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
  3. Disengage Clip 1 and lift. Repeat for Clip 2 to remove the used generator
  4. Insert the new generator firmly into the recess, engaging clips 1 and 2
  5. Insert the TES3 smoke cartridge and battery pack

 Can I purchase a replacement smoke generator?

Yes. A spare smoke generator can be purchased directly from Detectortesters or
your local authorised retailer (Part No. TESTIFIRE-GEN-001)
