Cleaning, Maintenance and Functional Test Procedures 

Discovery heats set to mode 5 (CS class) will require the use of the mains 
heat tester or the Testifire product to activate. 

 

2.3. 

Testing Multisensor Detector 

 

2.3.1 Smoke sensors are tested with aerosol test gas, part number 204-0014, which may only 

be used in conjunction with the Ampac smoke detector test applicator part number 204-
0004. 

 

2.3.2 If the Multisensor is in ‘heat only’ mode (Mode 5) then it should be tested using the Ampac 

cordless heat detector tester, part number 204-0017. 

 

The Ampac ‘Testifire’ unit, part number 204-0025, 204-0028 and 204-0029, may also be used. 
Both smoke and heat elements can be tested simultaneously using this. 

 

2.3.3 For Orbis Multisensor detectors place the control panel in ‘test’ mode OR remove the 

detector from the detector base then re-fit OR reset the control panel. 

 

2.3.4 Follow steps detailed in 2.2.3 

 

2.3.5 For quicker activation times use Testifire with combined smoke and heat test protocol. 

 

2.3.6 For XP95 Multisensor detectors follow steps detailed in 2.1.3. The heat element can be 

tested separately if required, and can be tested as indicated in section 2.2.3. For quicker 
activation times use Testifire with combined smoke and heat test protocol. 

 

2.3.7 For Discovery Multisensor detectors in modes 1-4 follow steps detailed in 2.1.3. Mode 5 

can be tested following steps detailed in 2.2.3. 

 

 

 

Note: 

Discovery and XP95 Multisensor detectors may take up to 40 seconds to respond 

dependent upon which detection mode they are set at.
