Solo 809 Smoke Detector Test Starter Kit - 6 Metres

Solo 809-001 Smoke Detector Test Starter Kit – 6 Metres

The Solo 809-001 smoke detector test starter kit is a complete solution designed for safe and effective functional testing of smoke detectors at increased heights. The Solo 809 kit provides all essential components required to carry out routine fire alarm testing at heights of up to approximately 6 metres.

This Solo 809 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 809 Test Kit Works

The Solo 809 enables functional testing by delivering controlled simulated smoke directly into the detector chamber, allowing detectors to be tested at heights of up to approximately 6 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 Solo telescopic access poles

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

Where the Solo 809 Fits in the Solo Range

The Solo 809 kit is part of the Solo detector testing range, which is available in different configurations depending on required working height and application.
