Solo Heat Detector Testing
Detector testing should be are an intrinsic part of maintaining any fire alarm system. Testing your heat detectors, whether fixed or rate of rise, is quick and easy with Solo Heat Detector Testers.
Solo Gas Detector Testing
The Solo Detector Testing system helps you establish that your gas detectors are working optimally with the minimum of effort and fuss. This quick guide explains how to test your gas detectors using Solo products.
Solo Smoke Detector Testing
The Solo 330 lets you functionally test compatible smoke detectors on a fire alarm system by introducing test aerosol into the sensing chamber. This checks whether the detector responds to the test aerosol. For the wider system checks, follow the site’s test plan and the detector and panel manufacturers’ instructions.

Apollo XP95 Detectors: Models, Bases & Compatibility (Updated 2026)
Apollo XP95 is an addressable fire detection range that includes optical smoke detectors, heat detectors, multisensors, bases and other loop devices. When choosing a new detector or replacing an existing one, match the exact detector model, base and control-panel support rather than relying on appearance alone. Updated 9 November 2026: detector models, base options and […]
What Are Reflective Beam Smoke Detectors And When Are They Used?
Beam smoke detectors are typically used to detect smoke over wide expanses. Places you might expect to see this kind of smoke detection include exhibition centres, churches, aircraft hangers, warehouses, factories and even casinos. In a standard beam smoke detector kit you would usually find a beam transmitter with an infra-red light source, a receiver […]
Introducing The Zeta Reflective Beam Smoke Detector
New to our range of Fire Alarm Detectors is the Zeta Reflective Beam Smoke Detector (ZT-BEAM), ideal for detecting smoke over large expanses like warehouses, museums and exhibition centres.
