How long will my TES3 last if unopened?
The shelf life of TES3 varies depending on the
storage conditions it is exposed to. If stored
within the recommended temperature range,
the shelf life of a TES3 cartridge will extend to
several years. The specified range is -10°C to
50°C (+14°F to 122°F)
I’ve left my smoke cartridge inserted and
not used for a while, will it still work?
Partially used cartridges can continue to be
used but may require a manual purge before
use
Are smoke cartridges re-fillable?
No. Empty smoke cartridges cannot be refilled
and should be recycled accordingly to local
waste disposal guidelines
How do the cartridges generate smoke?
Fluid is passed over a hot element,
vapourizing the fluid into particles mimicking
behaviour of real smoke to a detector
Are the TES3 cartridges hazardous?
No. Unlike aerosol smoke cannisters, TES3
cartridges are non pressurised and nonhazardous,
supporting safe storage and
transportation
