eliminates the risk of contamination from over-application or chemical residues sometimes left by older aerosol sprays.
-
Efficiency: Features a "clearing mode" to quickly disperse lingering smoke, reducing repeat alarms and allowing faster movement between detectors.
-
Accessibility: Its lightweight, slimline design and flexible head allow access to awkwardly positioned or tight spaces.
-
Convenience: Includes an automatic LED light for use in dark areas and is compatible with standard Solo access poles.
-
Testifire XTR2 All-in-one Connected Smoke/Heat Detector Tester
The XTR2 is an advanced all-in-one solution for testing both smoke and heat detectors, designed for commercial servicing professionals.
-
Operation: It provides both smoke and heat stimuli via internal generation, offering various test modes (smoke, heat, hi-heat, combined).
-
Features:
-
Data Capture & Reporting: The key feature is its connectivity. It automatically captures test results by sensing the detector's LED and pushes this data to the DT Connect app and cloud portal, enabling digital reports and proof of testing for clients.
-
Efficiency: Offers rapid smoke and heat generation for faster testing cycles.
-
Versatility: Compatible with all major detector brands and models, and works with both addressable and conventional systems.
-
XTR Pulse Service Tool (Accessory)
The XTR Pulse is an accessory that brings the benefits of connected reporting to existing or other test devices, including the Solo range.
-
Function: It is a simple accessory that attaches to access poles and is compatible with the DT Connect app and cloud portal.
-
Purpose: It enables the automated creation of test reports from any test device, without requiring a full upgrade to a new XTR2 kit, streamlining documentation and compliance efforts.
In essence, these tools allow PR Fire Protection to perform their testing services efficiently, safely (using poles from the ground), cleanly, and with modern, automated reporting capabilities.
