SOLO100-001

The Solo 100-001 is a professional-grade telescopic fibreglass pole designed for safe, high-level access to fire detectors. Extending to 4.5 metres, this 4-section pole provides a total working reach of approximately 6 metres, allowing engineers to perform functional testing from ground level without the need for ladders or scaffolding.

As the core component of the "No Climb" testing system, the Solo 100 is engineered from non-conductive fibreglass, ensuring maximum safety for technicians working near live electrical systems or overhead lighting in commercial and industrial environments.

Why Professionals Use the Solo 100 Telescopic Pole

• Rigid Telescopic Extension: Unlike standard extension poles, the Solo 100-001 maintains its rigidity at full 4.5m extension. This "whip-free" design allows for precise placement of testing heads on detectors, even in high-airflow environments.

• Non-Conductive Safety: The high-quality fibreglass construction acts as a critical insulator, protecting the user from accidental electrical strikes—a mandatory requirement for many modern Health & Safety site audits.

• Twist-Lock Security: Each of the four sections features a secure locking mechanism, ensuring the pole remains at the desired height throughout the testing schedule without slipping or collapsing.

• Universal Tool Connection: The "No Climb" head is designed to instantly accept the Solo 330 Smoke Dispenser, the Solo 461 Heat Tester, and the Solo 200 Removal Tool.

System Compatibility & Use

The Solo 100 is the most versatile fibreglass extension pole in the fire trade. It is the primary tool for:

• Smoke & CO Testing: Works seamlessly with Solo 330 and 332 dispensers.

• Heat Testing: The preferred pole for the Solo 461 cordless heat kit.

• Height Extensions: For ceilings over 6m, the Solo 100 can be extended further using up to three Solo 101 Extension Poles.

Choosing the Right Height for Your Site

The Solo 100-001 is part of a modular telescopic system. If your site requirements differ from the standard 6m reach, consider these compatible alternatives:

• Solo 108-001 (2.5m Telescopic Pole): The compact alternative. 2-sections with a maximum working reach of 4 metres. Ideal for standard office ceilings and retail units.

• Solo 101-001 (1.13m Extension Pole): Designed to extend the Solo 100 or 108. You can add up to three Solo 101 poles to a Solo 100 to reach heights of up to 9 metres.

• Solo 200-001 (Universal Removal Tool): Fits directly onto the Solo 100 head for the safe removal and replacement of most leading detector brands.

Maintenance & Storage Pro-Tips

1. Cleaning: To keep the telescopic action smooth, wipe the sections with a clean, dry cloth every 30 days. Avoid using heavy oils or WD40, as these attract site dust which can jam the locking mechanism.

2. Safety Check: Before use, visually inspect the fibreglass for cracks or splinters. A damaged pole loses its non-conductive properties.

3. Correct Stowing: Always collapse the sections fully before transport. The 1.26m stowed length is designed to fit comfortably in most small and medium service vans.
