Description
The SOLO461 Cordless Heat Testing Kit is a device designed for setting off heat detectors. The kit consists of one cordless head unit, battery batons and a fast charger. The head unit is made of moulded plastic incorporating a direct current (DC) motor, fan and heating element assembly with moulded silicone membrane around the rim of a transparent top plastic cup. It is designed to be placed over a heat detector to check if it is working by generating heat by energising a heating element and integral fan. The fan works by drawing in air from the underside to blow out hot air into the cup above, where the detector under test is sited. It is packaged in its own cardboard carton.
