Important Note:

The Cordless Heat Detector Tester is a functional tester - not a calibration device. When
testing spot type combination rate of rise and fixed temperature heat detectors ensure
that the Cordless Heat Detector Tester is removed as soon as the detector is initiated.
Continued application of heat could cause permanent damage to the fixed temperature
element.
Do not attempt to test non-restorable / fusible link type detectors with this tool.

Cordless CAT™ 461 Heat Detector Tester
Even though the device is quiet and small, and uses only battery power, a significant
amount of heat is deployed. Detectors should not be subjected to testing for longer
than necessary to set them into alarm.
After long periods of testing on a detector without an alarm signal, there is a danger
that damage may occur to the detector, so the tool will automatically cease any one
test after 120 seconds.

General Principles


Performs functional tests on most types of heat detector without the need for cables.

Operated by rechargeable NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) Battery Batons mounted within
TM
SOLO 100 or 101 (Telescopic or extension) pole.

Infra-red beam senses heat detector presence, switching the product from standby
to operational mode during a test, conserving energy.

Timed cut-out to help prevent damage.

Interchanging fully charged Battery Batons allows virtually unlimited testing
Brief Description
The product is designed to test
spot-type, fixed and rate of rise heat
detectors.
Virtually all known detectors fit into
the opening of the clear cup and
membrane, and can be easily
tested.
Hot air is blown from the side duct
into the detector under test, and it
will only take a short amount of time
for the detector to alarm.
