CO Detector Testers
Demand for carbon monoxide detector testers continues to rise, both in the commercial and domestic settings. We have a range of solutions to meet these needs, our Solo C3 aerosol is the ideal solution for testing CO sensors within fire detectors. Used in tandem with the Solo 330, the Solo C3 dispenses a safe amount of CO which is detected by the CO sensor and activates accordingly.
Our Testifire range is another CO detector tester, combining the ability to test smoke, heat, and CO from one device – delivering the ultimate in testing and ensuring one tool is all that is needed for all forms of fire detector testing.
For carbon monoxide life safety alarms, our Solo C6 provides a reliable solution which is used by hand for use on domestic CO alarms which feature a test point.

CO Detector Testers FAQs
What are the rules for carbon monoxide detectors?
It’s crucial for anyone testing CO sensors in alarms or detectors to be aware of the different devices and their testing procedures. The standards for these devices can vary based on their use, type installed country and manufacturers recommendations.
How often should I test my CO detector?
CO detectors for detecting fire can be installed in commercial buildings and their testing and maintenance are governed by national and regional standards. Always follow detector manufacturer guidelines and use tools which are fit for purpose.
How many carbon monoxide testers do you need?
It depends on if you are testing commercial CO fire detectors or CO life safety alarms which are typically installed in domestic settings. Follow codes and standards and seek advice from qualified personnel.
What should happen when you test a carbon monoxide detector?
When you functionally test a CO detector, the detector should activate and the panel should indicate the detector is working properly. A CO life safety alarm is generally tested differently, depending on the make and model. Not all CO life safety alarms can receive a functional test
