- Page 15 Model HST-A-17343-124-3 for 600 and 725 degree F detectors Model HST-A-17343-113-950 for 950 degree F detectors There are several sub-models of 17343 detectors contact Skinner Innovations to verify HST tester matches detector. Operation: 1. Select the desired temperature setting on the HST tester. The HST temperature setting refers to the detectors rated trip point, the actual temperature that the HST produce will be slightly higher to account for the manufacturers +/- specification.
