11.5 Detector tester RE6
●
The detector tester RE6 is used together with a test gas can REF8, REF8-S, or
REF8-C. It is designed to test optical smoke detectors, ionization detectors,
and CO detectors.
●
The detector tester is positioned over the detector for the testing process. Brief
pressure causes the test gas to flow into the measuring chamber of the
detector and therefore simulate the presence of fire aerosols. After a short
period of time, the detector responds and triggers the alarm.
●
REF8 and REF8-S are environmentally-friendly test gases and comply with
strict environmental regulations. They do, however, contain flammable
substances. REF8 is used for the temperature range 0…+40 °C and REF8-S
for -20…+40 °C in dry and damp conditions. REF8-S is mainly used for
temperatures below 0 °C or for point detectors that only trigger the alarm when
there is a high level of smoke density or after longer signal integration.
●
REF8-C is used to test the CO functionality of detectors with a CO sensor.
REF8-C can be used in dry and damp conditions at temperatures between -
20 °C and +50 °C.
When transporting, e.g., in a car, we recommend protecting the detector tester
and the test gas cans from heat.
Please observe the notices on the detector tester for operation.
