Heat Detector Testers

Most of you would have heard of heat detectors, but a detector tester is a relatively new arrival in the market. Previously, it was professionals who performed the annual testing of alarm systems.

Handheld, devices can be flexibly used to check the activity of the sensors. All it needs is to hold a tester close enough to the detector. The tester emits heat causing the alarm to go off. If the sensors are fully functional, the alarm will go off instantly. If not, it will remain mute thus telling the users that it’s time to get it looked at by a professional.
