z The RE6 detector tester is used together with the REF8, REF8-S test gas can. It is
designed for testing ionization and optical scattering type smoke detectors. To
make a performance check on the MS6, MS7, MS8 and MS9 smoke detectors, the
RE6 detector tester requires bellows (see details for ordering).
z The detector tester is placed over the detector and given a brief push to release the
test gas and so simulate the presence of fire aerosols. The detector responds
quickly and actuates an alarm.
z REF8 und REF8-S have been developed as environmentally friendly test gases and
fulfill severe environmental regulations, but contain flammable substances. REF 8
can be used in the temperature range of 0… +40 °C, REF8-S for -20… +40 °C in
dry or humid environment. REF8-S is primarily used at temperatures below 0°C or
for detectors reacting only with high smoke concentrations, or with long signal integration.
Transport by car is advised in a heat protection.
z Comply with the operating instructions on the detector tester.
