The Testifire XTR2 is the newest all-in-one detector testing solution manufactured by Detectortesters. It replaces the Testifire TF1001, which is now no longer in production. The XTR2 allows you to efficiently test smoke, CO, and heat detectors with a convenient telescopic access pole and cordless testing device. To add, the XTR2 can be used to test devices from all leading detector manufacturers. It also combines functional testing with live reporting capabilities with DT Connect and an optional cloud portal. The software allows streamlined testing and reporting, along with proof of testing. The Testifire XTR2 is UL listed, and is now available in the U.S. market.
Not all testing is made equal—functional testing ensures that your detectors operate in a real fire scenario. Everything from pushing a fire alarm test button to simulating a real fire are ways to test a device. However, functional testing means introducing a stimulus into the detector’s sensing chamber. Simulating smoke allows you to test that your detector’s sensors are in working order without damaging or polluting the detector’s internal components.
Over time, smoke detectors can accumulate dust, dirt, or other contaminants in their sensing chambers, which can impair their ability to detect smoke. Functional testing helps to identify these issues. Functional testing also confirms that your detector communicates properly with your fire alarm control panel. Specialized test equipment like the Testifire XTR2 integrates smoke generation, heat generation, and CO testing capabilities into a single, highly controlled device. These devices typically use a cartridge system or a contained method to introduce the stimulus without harming the internals of the detector.
The Testifire XTR2 improves upon the TF1001 with faster activation and live reporting. The XTR2 introduces a new LCD touchscreen display, which allows you to select tests and cycle between features. Testing with the XTR2 is extremely easy with the inlaid infrared beam that automatically detects when a smoke detector is in the testing chamber. Consequently, you simply need to cover the detector with the chamber during the testing procedure. When the detector is activated, the optical LED reader inside the tester cup will sense the detector activation LED and automatically end the test. Afterwards, the XTR2 will begin clearing mode, which removes the aerosol from the detector’s sensing chamber and prevents repeat alarms.
The XTR2 comes with Testifire’s DT connect app and web portal, which records test results and manages jobs. The DT connect app can be downloaded onto your phone, and syncs data directly from your tester to the app via a bluetooth connection. As a result, the app can serve as a proof of test, while allowing you to keep track of important metrics. In addition, you can synchronize test and panel events, capture live test results, create inspection summaries, generate shareable reports and more. This system makes it easy to fulfill the NFPA 72 requirements for maintaining completed records of detector testing.
DT Connect also features a web portal that gives you a powerful new way to manage testing and your business. The portal gives you an overview of your jobs, device management, and team coordination. The data on the DT Connect Web portal lets you record and sync important information such as the location of testing sites, details of detectors, the result and time of each test, and the names of the engineers carrying out the test. These details can be linked to individual technicians, and different XTR2 devices over the same portal. Finally, any testing results can easily be shared with clients for fast and reliable reporting.
The Testifire XTR2 is replaces the discontinued TF1001, and adds some revolutionary features that make testing easier. It offers efficient, cordless testing with an automatic testing process that makes it easy to record your results and achieve compliance. A key improvement is the integration with the DT Connect app and web portal, which supplement the main device to enable live reporting, streamlined data management, and easy sharing of test results to meet NFPA 72 requirements.
