The fire safety industry has just received a significant upgrade with the launch of DT Connect V3, the latest iteration of Detectortesters comprehensive testing and asset management platform. As specialists in fire and security solutions, we’re excited to share how this transformative update is set to streamline workflows for fire safety professionals.

What makes DT Connect V3 special?
DT Connect V3 represents a fundamental shift in how fire system testing is approached. Rather than treating each site visit as a standalone event, the platform now enables professionals to build comprehensive, historical records that make subsequent testing faster, more accurate and significantly more efficient.
Test existing sites with complete historical context
One of the standout features is the ability to access complete site history and asset lists from previous visits. This means fire safety engineers can arrive on-site already knowing exactly what needs testing, where each device is located and what the testing history shows. No more time wasted trying to locate assets or wondering about previous test results – everything is available at your fingertips.


Optimised testing workflow that thinks ahead
DT Connect works alongside XTR2, the latest all-in-one test solution. This means when selecting an existing asset to test in DT Connect, XTR2 will already know the type of test that needs to be carried out. This eliminates guesswork, reduces the chance of incorrect testing procedures and ensures compliance with relevant standards every time.
Comprehensive asset management
Version 3 expands beyond traditional smoke and heat detectors to include a broader range of fire safety assets. You can now manage and test;
- Emergency lighting
- Extinguishers
- Fire doors
- Signage
This comprehensive approach means one platform can handle your entire fire system testing strategy, providing complete reporting across all asset types.



Crystal clear job summaries
The improved job summary feature provides immediate, clear overviews of all tested assets and their results. At a glance, you can see which devices passed, which require attention and what actions need to be taken. This transparency is invaluable for both the testing engineer and the client receiving the service.


Professional reporting that impresses
The updated professional reports are a significant step forward in presentation and functionality. The platform auto-generates comprehensive PDF reports complete with:
- Digital signatures for authenticity and legal compliance
- Full test breakdowns showing detailed results for each asset
- Professional formatting that reflects well on your business
- Historical data integration showing trends over time
The XTR2 advantage
DT Connect Version 3 works seamlessly with the XTR2 which continues to set the standard for fire detector testing equipment. The XTR2 offers:
- Comprehensive testing capabilities for all fire detector types
- Automatic result capture eliminating manual data entry
- Rapid smoke generation for quick detector activation
- Precision heat testing for both fast heat and hi-heat scenarios
- Sequential and combined modes for flexible testing workflows
