Description
The TESTICO or “TC3” CO Capsule is a specialist consumable cartridge designed exclusively for use with the Testifire detector-tester systems (e.g., the Kit 6201 which supports smoke, heat and CO testing).
This capsule generates a controlled carbon monoxide (CO) stimulus when used with the Testifire head unit, allowing for reliable functional testing of CO detectors without relying on pressurised gas canisters.
Key Features
CO generation module for Testifire systems – Ensures the CO sensor within a fire detector is exercised and validated.
Compact, replaceable capsule format – Fits into the Testifire tester head for repeated use (many tests per capsule) without the need for large gas cylinders.
Safe, non-pressurised and non-hazardous format – Easier logistics, transport and storage compared to traditional gas cylinders.
Compatible with smoke/heat/CO test kits (e.g., Kit 6201) – Designed to integrate seamlessly into the multi-stimulus tester workflow.
Supports compliance testing of CO detectors – Enables service technicians to verify CO detection function as part of fire alarm maintenance regimes.
Applications
Maintenance & Service Technicians – Used during scheduled inspections of fire detection systems to test CO sensors within combined smoke/CO/heat detectors.
Commercial, Residential & Industrial Installations – Ideal for multi-unit dwellings, offices, warehouses and industrial zones where CO sensing capability is required.
Fire Alarm System Servicing – Works within multi-stimulus tester kits (e.g. Testifire 6201) to streamline detector testing operations and reduce on-site tool set requirements.
