Smoke Detector Test Spray 250ml
Smoke Detector Test Spray (250 ml) is an aerosol test gas designed to simulate smoke particles for functional testing of photoelectric (optical) smoke detectors without using real smoke or open flame.
It allows fast, safe, and residue-free testing of detectors in:
- Fire alarm systems
- Industrial facilities
- Commercial buildings
- Residential installations
The spray ensures that the sensing chamber (not just the test button) is verified for proper operation.
Key Features
- Silicone-free formulation (prevents contamination)
- Evaporates completely without residue
- Non-damaging to electronic sensing chambers
- Fast activation of detector response
- No additional test equipment required
- Suitable for routine maintenance and compliance testing
- Typically supports ±100–150 tests per 250 ml can
