Smoke & Heat Detector Testing & Removal Kit – Testifire XTR2

The Testifire's XTR2 kit is a engineer-focused solution for compliance testing of heat and smoke sensors, enabling height-safe operation for detectors positioned up to 9 metres high.



This comprehensive testing kit simplifies compliance and maintenance procedures by featuring combined heat and smoke outputs with automated digital reporting functions.



Efficient Smoke and Heat Simulation



Using proprietary smoke canisters, the device generates realistic smoke exposure. Heat tests are controlled and targeted, with options for standard or elevated heat outputs. These tests emulate fire environments to verify that detectors respond correctly.



Multi-Mode Testing Functions



The XTR2 offers technicians a choice of modes, including:



  • Single stimulus test options

  • Enhanced heat testing for advanced detectors

  • Simultaneous smoke and heat

  • Sequential stimulus tests

  • Delayed activation for hands-free operation



Once activated, the device registers the alarm indicator and logs whether the test passed. This minimises human error, while the built-in clearing function prevents false alarms post-test from the detector.



Cloud-Based Documentation



The XTR2 is equipped with digital connectivity. Engineers can upload results directly on-site, enabling faster turnaround times.



Clients receive immediate confirmation of detector tests via download or email, reducing admin tasks.



Access & Detector Removal Without Ladders



The kit includes a telescopic website pole with modular extensions, capable of testing and removing detector heads from up to 9m. A universal removal tool safely detaches detector units, all without the use of ladders. The provided carry bag keeps the system organised.



Engineer-Friendly Design



Powered by a long-life battery, the unit also includes a integrated flashlight to assist with testing in poorly lit ceilings. The device is built for daily fieldwork, making it ideal for contractors and fire safety teams.



Summary



The Testifire XTR2 kit enhances efficiency during smoke and heat detector testing. It allows engineers to perform reliable tests at height, while digital tools simplify documentation. This system offers full traceability for safety audits without the need for ladders or manual logging.
