Sensitivity Detector Testers
Over time, smoke detector sensitivity can drift. This can lead to a detector becoming more or less sensitive, our specialist solutions are designed to measure this and help ensure detectors remain effective.

Sensitivity Detector Testers FAQs
How often should I test the sensitivity of my smoke detectors?
Smoke detector sensitivity should be checked within one year after installation and then every other year.
What are the key features of the Trutest 801 tester?
The Trutest 801 suits most photoelectric and ionisation smoke detectors, measure results in %/ft, and automatically self-calibrates before each test.
How do I use the Trutest 801 Smoke Detector Sensitivity Test Head?
Trutest is attached to the Solo access pole to allow access to the detector, the Aero 400 smoke aerosol is inserted within the tester to introduce smoke through the detector vents. Operating on a precision, closed-loop system, this then measures obscuration and feeds back information to the user.
What types of detectors can the Trutest 801 test?
Trutest works with ionisation and photoelectric smoke detectors.
