Testing smoke detectors; no access, no problem!

Posted in: Test Category Testing News

In recent months we’ve seen a significant rise in enquiries from both installers and facilities managers looking at ways to test hard-to-access detectors. As a result, installations of Scorpion have been confirmed in; the UK, Germany, Sweden and the Middle East and, with more in the pipeline, it appears the challenge of testing hard-to-access detectors is one which an increasing number in the fire industry are looking to overcome.

Installed alongside the detector, Scorpion allows for easy functional testing via a conveniently installed wall-mounted access point and portable controller. The number of applications that can benefit from Scorpion are vast, with some of the sales above helping to solve challenges posed by detectors installed in lift shafts, sports arenas, aircraft hangers and warehouses.
