Solo 808 Smoke Detector Test Starter Kit - 4 Metres

Solo 808-001 Smoke Detector Test Starter Kit – 4 Metres

The Solo 808-001 smoke detector test starter kit is a complete entry-level solution designed for safe and effective functional testing of smoke detectors. As part of the Solo range, the Solo 808 kit provides all essential components required to carry out routine fire alarm testing at heights of up to approximately 4 metres.

This kit combines a telescopic access pole, aerosol smoke dispenser, and test aerosol, allowing engineers to introduce simulated smoke into detectors without the need for ladders or access equipment.

How the Solo 808 Test Kit Works

The Solo 808 enables functional testing by delivering controlled simulated smoke directly into the detector chamber, allowing detectors to be tested at heights of up to approximately 4 metres.

The system works by:

• Using the Solo 330 aerosol dispenser to apply test smoke

• Delivering the aerosol via the Solo A5 test canister

• Positioning the equipment at height using the Solo 108 telescopic access pole

This allows detectors to be safely activated and tested in line with fire safety maintenance requirements.
