The SOLO461 Heat detector test kit operates with a
battery to direct heated air at heat detector sensors. It
uses a patented CAT™ (Cross Air Technology) system
to focus the air and direct it horizontally at the sensor
regardless of the detector's size or shape.

Functions

Cross Air Technology

Under control of a microprocessor, blown air is heated
by the element just before exiting the duct. The
narrow opening focuses the heated air into a beam. A
reference platform incorporated into the
Heat Detector Tester ensures that the beam of heated
air is correctly lined up with the sensor whatever the
shape and size of the detector.
Because the beam of hot air is blown horizontally
directly at the sensor:

• Test times are dramatically reduced

• Minimum power is required thereby extending battery
life

• The possibility of heat damage to detector plastics is
significantly reduced

Tool Operation

When the tool is fully assembled, press the switch on
the tester to put the tool into standby mode. When the
tester is positioned so that it encloses a detector, the

u Automatic switch-off in case of battery overvoltage

u Enters standby mode after 120 seconds of use

detector interrupts an infrared beam turning on the
heater and blower units in the tester. Hold the tool in
place over the detector until either:

• the detector alarms indicating proper operation

• until the tool automatically times out indicating a
problem with the detector

When the tool is moved away from the detector or
when the tool times out the heater shuts off and the
blower runs for a few seconds to cool the heater.

Notice

The SOLO727 charger can only be used with the
SOLO770 battery baton. Older chargers (e.g.
SOLO726) cannot be used with the SOLO770
battery baton. Older battery batons (e.g.
SOLO760) cannot be used with the SOLO727
charger.
