5.12 RFID Auto Tests (Testifire 100)
A Testifire 100 communication module (which includes RFID and Bluetooth®) will be available as a future option.
Amongst other reporting functions, a detector can be identified via an RFID tag which may be fixed to the back of
the fire detector. This enables communication between Testifire and the tag and thereby allows Testifire to identify
the detector and perform the correct test/s automatically without programming.
Using an open protocol Bluetooth®link, Testifire also offers the ability to communicate with any supporting third
party software application. This allows data to be exchanged between the RFID tag (label) and a PDA including, for
example, the identity of test personnel, the maintenance company, time and date of test and test results.
To be able to use this feature, each detector must be fitted with a Testifire compatible RFID tag and the type of test
that is required to be performed automatically will need to be programmed into the tag.
Once the Testifire communication module is available details will be available from our website:

5.11 Infrared Remote Control (Testifire 25)
Some types of detector may not automatically initiate a test as
they enter the clear cup of Testifire. The Infrared Remote
Control can be used to manually start a test, and/or move on to
the next test in the sequence. Aim the infrared beam LED at the
Testifire head unit when it is at height and use the operation
button on the Infrared Control Unit to start/stop a test.
The Infrared Control Unit is powered by two AAA batteries
which can be replaced by opening the panel located on the back
of the unit.
