  • Approved by CO awareness

  • No other equipment needed to test the CO alarm

This is the technical data for the Detectagas CO Alarm Tester.

Product Code DGTESTER
Weight 0.1 kg

How to use

In order for a CO alarm to activate the sensor must detect CO gas for up to 3 minutes at a given level (eg 300 ppm).

It is therefore necessary to maintain the level of test gas at the sensor for up to three minutes.

The Detectagas test kit includes a patented surround and seal system which is placed around the detector to facilitate this test.

Simply spraying a test gas at the detector will not provide a true test.

The Detectagas test method is unique and subject to four patents and design registration.

The test typically takes 2 -3 minutes to activate an alarm.

The Detectagas kit is self contained and does not require any additional equipment.

Q.I have seen your product on testing CO Detectors and like what I see but what do the Regs say with regards to the testing of CO Detectors.

A.There is no legal or BSI requirement to test the CO detectors with a test gas. The weekly check with the test button is fully sufficient, as long as you choose a quality CO detector. The test gas is offered a a 'belts and braces' option if a customer feels unnerved by the lack of physical evidence that the alarm works. The difficulty is that the gas, once sprayed into the test bag, does not have a known concentration and therefore only offers a 'rough' evidence that the alarm works.
