About Detector Testers
From the ceiling to the report
With Detector Testers, you can test installed fire detectors and keep a record of your work. XTR2 connects to DT Connect so you can capture results as you go.
The detector type determines whether the test needs smoke, heat or both.
02
Test
XTR2 offers smoke, heat, combined and sequential test modes.
03
Capture
Optical sensors detect the detector’s activation LED to help record its response.
04
Report
DT Connect organises test records by job, with reporting features available by subscription.
Product guide
Which test are you planning?
Compare smoke, heat, multi-sensor and air-sampling tests.
01
Smoke detector testing
Smoke mode introduces a test aerosol to activate a compatible detector. Clearing mode helps remove the remaining aerosol after the test.
02
Heat detector testing
Heat and high-heat modes suit different detector ratings. The XTR2 compatibility guide lists the supported detectors and test settings.
03
Combined or sequential testing
XTR2 can apply smoke and heat together or in sequence, depending on the detector’s test procedure. It does not test carbon monoxide sensors.
04
Testing air-sampling detectors
The ASD adaptor delivers smoke to a sampling point, with a delayed start for supported tests. Pipe travel time and sensitivity are separate parts of system testing.
Ask us about availability and the model requirements for your project.
Installed Equipment Support
From Our Earlier Catalogue
The original catalogue also listed Trutest, Chekkit and SmokeSabre alongside Solo, Testifire and Scorpion. Tell us the tester model, detector type and consumable part number so we can check a suitable current option.
Historical catalogue information. Current availability, compatibility and approvals must be checked for the exact model.
Testifire combines supported smoke, heat and carbon-monoxide test functions in one head, reducing detector changes during routine testing.
Solo poles and adaptors provide non-conductive access options; working-height planning and local safe-work rules still apply.
Scorpion enables installed testing where detectors are difficult to reach, while DT Connect supports traceable testing workflows.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers
Does XTR2 test carbon monoxide sensors?
You can use XTR2 to test smoke and heat sensors. For carbon monoxide sensors, you’ll need a separate, compatible CO tester.
Do I need a DT Connect subscription?
You can use the basic app functions for free. If you need advanced reports or want to compare completed tests with planned work, you can choose a paid plan.
Does a recorded pass test the whole fire system?
No. A recorded pass tells you how the detector responded. You still need to test the control panel, alarms, interfaces and programmed alarm actions as part of full system maintenance.
Which Solo poles and tools fit my detector?
Check the detector size, mounting height and the tool’s compatibility list. Send the detector model and required working height so the head, adaptors and poles can be matched.
What is Scorpion used for?
Scorpion provides an installed way to test detectors or sampling systems that are difficult to reach. The test equipment must suit the detection system and be included in its maintenance plan.
Can I use any aerosol or refill in my tester?
Use the consumable specified for the tester and detector. An unsuitable aerosol can leave residue or produce unreliable results. Include the tester model when ordering refills.
