The SOLO461 Heat detector test kit operates with a battery to direct heated air at heat detector sensors. It uses a patented CAT™ (Cross Air Technology) system to focus the air and direct it horizontally at the sensor regardless of the detector's size or shape.
Cross Air Technology Under control of a microprocessor, blown air is heated by the element just before exiting the duct. The narrow opening focuses the heated air into a beam. A reference platform incorporated into the Heat Detector Tester ensures that the beam of heated air is correctly lined up with the sensor whatever the shape and size of the detector. Because the beam of hot air is blown horizontally directly at the sensor:
- Test times are dramatically reduced
- Minimum power is required thereby extending battery life
- The possibility of heat damage to detector plastics is significantly reduced Tool Operation When the tool is fully assembled, press the switch on the tester to put the tool into standby mode.
When the tester is positioned so that it encloses a detector, the detector interrupts an infrared beam turning on the heater and blower units in the tester. Hold the tool in place over the detector until either:
- the detector alarms indicating proper operation
- until the tool automatically times out indicating a problem with the detector When the tool is moved away from the detector or when the tool times out the heater shuts off and the blower runs for a few seconds to cool the heater.
