Head Unit
Thank you for purchasing Testifire Multi-Stimulus Detector Tester.
This manual is designed to assist you to get the best and most efficient use of the Testifire 1000 and 2000
model range, and provides all the information required to perform routine service and maintenance tasks
with ease.
Testifire includes an array of advanced and intelligent technologies that change traditional approaches to
functional testing in the field. Simply by being able to test all fire detectors with one unit is faster and
more productive. In addition the Testifire range brings health, safety, environmental and technological
benefits to field servicing of fire detectors as never seen before.
Testifire is a technologically advanced, fully field portable device for functional testing of fire detectors.
The unit is suitable for testing optical/photoelectric and ionisation smoke sensors, thermal sensors (fixed
temperature or rate-of-rise), and carbon monoxide (CO) fire sensors, be they conventional, addressable
or analogue addressable. Testifire is also the first functional tester that enables testing of multi-sensors or
multi-criteria detectors from a single test unit.
Testifire creates stimuli that the sensors are designed to detect. Depending on the model purchased,
Testifire can create smoke, heat and CO stimuli on demand from a single unit. Testifire creates stimuli
without using pressurised aerosol cans or hazardous media. Stimuli (Smoke, Heat, and CO) are generated
at the time of test using safe and patented processes fuelled by replaceable capsules.
Testifire can also execute programmed testing: Simultaneously (any combination of Smoke, Heat and CO),
Sequentially (e.g. Smoke, followed by Heat and then CO) or Combined Simultaneous and Sequentially
(e.g. Smoke and Heat together followed by CO). In addition it also incorporates a clearing mode that
enables the stimuli to be blown out of the detector immediately after a test, enabling more rapid resets at
the panel.
Testifire is also capable of reading from, and writing data to electronic RFID tags which may be installed
on detectors. This permits a level of automation in testing and logging of service and maintenance
activities. The facility for an optional RFID and Bluetooth®module is covered in detail in the RFID manual.
If you require additional information or assistance in the use of Testifire, please visit the support area of

Manual.
