Maximising Your Test Tunnel: Efficiency, Automation & Upgrades
For fire detection manufacturers, ensuring accurate and repeatable testing is crucial. A well-maintained test tunnel delivers reliable results, but many users overlook opportunities to enhance efficiency and automation.
Switching from Smoke to Heat Mode: Key Steps
- Remove Unnecessary Sensors – Some smoke detectors aren’t needed for heat testing and should be removed.
- Blank Off Empty Apertures – Prevent airflow disruptions by sealing empty sensor slots.
- Verify System Readiness – Ensure all remaining sensors and conditions are correctly set.
- Monitor Initial Readings – Run a short test before full operation to confirm accuracy.
Following these steps ensures a smooth transition while maintaining test precision.
