The XTR2 system by Testifire is a engineer-focused solution for compliance testing of smoke and heat detectors, enabling height-safe operation for detectors positioned up to 9 metres high.
This integrated testing kit enhances compliance and maintenance procedures by combining smoke and heat testing in a single unit with automated digital reporting functions.
Efficient Smoke and Heat Simulation
Using specialised cartridges, the device produces synthetic smoke on demand. Heat tests are temperature-regulated, with options for normal or high heat outputs. These tests emulate fire environments to verify that detectors function properly.
Multi-Mode Testing Functions
The XTR2 offers users a choice of modes, including:
- Single stimulus test options
- Enhanced heat testing for advanced detectors
- Simultaneous smoke and heat
- Step-by-step smoke then heat testing
- Delayed activation for hands-free operation
Once activated, the device confirms the sensor’s activation and logs whether the test passed. This automatic result capture, while the built-in clearing function prevents false alarms post-test from the detector.
Digital Reporting & Connectivity
The XTR2 is paired with an online reporting system. Engineers can send data instantly from the field, enabling faster turnaround times.
Clients receive immediate confirmation of detector tests via download or email, supporting inspections.
Safe Height Access
The kit website includes a multi-section reach pole, capable of testing and removing detector heads from up to 9m. A universal removal tool simplifies head replacement, all without the use of ladders. The provided carry bag protects components during transit.
Practical Build Quality
Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the unit also includes a integrated flashlight to assist with testing in poorly lit ceilings. The device is built for daily fieldwork, making it ideal for contractors and fire safety teams.
Final Overview
The Testifire XTR2 kit reduces manual workload during smoke and heat detector testing. It allows engineers to test with minimal disruption, while digital tools simplify documentation. This system offers full traceability for safety audits without the need for ladders or manual logging.
