Important:
Before any work begins on the fire detection system, all necessary persons should be notified that the fire system is to undergo maintenance and that the system, or part of it, will be temporarily out of service. Ensure the control panel is in ‘Test Mode’ and/or take the necessary precautions to prevent unwanted alarms.  Ensure that the same persons are informed once the system is fully operable again.detectortesters.com

  1. Unscrew the red cup and remove the cap from the aerosol can and place it inside the red cup.

  3. Power on the unit by pressing the red button on the side of the tester head. Raise the Solo 460 and position the detector into the clear cup at the top of the unit, ensuring the heat output duct aligns with the thermistor(s) in the detector. The green LED will flash faster.
