Out of those available choices, one needs to figure out one that makes the best investment for detector testing.

Points to Consider When Choosing a Smoke Aerosol

Below are some things to check when buying an aerosol smoke detector tester for your home or office alarm system.

Does Not Damage the Detectors

The first and possibly the most important concern about smoke aerosols is safety. There are many products in the market that claim to offer comprehensive testing but only end up damaging the sensors of the detectors. Your priority should be to find a product that does not in any way risk the detector.

Do not Leave Sticky Residues on the Spot

Many aerosols contain an active ingredient called siloxane. That is something to stay clear of because it has certain disadvantages. Siloxane, being from the silicone family has a high boiling point that means it requires considerable air movement to clear. Without any wind or breeze, it tends to stick to the surface it falls on and consequently attracts dust and dirt. So, an aerosol smoke spray that does not contain siloxane should be preferred.

Is Approved by Detector Manufacturers

Although there is an abundance of smoke aerosols in the market, only a few are approved by detector manufacturers. The SOLO products are one of those. Approved by the manufacturers, these products pose no threat to the sensors or the detecting equipment and are completely safe to use for daily maintenance work.

Offers Function and Failsafe Testing

The best aerosol products are those that stimulate the sensors instantly and trigger a response, regardless of the make or model of the detector. Those are the products that offer failsafe testing and keep detectors working around the year.
