Testifire 1000 Series
Head Unit
Testifire 2000 Series
Head Unit
Thank you for purchasing Testifire Multi-Stimulus Detector Tester.
This manual is designed to assist you to get the best and most efficient use of the Testifire 1000 and 2000
model range, and provides all the information required to perform routine service and maintenance tasks
with ease.
Testifire includes an array of advanced and intelligent technologies that change traditional approaches to
functional testing in the field. Simply by being able to test all fire detectors with one unit is faster and
more productive. In addition the Testifire range brings health, safety, environmental and technological
benefits to field servicing of fire detectors as never seen before.
Testifire is a technologically advanced, fully field portable device for functional testing of fire detectors.
The unit is suitable for testing optical/photoelectric and ionisation smoke sensors, thermal sensors (fixed
temperature or rate-of-rise), and carbon monoxide (CO) fire sensors, be they conventional, addressable
or analogue addressable. Testifire is also the first functional tester that enables testing of multi-sensors or
multi-criteria detectors from a single test unit.
Testifire creates stimuli that the sensors are designed to detect. Depending on the model purchased,
Testifire can create smoke, heat and CO stimuli on demand from a single unit. Testifire creates stimuli
without using pressurised aerosol cans or hazardous media. Stimuli (Smoke, Heat, and CO) are generated
at the time of test using safe and patented processes fuelled by replaceable capsules.
Testifire can also execute programmed testing: Simultaneously (any combination of Smoke, Heat and CO),
Sequentially (e.g. Smoke, followed by Heat and then CO) or Combined Simultaneous and Sequentially
(e.g. Smoke and Heat together followed by CO). In addition it also incorporates a clearing mode that
enables the stimuli to be blown out of the detector immediately after a test, enabling more rapid resets at
the panel.
Testifire is also capable of reading from, and writing data to electronic RFID tags which may be installed
on detectors. This permits a level of automation in testing and logging of service and maintenance
activities. The facility for an optional RFID and Bluetooth®module is covered in detail in the RFID manual.
If you require additional information or assistance in the use of Testifire, please visit the support area of
our web site, or contact our technical support department as detailed on the Support page of this User
Manual.

4.1 Charging the Battery
Solo NiMH Battery Batons are used to power Testifire and enable it to be fitted to Solo Access Poles.
The Solo760 Battery Baton must be charged before using Testifire. To obtain maximum duration of testing, it
should be fully charged for each use. The Solo726 charger should be used for charging Solo760 Battery Batons
(Fig. 1).
Connect charger to power outlet / vehicle accessory socket using power cable supplied / umbilical DC connecting
lead respectively. LED will not illuminate permanently (Fig. 4).
Connect the Battery Baton to the charger via the seven pin polarised connector and turn the locking
ring (Fig. 2 & 3).
LED will flash red/green initially, then illuminate red only to indicate fast charging. LED illuminates green only
when battery fully charged.
Charging times will depend on the discharge state of the Battery Baton. Charge times can be 75-90 minutes
when charging a fully discharged Battery Baton.
If LED flashes red, there is a battery fault.
NOTE: If Battery Baton is not to be used for some time (i.e. within the next day), it is advisable to unplug the
charger from the power supply.
As with all rechargeable batteries, after a few hundred cycles of normal use your Battery Baton will eventually
reach the end of its useable life and will hold less charge or not charge properly. At this point it is recommended
that replacement Battery Batons are purchased.
To ensure the longest possible battery life, discharge the Battery Baton fully before charging whenever possible
and avoid leaving the Battery Baton in a discharged state for long periods of time.
WARNING
Do not attempt to use or charge the battery if either the unit or the battery connection
point are damaged.
Never connect AC and DC power at the same time.
