Smoke alarm tester PRF PRF SMOKE 220 ml aerosol for testing smoke detectors

PRF SMOKE is a 220 ml aerosol smoke alarm tester designed to simulate smoke for testing and verifying the operation of optical smoke detectors. The product generates a controlled test aerosol that activates most photoelectric sensors without producing real combustion products or leaving residues. It is intended for routine inspection, maintenance checks and commissioning of fire detection systems to confirm detector responsiveness and help avoid false alarms during testing.

Advantages

The aerosol delivers a consistent, repeatable test pattern that mimics the optical properties of smoke, allowing safe functional checks without introducing soot or odor. Its compact 220 ml can is easy to store and handle, and the spray nozzle produces a fine mist that reaches detector sensing chambers reliably. The formulation is non-corrosive to detector components and evaporates after testing, leaving no visible deposits when used according to instructions.

Suitable for

• Functional testing of photoelectric (optical) smoke detectors
• Routine inspection and maintenance of fire alarm systems
• Commissioning and acceptance testing of new installations
• Training and demonstrational testing without using real smoke

Key specifications

• Formulation: controlled aerosol test medium designed to simulate smoke optical properties
• Volume: 220 ml spray can
• Dispensing: fine mist aerosol spray for targeted application
• Compatibility: effective with most optical/photoelectric smoke detectors
• Residue: low-residue, evaporative formulation when used as directed

How to use

Before testing, follow the detector manufacturer's maintenance instructions and isolate or notify the alarm monitoring service if required. Hold the can upright and apply short bursts of aerosol at a distance recommended by the detector manufacturer or approximately 10–30 cm from the detector cover, directing the spray toward the detector's sensing openings rather than directly onto electronic components. Observe the detector's response; a triggered alarm indicates the detector is responding correctly. After testing, ventilate the area if necessary and reset the detector according to its operating procedure.

Usage recommendations

Use PRF SMOKE only on detectors rated for optical smoke testing and in well-ventilated areas. Avoid prolonged direct spraying into detector internals; perform short bursts and allow components to dry between tests. Store the aerosol upright at recommended temperatures, keep away from open flames and sources of heat, and follow local regulations for aerosol disposal.
