‘ ’ will be displayed alongside ‘Smoke’.
Move the cursor to ‘Heat’ and press the ‘ENTER’ key

2. Simultaneous Testing (selected tests at the same time)
In this example, ‘Smoke’, ‘Heat’ and ‘CO’ are selected as a
sequential test ( ).
Move the cursor to ‘Smoke’ and press the ‘ENTER’ key
‘ ’ will be displayed alongside ‘Smoke’.
Move the cursor to ‘Heat’ and press the ‘ENTER’ key
‘ ’ will be displayed alongside ‘Heat’.
Move the cursor to ‘CO’ and press the ‘ENTER’ key

In this example, ‘Smoke’ and ‘Heat’ are combined as a
simultaneous test followed by ‘CO’ ( ).
‘Heat’ and ‘Smoke’ can be combined as the first operation,
followed by a ‘CO’ test. you will need to lower the
head unit between each test.

2. Raise Testifire
over the detector:
‘Smoke’ and ‘Heat’
are tested at the
same time as test ‘ ’.1
3. Lower Testifire
from the detector:
The test is completed
and ready to test another

2. Raise Testifire over the detector:
‘Smoke’ is tested as test ‘ ’.1
3. Lower for 2-10 seconds, then
raise Testifire again:
‘Heat’ is tested as test ‘ ’.2
4. Lower for 2-10 seconds, then
raise Testifire again:
‘CO’ is tested as test ‘ ’.3
Using these methods, you can
programme Testifire to combine tests
and continue in sequence.
‘Clear’ (clearing) can also be
selected in any of the above operations.
