Description
Smoke detector test kit consisting of a smoke dispenser, 2.5 meter fibreglass pole and a smoke aerosol can. The smoke dispenser is a head unit with a clear cup and internal spring loaded mechanism. The dispenser is designed to be placed over a smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) detector to test if it is working. It does this by releasing smoke/CO over the smoke/CO detector to set it off. The test kit is intended to be used with canister containing particles that replicate real smoke/CO. The canister is inserted underneath the cup which then disperses the smoke/CO by the spring-loaded mechanism. Product is designed to be used for heights up to 4 meters. The goods are packaged together as a kit in a cardboard carton.
