Testifire XTR2 Frequently Asked Questions

How many smoke tests do you get out of
the generator before it needs replacing?
120,000 seconds of smoke per generator.
This gives 8000 tests for 15 seconds of smoke
with a 30 seconds test cycle duration. Testifire
XTR2 will inform you when the generator
should be changed and the Detectortesters
Connect App will give an accurate percentage
reading of remaining life


When do you need to replace the smoke
generator? How do you know?
Testifire XTR2 will display the low smoke
generator icon along the top of the LCD
display when the smoke generator has 10%
capacity left and the Detectortesters Connect
App will give an accurate percentage reading
of remaining life


The smoke generator looks like a
Solo371 generator? Is it the same, can
you use it in this new tester?
No. Despite their physical similarities Testifire
XTR2 uses a unique Smoke Generator. This
new smoke generator supports the higher
capacity TES3 smoke cartridges that are only
compatible with Testifire XTR2
(Part No. TESTIFIRE-GEN-001)



Can I fit a replacement smoke generator
myself?
Yes. The Testifire XTR2 smoke generator can
be replaced as follows:

  1. Ensure the unit is switched off and the
    battery is removed
  2. Remove the TES3 smoke cartridge from the
    smoke generator

    to remove the used generator
  4. Insert the new generator firmly into the

    battery pack
